we went out for lunch me and my daughter we had chicken salad wraps
and a cup of coffie
A new recipe: Italian meatball soup, delicious. Will have again.
Pixie darlin’ - salad??? - ergh yuk - rabbit food !!! - give me the rabbit instead and I’ll make a very wholesome Poacher’s pot casserole with it. Had one only last week as my butcher seems to have a glut of rabbits hanging up in his shop - delightful!!!
Eileen darlin’ - not really a ‘soup person’ but soup is merely a prelude to a ‘main course’. Can’t just have soup alone - must have something else to follow it.
I imagine even though this is a hearty soup it definitely wouldn’t be enough for you; but it, plus a roll, filled me up: meatballs, tomatoes, carrots, onions, celery, garlic,oregano, basil, small pasta shells, finely shredded mozzarella. Yummy.
Leg of pork ,mash,carrots and swede,brocolli ,apple sauce and gravy .
Drat!!! - only saw this this morning Peachy darlin’ - otherwise I’d have been there with my plate, knife and fork!!!
Made a minced beef and potato pie using loads of onions and pepper. Made some mashed potato with steamed cabbage and butter. By the way I saw a hint for making a good mash from the Barefoot Contessa ( I love her) you break up the potatos when they are cooked with a hand mixer then you warm butter and milk in the microwave and add that while you mix with the hand mixer. It was lovely no lumps and very creamy.
I recently saw another chef make mash like that, and that’s how my mum used to make it although, lacking a hand mixer, she used a wooden spoon. 
Tonight I’m having Wienerschnitzel and I’ll make my home-made creamy mushroom and mixed pepper sauce, with fried potatoes. 
I don’t have a hand mixer; just mash them thoroughly with a manual masher so there are absolutely NO lumps, then add butter and a bit of milk and stir with a spoon till well blended.
Tonight’s dinner: broiled crab cake, fresh spinach, potatoes rissole, ciabatta roll.
Yes, sorry, she had a hand masher, but then she’d finish them off with a spoon with butter and milk.
Yours sounds good, Eileen, but what sort of rissole will you be having? I’d have to do without the spinach though, I’m afraid. 
Little new potatoes, peeled and boiled, then browned in a frying pan with butter or olive oil till they’re nicely crusty all over.
Spinach has got to be my favorite vegetable, then cauliflower, sprouts and sweet corn.
I detest, abhor, loathe … broccoli!
A huge bacon roll and a cup of tea at the car boot sale this afternoon. Lovely! Getting my appetite back
We had a roast chicken dinner tonight and we’ve both decided that we’re going to go ‘semi-vegetarian’. For a while now, we’ve both had upset digestive systems after eating chicken (in any form). I love chicken and most meat, but it seems to disagree with me, especially pork! 
So we’re going to try the veggie route for a while. 
Good luck with the veggie diet, Carmen - I’ll be interested to hear how you get on with it.
I will Mags I sort of got used to being half veggie when my daughter was living at home (as she is a vegetarian).
I’m still going to eat fish, shellfish etc. - will just see how it goes. I do remember though, feeling a lot healthier by not eating so much meat.
I eat very little red meat, just Italian meatballs and an occasional burger, plus ham and bacon, but mostly eat fish, shellfish and chicken; no adverse affects. I would never consider giving up meat.
Welcome to the club Carmen :-D:-D

Are you a veggie? Oooh, that sounds rather rude 
…perhaps we can swap ideas.
What finally did it for me was last week we had a (what we thought) a nice joint of beef, costing around £8, it looked nice but when cooked and sliced into, there was a large piece of gristle inside and the meat was as tough as old boots!
ha ha yes I am a veggie have been so for at least 20 years I guess and have never looked back :)
These days there’s so many recipes on the internet which is great.
Hope it works out for you and would be happy to swap ideas etc. but have to admit to being quite a boring veggie and eat the same things all the time, mainly pulses. Perhaps you’ll inspire me to be more creative :)
