Shiny new thread, continuing from here

A diary thread for our daily meals, to record, share, glean menu inspiration and chat, but no judging each other’s food choices.

Supper: leftover steak and kidney pie, mash and carrots, spring greens. Too much Green and Black milk chocolate.

Today I’ve eaten...

Brunch - 2 x toasted white crusty bread with a whole pack of mushrooms sliced and fried in butter with coffee.

D: haven't had it yet but will be katsu curry with rice and Pak choi. And a glass of red wine.

I've been making food with my daughter (starts weaning next week) and tons of snacks for the toddler, all to freeze. As a result, I've basically been picking all day at various bits, licking the spoon for the cake max, tried some orange and chocolate banana bread and nibbled lots of chocolate chips!

Porridge with stewed cinnamon apple
Baked beans and sausages (vege) on toast
Jacket potato with cheese and sauteed mixed peppers/onion, green salad

B: full English, friend came for breakfast. Black coffee.
L: lentil and tomato soup, bread, one water biscuit with tapenade. Water biscuit was a bit soft . Tea. Three quarters of a pear.
Supper: went to a local Sardinian restaurant for the first time. Arancini which was horrible, we both only ate half. Pasta with wild boar ragu, v nice. They brought us olives and very good bread too.
More tea later but managed not to eat chocolate. However just had tea and a marmite sandwich.
@AwkwardSquad congratulations on your first mince pie of the season! Hope it was a good one. I'm planning to make some today.

Love these kind of threads, always really interesting!
B - x2 toast with peanut butter
L - Letfover meat and potato pie from the night before

One glass of white wine, lots of tea

Muesli with yogurt, banana and sunflower seeds.

Two meals inspired by this thread today - tofu scramble and savoury vegetable crumble. Very nice.

Dinner - Asian beef bowl which is really very simple... (plain boiled white rice with beef mince cooked in a Chinese bbq sauce, a little chilli and spring onion) with pak Choi. Was going to do chunky soup and dumplings but by the time we got in from a walk with friends and I’d remembered it was too late to get it into the slow cooker!

Edit to breakfast, it was blackberries not kiwi

@Bloodybridget your homemade mince pies?

The one I had yesterday was very nice, thank you for asking! From local posh patisserie, they make their own mincemeat. Too expensive to be more than an occasional treat but lovely every now and then. Still not as nice as homemade, though.

Your food today sounds delicious!

B: Greek yogurt with berries and honey, slice of toast with peanut butter, lots of tea
L: spicy carrot and lentil soup, cheese and chutney Sandwich, an apple, piece of homemade chocolate orange banana bread
D: homemade fish and chips with peas
I've also just had some crackers with Wensleydale cheese and chutney which was lovely

Yes @AwkwardSquad I made the mince pies, and if I say it myself, they are pretty good!

Two mugs of tea.

A large Aperol Spritz and a few crisps. A stuffed field mushroom (stuffed with walnuts and blue cheese) on a pile of rocket. Slow roast leg of lamb with garlic, jacket potato with butter, steamed curly kale and green beans. A tiny slice of dark chocolate and apricot tart and a tiny slice of orange and almond cake. A slice of vintage gruyere and 2 crackers. 2 glasses Sauvignon and a glass of port. A peppermint tea.

3 ryvita thins and some left over home made guacamole.

Another cup of tea.

B: Apple and cinnamon crunch cereal
L: Vegetable soup
S: Apple
D: Chicken roast dinner
S: Banana

@Nextphonewontbesamsung what a feast! It sounds amazing. I’m guessing that it was a special occasion and you don’t eat like that every day... if you do, the rest of us are going to have to seriously up our game!

B: raspberry and almond porridge
L: beans and cheese on toast (had a massive craving for this), an apple, Greek yogurt
D: steak fajitas, salad, corn on the cob, tortilla chips

I'll be having crackers wiyh Wensleydale and chutney later

My much more mundane daily meals:

B - muesli, kiwi, yoghurt
L - tofu scramble and brown pilau rice
Grapes and an apple
D - more vegetable crumble, broccoli and peas; oat molasses cookie

Oh Lord. My everyday food is totally mundane but yesterday we went to foodie friends for Sunday lunch. A rare treat! The only things I actually made on that menu were the cups of tea for breakfast and the guacamole which I made the night before.

Today:

B - 2 mugs of tea with semi skimmed.

L - peanut butter and marmite sandwich on wholemeal. A milky coffee with 1 sugar. A handful of green grapes.

D - chicken, veg and cashew nut stirfry (thank you M&S) with basmati rice.
