Dinner was first cooking for friends in what feels like forever and it was fab (even if I did think at one point that I should have given myself less to do 😂) I really think feeding others feeds my soul...

Oh I so agree @PartTimeDomesticGoddess

Friday:
Basically ate Bombay mix until the evening when we went to a yakatori for dinner where I had miso soup and grilled aubergine, shishito peppers, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and okra

Today:
B: Mashed avocado and chilli on oatcakes
L: avocado sushi roll and two oranges
D: went to an outdoor theatre (!!!!) and had a ton of nuts then a bowl of chickpeas when I came home and was hungry!

Ooooh you 2 are having exciting times!!! Lucky PartTime Did you make your own galette and vanilla ice cream?
Tell me about the open air theatre, not a drive in cinema? Kobani

B. Figs, walnuts\pumpkin seeds with an apricot\apple smoothie.
L. White bean/garlic dip with cucumber and ryvitas.
S. Bowl of spelt flakes and molasses

Outdoor theatre in California sounds amazing @KobaniDaughters. What was on?
@ppeatfruit I made the galette but not the ice cream (I'm a Swedish glacé girl 😬) I made this recipe, which was very nice (although DH says it's not a galette as that should be a pancake rather than pastry) www.lazycatkitchen.com/vegan-strawberry-galette/#ingredients-box

Yesterday
B: muesli with seeds, flakes almonds, nectarine and blueberries with soya milk
D: black pudding and square sausage from the Simon howie breakfast pack (best ones IMO), baked beans, beefsteak tomato, mushrooms, hash brown, spinach, avocado, slice of toast

Today
B: muesli with flakes almonds, seeds, mango, raspberries and soya milk
L: lentil, roasted sweet potato and red onion, pomegranate molasses salad
D: pizza (frozen dough from Tesco) with hm pizza sauce topped with kinda co mozzarella, capers, jalapeños, black olives and artichoke hearts

Oh, and a big salad with the pizza and a mango sorbet cornetto for pudding 😋

Part Time Tell your dh from a person who lives in France that a galette (according to my dictionary) is a cake that is "rond et plat" I'm not a pedant I think the buckwheat pancakes in the north can be called galettes too.

B. raspberry\strawberry and apple almond smoothie.
L. Marinaded tofu with peas, spinach and mushrooms
S.Ryvitas with pnut butter olive oil and yeast spread. with a decaff soya capuzi.

Open air theatre was a local small theatre that turned their car park into an outdoor stage. It was lovely to see live performances but honestly the play wasn’t suited to an outdoor space and it was a shame they made it pros-arch because there are fun and creative things you can do when the seating isn’t set (I make alternative space theatre and immersive events!) but was nice to be out.

We leave for the U.K. in a week so I need all your best vegan goodie suggestions to ask my mum to get in - the black pudding sounds good!!

Yesterday:
B: a waffle and maple syrup
L: butternut squash, avocado and pineapple tacos, strawberry shortbread cookies
D: falafel, cabbage and tahini pita
S: peanuts, salt and vinegar crisps with caramelised onion dip, watermelon

@ppeatfruit you don't need to be a pedant, that's my DH's job 😂 We did eat them in the north(ish) as pancakes but I'm taking that to mean that both are right 😉
@KobaniDaughters frustrating for you that you could see ways they could have done it better! How long are you over for? We really like the black pudding, but the only place down south that I know to buy them is from vegankind supermarket online. I try to spend £65 so that the chilled delivery only costs £1 (otherwise it's about £8!) and the most annoying thing is that they clearly say they've been frozen before so can't be frozen and need to be eaten within 4 days of delivery. I like them enough to work around that though and order store cupboard things, snacks and sometimes vitamins or artisanal nut cheese to qualify for the delivery. How long are you over for this time?

B: Monday smoothie
L: same lentil salad as yesterday with some beetroot, tomatoes and the kinda co mozzarella added. Mango
D: 2 Richmond sausages, new potatoes, broad beans, tenderstem, carrots and roasted asparagus with gravy

Oops, didn't mean to ask how long you are over for twice @KobaniDaughters 🙈😂. It's been a long day...

Back for a month!! Will test to release day 5 I think even though all the tests will add £600-700 Onto our trip

Will add Richmond sausages onto my mum’s list

my dh too! PartTime

Kobani Yes the testing is crazy expensive, ,Just for me to go to Eng. it cost us 765 euros (including the trains and taxi across Paris . We're both pensioners so are thinking seriously about my doing another trip, (so annoying considering I've had 2 Pfizer jabs and loads of negative tests, oh and I've had Cov. mildly). Sorry for the rant!

