Well it is Wednesday already so must catch up on my blog. Luckily I have kept a record of all breakfast, lunch and dinner so no problems remembering this time.
Monday being a bank holiday we treated it as a Sunday and had a roast for dinner.
But to start with breakfast, nothing exciting just shredded wheat. But for lunch as Steve was out for the day I thought I would look for inspiration in the cookery books and treat myself to something new.
As I have mentioned in the past I use cookery books more for inspiration than for slavishly following any recipe, So the best cook books have inspirational pictures, and one of my favourites is Nigella Lawson’s, Nigella Bites. This was where I found the ultimate naughty sandwich. She calls it trashy food, something for occasional indulgence. It was a banana and peanut butter sandwich, fried in butter! How bad is that? Even then I did not manage to be as bad as the recipe, as that asked for white bread and I did not have any, so it was made with nice soft wholemeal bread instead. Promise will try harder and get white bread for the next time. It was good, well done Nigella. It was according to her, Elvis Presley’s favourite sandwich.
Dinner was also inspired by Nigella Bites cook book, Slow roasted leg of Lamb, I did not have any pomegranate so that was left out this time, I have used it before and it is a good and easy recipe, so can highly recommend it. I can honestly say I can recommend the whole book as it is definitely one of my most used. Must tell you about some of the others that I use frequently. But that is for another blog.
Anyhow back to Monday dinner, with the lamb all the usual vegetables. But to start with, Cantaloupe melon with black forest ham.
Tuesday was a simple day for food, for breakfast shredded wheat, lunch cheese on toast, and Dinner cold lamb and salad.

Sunday

Shredded wheat for breakfast, just one with hot water a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of milk just enough to keep me going for the first part of the day, Walk the dogs and feed the horses. One of the horses is still stabled at night so I have to muck out and fill a hay net ready for the evening. The rest of the horses are not stabled so just need a change of rug, hay, feed and field clearing. If anyone is interested I plan to start another blog dedicated to all things horsy in my day.
For lunch it had to be toast, as the last of the bread was not as fresh as it could have been. but as I refuse to waste anything if I can help it, toasting the bread makes it quite edible. As we had not had any oily fish for quite a few days I had the toast spread with sardines in tomato sauce, followed by yet another hot cross bun.
Dinner. I had planned to start with a salad, but then remembered that I had bought two cantaloupe melons and as one of them is now ripe that served as a starter, just sprinkled with a little sea salt. For the main dinner we had boiled rice, pork with ginger, red pepper spring onion, and fennel. Served with stir fried vegetables, green pepper, onions garlic, ginger, mushrooms, carrots and cauliflower.
Well plenty of vegetables today if a bit light on the fruit. Also had a few peanuts and a gin and tonic.
