BloomedAgain · 29/03/2020 22:01

@dellacucina my fridge does the same. All works fine for a while to lull me into a false sense of security, and then suddenly frozen rocket etc (which I incorporated into my pasta sauce tonight).

Nuttyaboutnutella · 30/03/2020 08:08

Yesterday...
B: tried something kinda new - Yoghurt parfait. Layers of Greek yogurt, muesli and mixed berries, topped with chopped nuts and honey. It was lovely and filling.
L: scrambled eggs on toast, and mushrooms. Also had two tangerines and shared a packet of crisps with DP.
S: shared some chocolate biscuits with DS
D: a not so diet friendly macaroni cheese (using up odds and ends of various cheeses) with roasted tomatoes and green beans.

Comefromaway · 30/03/2020 22:03

No I didn’t have beans on toast, I used up yesterday’s bacon and had a bacon sandwich!

dellacucina · 30/03/2020 22:25

Toast with butter and strawberry jam, Caffe latte, square 85% dark chocolate, and finished my daughter's breakfast cookie. She had a bizarrely low appetite today.

@BloomedAgain today's refrigerator-influenced culinary delight was a lunch of previously frozen cucumber made into a stir fry with some sad mini corn that my daughter wanted to buy but then hated. Again, it was fine.

For afternoon snacks, I had a spoonful of peanut butter, a couple of squares of chili chocolate, one rye cracker, some grapes, and a cup of tea with milk and honey

Dinner was tagliatelle Bolognese and a glass of red wine

BloomedAgain · 30/03/2020 23:06

Breakfast was more buttered toast
Lunch was a slice of frittata with yet more toast and some grilled Parma ham with stuffed vine leaves
Dinner was penne with grilled tuna but this evening I've again indulged my weakness for almond butter.
@DellaCucina I'm scrabbling to find fresh veg and stirfried some cucumber last week. More as a vehicle for sesame oil and ginger though, but it worked.
My meals may get more (or less!) varied at the weekend as a farmer is going to deliver a 25kg bag of potatoes and some other veg. Gnocchi, rosti, hash browns ... ahead.

Shockers · 30/03/2020 23:17

No breakfast.

L- pasta with homemade wild garlic and nettle pesto, boiled eggs and salad.

D- homemade steak and mushroom lattice pie, roast baby potatoes, broccoli and carrots.

S- banana loaf.

BloomedAgain · 30/03/2020 23:25

Your pesto sounds delicious. I have nettles and wild garlic (or maybe three-cornered leek) in the garden so may experiment. Lots of fresh basil might cover up any errors I make.
