Thanks for all the weather comments yesterday - I always love it when a comment turns into a post and makes lots more comments!

Briefly last Saturday I thought about a week of meal photos, but then the leek and kale fritters served with bacon and tinned tomatoes on Sunday weren't very photogenic (although it was a very filling and tasty meal for a day with snow).
Which started off looking like this, got heavier with huge flakes which somehow settled on the very wet ground for an hour before everything turned to rain - quelle surprise!
I eat my main meal about 1 o'clock-ish nowadays, preferring to eat a much smaller meal later in the day...............sign of old age I reckon!
The famous nutritional advice to "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" is most commonly attributed to Adelle Davis (1904–1974), a prominent American nutritionist and author. She popularized this phrase in the mid-20th century to promote eating a heavy breakfast, a moderate lunch, and a light dinner for better health.
Breakfast each morning at the moment, until I fancy a change. Chopped apple/pear and prunes, warmed for a minute in the microwave, toast (home made bread 50/50 wholemeal/white) and cheats home made marmalade and a large coffee.
This was one day.............
Main meal - Stir fry carrots, onion and chopped kale with noodles and soy sauce and two each cook-from-frozen party food ....... mini spring rolls and tempura prawns. Small meal - Celery, Hovis biscuits and Blue Stilton cheese.
That was the end of that brief foray into a food blog week!
Last weeks good news was the letter from NHS telling me all was well with my mammogram. Last weeks bad news was a letter from HMRC telling me I'd earned too much money from my savings so they'd have to tell Suffolk County Council to tax me more on the spouses pension.
Oh well, I downsized to have some savings - Ha!
I know lots of people aren't watching the Winter Olympics but if you can cope with it have a look today at the GB team in the Men's Curling at 6pm this evening. They did so well to get through to the final. It's a fascinating sport, tactical and more difficult than it looks of course. I'll be cheering them on from Mid Suffolk
Back Monday
Great news re your mammogram x we will be cheering on from the NW!
ReplyDeleteGood news about the mammogram. I pushed the boat out as T&R here, and got two good gammon steaks (£4.50) - although the best ones were £6! I did cheesey potatoes too, Rosie's favourite and she ate a goodly portion. You have some healthy eating there.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a relief to get your results through. And your brief foray into food blogging is appreciated. I love to be nosy at what other people enjoy eating - and to get some different ideas, of course :)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be watching the curling, as I find it absolutely fascinating. I would love to give it a try, even though I'd almost certainly be hopeless at it. Xx
I loved reading Adele Davies books from the library I’ve searched trying to find any of her books but can’t find any anywhere
