2025 - Today's Recipe

B. Porridge, wheat flakes, flax seeds and broken mandarin segments from a tin. I seem to have been given lots of these!
L. Prawns in seafood sauce with lettuce, salad leaves & tomatoes
Two mince pies.
D. Cheap Fish in batter with baby potatoes.

All FREE except the fish (50p).

Eggs with black pudding and the last cherry tomatoes for breakfast.
Lunch was sourdough bread with liver pate, coffee and yoghurt with granola in a small bowl.
Dinner was roast chicken with oat 'rice' which is a big thing here - it's basically whole grains of oats that you cook like rice. It's nicer than it sounds. I mixed in a leek and carrot sauce into the oats. Lovely.

Trying to lose weight so resisted baking a recipe for a crunchy apple cake that I found on FB, and instead had raspberry pudding as an after dinner treat.

Spaghetti bologna’s

Eggs with caviar, black pudding, cherry tomatoes for breakfast
Baked potato with pulled pork, cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn and beetroot for lunch/dinner
Coffee with cinnamon bun this evening

Eggs with caviar?!! That puts my cornflakes to shame    I'll have to roll out the smoked salmon or eggs benedict to keep up with you Sarriss. Not likely though. Cornflake or weetabix are easier.

haha it's not the posh kind of caviar. It's creamed smoked cod roe that you buy cheaply in a tube

Like taramasalata? Very nice. I also used to love smoked cod's roe,  the natural brown sort, on toast. I'd forgotten about it until this conversation.

Cooked off some cooking bacon in air fryer but it was too salty to eat so Kato got most of it. Undettered I cooked off some YS smoked Haddock and had this with Mozarella cheese.

Porridge with (frozen)raspberries, blackberries and yoghurt.
Fishfinger, lettuce and tatar sauce cobs.
Peaches, mango and banana.
Mackerel and Jerusalem artichoke gratin

Sausages and mustard mash with spring greens and gravy ( possibly fancy, probably not)

B. Homemade bread and blackcurrant jam
L. Prawn mayo & lettuce sandwiches
D. Veggie burgers with "roast" baby potatoes.

All FREE

It's more solid than taramasalata, but I love that too. It's saltier too, so I suppose it's a stronger version. 

I used to crave the stuff when I couldn't get hold of it, to the point that I'd travel for two hours to get to IKEA just to buy the stuff from their Swedish shop at the other side of the tills. Since coming back to Sweden, I've tried all the brands, and found that I enjoy a big supermarket's own brand the best.

And today's breakfast was pretty much the same as usual, lunch was a bowl of kefir with granola and fruit, dinner was roast chicken with potatoes, oats rice and a lovey cabbage side dish that I haven't tried before.

I had loads more garlic and lemon in mine, and more pepper too. Absolutely heavenly. I'll be making that again.
