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

Sunday and it was mother’s day, so hubby came with me and walked the dogs, and as I had only one lot of horses to feed and muck out ,the job was soon done, so it did not really matter that we had missed first breakfast.
On our return home, I searched through the freezer for breakfast type things, and came up with some bagels. So bagels with a couple of rashers of smoked bacon and cream cheese that was breakfast sorted. Not very Kosher is it, bacon with bagels.
As it was mother’s day our son and heir and his fiancée had invited us and her mother and father to lunch.
They are both good cooks and as usual, a good time was had by all. For lunch we had Tagine of lamb, which is basically a Moroccan lamb, apricot and almond stew, served with bulgur wheat with raisins and almonds. Extremely tasty and highly recommended. For desert, pear and raspberry chocolate pudding with ice cream.
By the evening time we were not really hungry as it is unusual for us to have dinner, at lunch time, so we settled for a help yourself, to -: salad, cheese and some of the corned beef
