    Short one for me this week as I'm off on a biz trip on Tuesday. Until then as follows:

    Today - out to a restaurant for dinner with neighbours
    Fri - spinach souffle and salad
    Sat - friends over for dinner: grilled lamb chops on spicy apricot couscous, pea & lentil side dish, salad, rhubarb sponge for pudding.
    Sun - grilled salmon with anchovy dressing, pea & barley orzotto, salad.
    Mon - organic veal ragout

    After that, DH will have to dig into the freezer (I'll leave him a list, there is plenty of choice of 'leftover meals') Meanwhile I will be living off hotel/restaurant food in Bucharest..... this is not as nice as you might think.
    Have a good week!
