Roast beef today.
I’ve not that long had breakfast so dinner tonight is not exactly foremost in my thoughts. However, as dinner was planned yesterday I do know it will be cold chicken with salad followed by a yoghurt. That’s my contribution to trying to lose the weight gained during lockdown. I’ve done this before and lost 10kg so will do it again, somehow! 
Lunch today was the same as yesterday - roast ham and beetroot on buns, crisps and a Jazz apple for afters. Dinner tonight will be coq au vin with roast potatoes.
Lunch: Fish ‘Pie’ (salmon, parsley sauce, mash, cheese)
Cherries & ice-cream (first time I’ve had ice-cream in two years)
Roquefort
Very nice … we had guests.
Dinner: scrambled egg, toast.
A touch of class for dinner today, 
Birdseye Chicken Chargrills, Aunt Bessie’s oven chips and baked beans. Flavoured up with Laoganma Crispy Chilli.
Lamb steaks today in mint gravy with mash, baby carrots and beans, followed by fresh raspberries with coconut yoghurt, yum yum… 
just had lunch…some fruit and yoghurt
tonight for dinner we’re having an Indian takeaway, now i’m off to sit in the garden
Lunch bacon, eggs, and tomatoes - dry fried - bread and butter.
Dinner will be smoked haddock, ratatouille, new potatoes.
Now that does look really tasty! t’s a long time since I’ve had a meal like that
and it was once a favourite of mine!
How far away do you live, I’ll be round in time to partake? 
Oh dear, just checked your location and it’s just a little too far for me! 
Enjoy it anyway!
We have lunch at noon as our main meal, then just a light tea of fruit and maybe some cheese and crackers at 5pm and nothing else until a good breakfast at 6am. I have no idea how people eat a huge meal in the evenings and then sleep on it, surely can’t be healthy, can it?.. 
That’s proper grub Omah, real scrummy…
Actually, you are right, it is not good for anyone and is known for contributing to putting on weight.
The problem is that the energy from that food is not used, it just lies there doing nothing other than making fat. I find it’s a problem after always eating a big meal at that time, well at least for a couple of decades of night shifts, it’s a very difficult habit to change.
I knew a lady who waited until almost 8pm to eat her main meal. She said it was the proper thing to do and it stopped her from snacking. Fair enough on the snacking, perhaps, but I really can’t see the “properness” of eating so late in the evening. The body starts slowing down preparing to sleep, so…
Yes, exactly that. We should ideally follow what our ancestors used to do and which animals do. We sleep as it gets dark, waking as it gets light and then our ancestors used to go out and hunt for their food, using energy and obviously when they caught whatever it was, probably cooked and ate it, no preservatives and no supermarkets where the only energy expended is to walk round the store choosing our food!. To eat as close to nature is the best way, nothing added, nothing taken away – organic food as it should be.
The problem with working shifts is that meals are also moved around, no time other than around 18.00 hrs to have the main meal of the day if working all night and sleeping all day. The only thing that didn’t change for me was breakfast, that was always welcome after a shift, then it was eight hours or so to sleep. Nothing like nature intended but the work was what governed the working hours required.
I worked shifts at one time Baz and yes, eating and sleeping is so unnatural particularly when the shift changed because your body didn’t have time to adapt properly before the shift changed again…
Had a quick McD double cheeseburger from the saver menu for lunch in London’s smallest, got a seat too.
Supper was chicken curry, made earlier, defrosted, and half a tin of chickpeas added, very nice.
Been watching ‘Thrifty Cooking in the Doctor’s Kitchen’ on iplayer … he makes all sorts of wonderful dishes … ideas for things to do with half a tin of chickpeas.
