Sorry to hear about the gathering tomorrow @Brie , hope there's lots of happy memories to share though.
Had a bit of a freezer dive tonight and heated up some LO roast potatoes from when we were getting lockdown roasts from the pub, also a bit of bread sauce from who knows when 🙈 which was had with some veg rescued from Olio and some roast chicken with was RTC and bought mainly for the cat...she eyeballed me as I had a few slices...prob plotting her revenge as I type.
Last night I had lamb shawarma in a wrap with salad.
Tonight I had cajun chicken and roast veg.
For pudding I made some keto chocolate ice cream which was beautiful! I have a little used ice cream maker as the barrel that needs to be frozen for 12 hours is huge and you have to lift a drawer out of the freezer to fit it in so as I had defrosted the freezer and wound down the contents I bit the bullet and made some and froze it. Can't see it lasting long though!
I went to a lovely PYO farm with my walking group this afternoon and think that I'm now at least 50% strawberry! I was so full when I got back that all I could manage was a pitta with some salad followed by a small bowl of the ripest strawbs that wouldn't last overnight in the fridge.

I made this recipe Strawberry, feta & thyme tart recipe | BBC Good Food for dinner and it was delicious. I ate it with salad with a balsamic and tahini dressing and chased it down with a pitta and homemade preserved lemon and walnut hummus. Now sitting bulging on the sofa sipping a coffee.

Thanks - it was a good get together. Since it was a work colleague and we've had a number of others who have moved out of our department and out of the company it turned into a bit of a reunion which made it rather jolly. That is what we had all hoped for and colleague's mom really appreciated talking to all of us. Too much hugging was going on of course for these strange times but it was also out doors so hopefully we're all ok.
And it was good and bad from a food point of view....loads of sandwiches - which I managed to avoid due to trying to no carb, some excellent chicken wings which were as always very difficult to eat, some skinny fries which I couldn't resist and some halloumi fries which I'd never had before but will be having again soon I hope. I'm hoping they can be considered as good for me...
Tonight OH has a fish pie and I've got a aubergine mozzarella bake courtesy of Sainsbugs.

@Brie glad the memorial day went well, and you got to have a bit of a reunion. I'm sure so long as no one was coughing into each others faces it will be fine.
Pasta last night and fish in the bag with rice tonight.
Having some work done on the house and everything is all over the place atm.