B. Finished apricot apple and fig smoothie
L. HM pesto sauce with rice pasta.
Sn. S. picked at tinned dolmades and pasta

L: snacky lunch of crisps and onion dip and cucumber and sweets!
D: baked violife feta and cherry tomatoes, roast squash and crusty bread
S: Bombay mix

I'd be ranting about that much money @ppeatfruit
@KobaniDaughters did you have Richmond sausages on your last trip? I might be going off them a bit, but they're the ones I always buy as they're the ones DD15 likes

FD today
L: salad of cannellini beans, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, celery and spring onion dressed with lemon juice, chopped basil and chilli flakes
S: protein shake
D: Romano pepper and cherry tomatoes roasted with garlic and a little oil, silken tofu scramble

Yes Part

! Oh I remembered that there is an Xmas\New Year Galette\ flat pastry type cake here, it doesn't look exciting but it has a marzipan type filling and a little gold treat for the person who finds it! I keep meaning to make it but it's tricky when we're GF , low sugar and I'm vegan!

B. HM apricot (fresh and soaked dried) juice and Lemon, apple and ground linseed smoothie
L. 3 slices spelt bread with hm white bean dip and salad.
S. Cauliflour. pumpernickel with yeast spread. Tofu yohurt and molasses.

S: cashew yoghurt

Today:
B: leftover cinammon roll
S: crackers and oat butter
D: stuffed round squash (with lentils, roasted tomatoes, olives and parsley) and air fried yams, a yoghurt

PartTime I looked up Galette in Elizabeth David's French Provincial Cooking book , and it can be quite a few things, including your version and the 12th night cake !

Kobani Did you stuff the round courgette yourself? I like those but they're quite wet

B. I finished the apricot smoothie.
L. 2 pumpernickels with pnut butter and yeast spread/spring onion, cucumber, salad.
Sn. Hemp choc. dessert.
S. Carrot/lettuce/fresh ginger juice and ryvitas

B: porridge with figs and walnuts
L: sweet potato with chickpea tuno and rocket
D: lentil spag bol with leftover rocket

That's interesting @ppeatfruit! I used to have a book by Elizabeth David, can imagine how revolutionary some of her 'continental' cooking was when she published. I love that sort of social history type stuff

FD again yesterday
L: same cannellini bean salad as Wednesday
S: protein shake
D: shakshuka made with chopped spinach, silken tofu and capers

Today
B: overnight oats with nectarine, raspberries and seeds
L: beetroot, potato salad made with peas, broad beans, grated kohlrabi, avocado, artichoke hearts and vinaigrette
D: Bosh spicy Dan Dan noodles with wok fried greens
S: cleos peanut butter cups, salt and pepper cashews

@ppeatfruit I did indeed and even grew them ourselves - they weren’t wet at all which was great as yes I agree sometimes they can be

Picky day here with so set meals really:
Leftover half a squash stuffed with lentils, cucumber, pesto, hummus, guacamole, carrots, cashews, blueberries, kimchi

I love social history too Part I suppose i'm part of it! I remember the first avocado we ate in the 70s! I have Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book cook book which is brilliant because it gives good recipes for a every type of veg. known then but she wouldn't be impressed by vegans! Strangely she sometimes sneers at veg being 'healthy'

B. White nectarines\lemon\ dates\ almond butter\almond milk smoothie
L.Bowl of steamed cauliflour with spelt toast\dried basil and olive oil.
S. Bowl of gf oats, almond milk with spelt flakes and molasses

Oh it's quiet, it's rainy here. Hope you had an uneventful journey Kobani

B. Finished the nectarine smoothie with a couple of figs and pumpkin seeds.
L. Ryvitas with yeast spread and salad.
S. HM swiss chard curry and tofu yoghurt with quinoa.

Hello again everyone! I haven't posted recently as I fell into a rut of doing the same meals every week and I was boring myself.

Another vote for Richmond meat-free kobani - my other staples are Tesco free-from soy yoghurt which is the only one I know of that doesn't have added sugar, and DD's new favourite, Quorn Roarsomes.

Yesterday:

B. Ground linseeds/lemon'fresh ginger and apple juice smoothie.
L. Swiss chard curry and quinoa with plain tofu yoghurt, (btw which you can get from HF shops in Eng. and here).
