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.

B: at 5am, Fruit and Fibre, toast and marmite, black coffee.
Later: satsuma, tea.
Lunchtime, starving after scan at hospital: crisps, tea.
L: lentil and tomato soup, bit of focaccia, two oatcakes with gorgonzola, bit of prosciutto. Too much milk chocolate.
Supper: (at neighbour's who is a brilliant cook) bruschetta with very garlicky tomatoes, burrata, salami; orecchiete with cavolo nero and Italian sausage; green salad; fruit tart. And I drank a small glass of red wine, which, while not exactly lovely, wasn't completely revolting, for the first time since chemo!
