Last nights dinner was simple . Cous cous with chicken (yum without, and with a few of my adaptations on the recipe - adding roasted nuts, chilli and lots of black pepper), and a fritatta made with frozen veg. FInished cous cous and fritata for lunch today
Tonight i am having what I call a "Luke" sandwich - named after my friend who first made me it. 2 rounds toast , then couple of bits of bacon, top with a fried egg, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Top with red sauce if desired, and add other slice of toast.
Eat with a bib on.
Egg toasties are pretty good. Just crack the egg in, top with other slice and make as a normal sandwich. It kind of scrambles the egg.A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

Fried onions are the food of the gods. Who needs lobster thermidor when you have an onion and a bit of dripping?
Or fried potatoes and onion with a sausage or a bit of bacon:drool:0 -

) Since then Lakeland have started to do them. They work every time, perfect poached eggs;)

Hope this still comes under simple food (as it's a sort of merge of three simple meals) but we love
Cheese on Toast...with beans on top...with a fried egg (or 2) on top of that! Yum Yum!
We prefer Heinz Mean Beanz, but have started making our own adding curry and chilli powder to normal beans (you get the same effect).0
