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!"Remember that many of the things you have now you could once only dream of" - Epicurus0 -
