S: guacamole and tortilla chips, 3 dates, salted nuts
D: GRT minestrone with a sourdough cheese toastie. Almond magnum

Oooh are you actually moving back ? Kobani Are you in the South now? I wonder if I could make the mozzarella with soaked almonds Part ?
B. Half a pomelo, half a smoothie.
L. Ryvitas, beetroot dip, with cucumber and yeast spread.
S. Toast with pnut butter/yeastspread, olive oi, onion and cucumber.
Sn. Tofu yoghurt with molasses

That’s our current plan @ppeatfruit some time next year - doing lots of reccies this and next week of schools and areas

L: satay tofu and fennel with a Moroccan cook chickpea rice thing, strawberries and ice cream
D: mum bought me the applewood cheddar so I had cheese on toast
S: brownie and Bombay mix

FINALLY tried the Richmond sausages and they’re lush!

Ooh, satay tofu and fennel sounds amazing!

B: toast
L: peanut butter and banana sandwich
D: wholewheat tagliatelle with a gochujang tomato sauce

S: brownie
L: roasted tomato and almond red rice with Pre-bought beetroot falafel and salad, vegan kitkat (omgomgomgomg)
D: 4 Richmond sausages and a bowl of strawberries….and another brownie!!

B. peach\nectarine\apple\date,almond smoothie
L. New loaf with rye and buckwheat (made specially for me by our bakers !) sandwich with onion salad with pnut butter\yeast spread.
S. French green beans and white beans shallot salad.

That's how I felt about the vegan Kit Kat @KobaniDaughters 😋

Monday was
B: Monday smoothie
L: leftover minestrone with pine nuts
D: huuuge portion of Dahl, cumin roasted cauliflower, small portion of rice and naan bread

FD yesterday
L: lentil and rice hotpot
S: protein shake
D: silken tofu shakshuka

So vegan Kit Cat is better than the mainstream one! (i'm a bit of a chocolate snob) I haven't eaten those type of bars for many years and since being taken over by Hersheys I hear that cadbxxxs is even worse!!
Perhaps they've upped their game with the vegan bars

B. Peach/almond smoothie
L. Ryvitas with my bean dip and salad.
S. bowl of rice and spelt puffs with molasses and almond.

Don’t get your hopes up @ppeatfruit it’s hardly like eating fancy decent chocolate, it literally tastes the same as the non vegan kitkats! But I enjoyed eating “trashy” chocolate for a change to be sure

S: cranberry and citrus flapjack with an oat milk latte
L: smoked hummus and salad sandwich
S: Bombay mix
D: leftover roasted tomato rice, Richmond sausages, fried mushrooms, chickpeas and broccoli

@ppeatfruit definitely not posh chocolate but it was goooood

Thanks you two I won't go out of my way to get one! I did quite like the Moo Free bars but now I've cut right down on sugar I can't eat those I don't understand why they don't do a low sugar bar. Rice milk has a natural sweetness so they don't need to add soooo much extra!

B. Finish almond smoothie
L. Hm Bean soup and pumpernickel with tofu yoghurt
S.Sn carrot, cucumber, basil spring onion juice with rice crackers

FD yesterday
L: chickpea and veg curry
S: protein shake, mango
D: spicy aubergine and tomato bake with silken tofu heated through it snd a sprinkle of nooch (worked surprisingly well, almost like baked ricotta)

Today
B: overnight oats with raspberries, mango and seeds
L: soulful onepot ping meal of African stew (chickpeas, peanut) which was tasty
D: spaghetti with freezer hm pesto, peas, broccoli and 3 moving mountains meatballs. Sprinkled with nooch and eaten with garlic bread

Sn. S. Lemon,raspberry, almond butter and milk, dates and apricots with some ground ginger smoothie Twas lovely

The food festival was in Winchester @ppeatfruit, so a nice short train ride to allow for cocktails in the sun 😬
It was lovely, albeit a bit too hot in the end. Lots of nice food on sale, enough people to feel busy but not at all crowded and all outside so felt very safe. Plenty of drinking options and a live music stage. It felt wonderfully normal!

B: porridge with blueberries, seeds and maple syrup. Nectarine
S: iced coffee (soya milk/vanilla)
L: masala dosa at the FF
D: pouch grains by Tesco and cumin roasted aubergine, carrot, butternut with a tahini/lemon/parsley dressing and toasted cashew nuts
S: pistachios, magnum, 3 x booja booja truffles

That sounds good Part was it vegan? I remember going to a smallish vegan FF in Brixton approx. 5 years ago, it was good with a lot of interesting food like vegan fish n' chips, our fairly new DIL is vegan as is her sister. So nice to be going to things now isn't it? I wonder how long it will last The dds WERE going to come over but everything is changing sooo fast.

@ppeatfruit no, not vegan but vegan options at quite a few places
And yes, I also wonder how long it will last with the speed at which things are changing :( Gives me some sort of sense of urgency to enjoy things while they're available, assessing risk in the situation iyswim. DD18 wanted to go clubbing on Monday, which is the first night they're open again. I don't blame her at all, but we managed to talk her out of it. We can't do that indefinitely though...

What?? There was a good fest in Winchester yesterday? We visited a few days ago for schools, I liked it a lot. So hard trying to figure out where to move to

We went to a market in Horsham yesterday where there were lots of street food stalls

Winchester is lovely @KobaniDaughters. So pretty, even in some parts of the town centre. How big is the area you're looking across?

B: berries, nectarine and oat smoothie
L: granary sandwich filled with oatly cream cheese, whole grain mustard, cauldron marinated tofu pieces and mushrooms and slices of aubergine roasted in garlic olive oil

S: iced coffee (soya milk/caramel), magnum, booja booja x3, halo pb and chic chip ice cream

Yes Winchester is lovely kobani .I have plans to go to Horsham (when I next get over ! ) because nearby there's the biggest and best 'rewilded' area in England which can be visited with an appointment .

B. Had some of the apricotraspberry smoothie
L.HM salad, garlic dressing, swiss chard, fennel, and french green beans, I too fell off the vegan wagon with half an organic goats cheese grilled by dh (who is now walking about, with difficulty, so I couldn't refuse!)
S. Spelt toast and yeast spread with pnut butter cucumber and salad.

Oh @ppeatfruit tell me more about the required area, my parents would love to know!

We’re sticking to the SE commuter belt where there are choices for good schools for D.C. at secondary, Petersfield and Liphook today!
