I post about my meals all the time elsewhere, and it occurred to me others might like to as well.
To start it off:
3:11 AM. Dinner: leftover panda express from the freezer followed by ice cream. (Breakfast was cereal.) Catching up on Lanterns.

I nearly always have cereal with added fruit for breakfast. At the moment we have some very nice plums from a local community farm that my husband volunteers at. Lunch is something like toast or soup often with the aforementioned peanut butter or marmite.
Last night's dinner was paratha with salad and a vegan ready meal that had been accidentally cooked on Wednesday as my husband thought it was something else.
Today is Friday so it's pasta and pesto night. Today we will also having wine.
The honey is local, the hives are a few doors from me, so the bees buzz around my dahlias and then make me honey!
My breakfast today was a cafe latte made at home; I seldom eat breakfast, though I do like porridge so occasionally have that.
Otoh, my capacity for necking wine seems unaffected.
Half a 150 ml tub of fromage frais for breakfast ( to line stomach pre-ibuprofen) before walk & bus to son’s to feed his cat. Sushi roll ( panko prawn & avocado) @ shops after mega-shop. Then home to collapse. Small slice orange cake post nap & finally reheated lamb shank, baked potatoes and pumpkin plus slightly oxidised red wine. Feeling full and happy.
Last night’s dinner was an odd “curry” by a friend who admits to being unable to cook curries, but it was a pretty good vegetable stew, everything cooked just enough: nothing under and not a mush. Mrs Sioni made a bread and butter pudding to finish which didn’t need cream or custard as there is enough genuine vanilla custard in there already. Delicious!
Lunch was Polish dumplings (pierogi ) and pickled red cabbage, followed by a piece of Cheddar cheese, and some little grapes from my friend Mr D's vine.
Tea may be soup (not sure what variety), followed by some of Mr D's apple crumble.
Evening grazing will probably be more cheese, with Ryvita or cream crackers. There are also fig rolls and shortbread biscuits!
Grapes and/or cheese may be grazed on later.
Today after my Zumba class I headed to the cafe and treated myself to a large slab of chocolate tiffin (thereby undoing any benefit from the Zumba) with my coffee. I then bypassed lunch and was out this evening at a nearby pub with a group of women I'm just getting to know here. I had fish and chips because Friday.
followed with 1 slice of wholemeal toast and Bovril and accompanied with a mug of very weak, black instant decaff coffee.
We usually go out for lunch on Fridays, but I hadn't the energy, so Mr RoS went round the corner to the Greek Gyro cafe for a takeaway sausage wrap for each of us. I ate the sausage & chips, with tomatoes from the garden, and saved the wrap until dinner time when I had it filled with a little leftover salmon and salad leaves. Had a Magnum (Classic) for my dessert
'Lunch' is a fish-cake with chips and mushy peas, cooking as I write...
Supper will be a steak with veggies, and a glass of Malbec.
Lunch: 4 oatcakes with Bleu d'Auvergne cheese, 1 apple, 1 clementine, 2 plums
Dinner (to come): crayfish salad, scaloppine milanese, runner beans, creme brulee with raspberries
The crayfish are the American signal type, an invasive species, so a tasty starter to help clear our rivers of a pest, definitely a win-win situation. The raspberries, runner beans and plums are all from the garden.
I realise it looks like a lot of food but I've spent the day chopping up felled ash trees.
Can’t fail with Shepherds pie. So often it resolves the “What are we going to eat?” question.
Just ate a vegetable stew which was the first proper thing I've made from the organic box delivered on Wednesday, with some herby sausages from my local butcher.
Lunch homemade broccoli soup - not all that interesting- followed by a pear and plums.
Pre-dinner cocktail 'New 1920s' - Canadian Club, sweet and dry vermouths, and orange bitters.
Dinner, steak'n'chips with chilli butter. Panacotta. Portugese red.
4:31 PM. Breakfast: eggs, leftover fish and potatoes from yesterday, Florida Datil pepper breakfast sauce, apples and honey for Rosh Hashanah, coffee. Today: grading, dishes, laundry, and reading. Maybe starting to put up Halloween decorations, hopefully. Maybe tidying kitchen. Watching Haunted Hotel (animated comedy series).
A couple of mini pork pies with a salad of mixed tomatoes from the garden for lunch.
Sweet potato and spinach dhal fr dinner, with a spoonful of yoghurt on top.
Should have been eaten with a flatbread of some kind, but I forgot to get them out of the freezer, so I microwaved a pack of brown rice to go with it.
Other than breakfast, we usually have leftovers on Sunday, so tomorrow we will be having more dhal, and as I made rather a large quantity we might be having another serving later in the week. fortunately Mr RoS doesn't remember his meals from one day to the next, so the same meal several times in one week is never a problem,
Felt a bit peckish mid afternoon, so couple of buttery crumpets with butter and honey were consumed. I haven't had crumpets for years, but felt like some this week.
Cheery husband cooks dinner on Sunday night, so we've just had a very tasty curried sausages and rice. White rice for the boys and brown for me.
Breakfast and lunch will be the same tomorrow, but in the evening it will be spaghetti bolognaise. We always eat this on Monday nights as a hangover from when I used to walk with friends and Cheery son would get this cooked while I was out and about.
Supper will be a Chinese takeaway at my niece's, to celebrate my great-niece's birthday.
Instead I had the last of the mini pork pies, a chunk of cheddar cheese, tomatoes & cucumber. Will probably have a watercress sandwich this evening, as Elder Son has been given a catering sized pack and brought us a couple of bunches. He brought some homemade soup, too. That will be my lunch tomorrow.
Took Beaky daughter number three out for lunch and had delicious seafood ravioli and foccacia bread and a glass of white wine.
Then this evening lemon coriander hummus and crisps.
Tomorrow I will redress the balance and eat enty of vegetables!
Tea was a couple of slices of pizza at church after the evening service. We always have food at the evening service in term time, paid for with voluntary donations.
Lunch, crunchy salad (cucumber, radish, red pepper and mange tout) topped with crispy fried guanciale.
Dinner, pan-fried trout and sauté potato. Apple crumble with apples from the garden. South African Sauvignon Blanc.
(Oh yes, the delivery company I use has it in stock!)
It works very well in carbonara. Hereabouts Lidl stock it.
Guanciale is one vital thing for carbonara. The other is the skill to do the egg and cheese sauce without cream!
Breakfast today was a bowl of cereal as usual and I am about to eat my lunchtime sandwiches because it is lunchtime which is why I'm aboard the Ship.
Lunch: cheese & onion sarnie from Tessie's, Twix bar, fizzy water.
Supper: smoked haddock fishcakes with mixed veggies, glass of NZ Sauv blanc.
Lunch, ham and cheese toastie, pear.
Dinner, Tuscan sausage in tomato sauce over pasta. Spanish red.
As Mr Heavenly is away on business in the US, there are leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Lunch was the soup Elder son made yesterday: Watercress & potato with little cubes of feta floating in it. Rather too salty for me, possibly on account of the feta. Followed it with the last slice of a coffee & walnut cake to take away the salty taste, but that just swapped too salty for too sweet.
Dinner - the sweet potato & spinach dhal that was meant for lunch yesterday with french beans from the garden and the defrosted pitta. Followed by a Magnum.
