    @Islandmaid
    Hope all is well today.

    We had some spicy sausages with potato salad.  OH also had coleslaw which he wasn't very good about passing along.

    So sorry for your loss @Islandmaid. Absolutely stunning photo and looking at it just makes you feel at peace x

    Last night we had baby potatoes, sliced up put in milk and a little butter and microwaved. Until they were nearly cooked, added in some parmesan, popped them in an ovenproof dish and topped with a little grated cheese. Baked for 25 mins) Absolutely delicious.
    I had tuna (baked with the potatoes) husband had beef bourguignon from freezer and we had spring greens, tender stem broccoli, green beans and baby sweet corn.

    Thanks all, I’m okay - family arriving tomorrow so we’ll celebrate his life then x and @JIL it is a stunning area they retired there from Calgary 15 years ago and loved everything about Lunenburg. He’ll be greatly missed, but lived a full life with no regrets, which is the most we can all hope for x 

    dinner tonight is a sort of Coq au Riesling, will shove it in the slow cooker.

    edit - scratch that, DH came home in agony with toothache, thankfully our wonderful dentist squeezed him in and sorted it - he looks like the marshmallow man at the moment, so I’ll fridge forage and he’ll sip water 😱

    DH tooth (or lack of one as it’s gone) is healing well, so Coq au Riesling will appear tonight.

    vegan son has returned home, so ‘not chicken’ Kiev's for him with salad and new potatoes
