FARWAY , you can roast the cauli leaves in the air fryer, with chilli oil n garlic salt. They're amazingly good! 😉

Thanks for delurking threepenny 👋

thanks for the tip on air frying the cauliflower leaves Candy I had never thought of doing that, next one I'll give it a try.  So is the air fryer for you Caronc or your son   

Farway my sister sent me photos from her walk this morning of bluebells and wild garlic in the woods, just taken from the road.  We are lucky that it's only a short walk for both of us to the countryside just unfortunate we can't do it together at the moment but one I may do on Saturday  

lunch today was rice and vegetable stuffed portobello mushroom and beef tomato with mozzarella melted on top, very nice and another portion for tomorrow 🙂 followed by fresh berries.  Dinner was cba egg on toast followed by rhubarb and strawberries

Oh how I wish we had some flowers here in Alberta - the snow has been melting the past 2 days and hoping that Spring is starting. Nothing green to look at yet and  certainly no flowers.

Worked through the HM Bolognese sauce over a few days (+cheddar, +sweetcorn, +chipotle paste or green pesto).

Yesterday: Defrosted a YS quiche Lorraine (+cheddar), ate with roasted red onion, chestnut mushrooms, purple broccoli, tomato ketchup.

Today: Three packs YS lightly dusted basa fillets (ASC) in the freezer, so the oldest is on the hitlist. Need bits for a salad.

Tomorrow: ASDA 'click & collect' order. Hard to meet min. spend when you are CFO, staples are out of stock or capped purchase. Cannot get a delivery slot for Morries which is more important (cat food). Since I will buy a bus pass for A's so there is no excuse to try M's. Oh joy.

Thanks for the thought, however two of the ingredients are on my avoid at all cost list   There was plenty of cauli once it was trimmed & cooked, so some LO cauli cheese for maybe a nuked hot lunch?

I bet that looked nice, blue & white.

There is a scrubby patch of woodland within walking distance of me which has bluebells intermingled with old bike wheels & glue sniffer's crisp packets, just doesn't have the same picture postcard touch somehow but ideal for the type of photography depicting life as is, the bleak black & white images  

Sunny day ahead, nothing planned but this bluebell photography may niggle away, who knows

Lunch will be another cheese & salady sarnie

Dinner, I've taken a salmon fillet out to defrost, so fry that in butter & olive oil, with HM AF chips & salad.

You don't eat garlic and chilli Farway? OMG, I love both.

I had houmous and cucumber on toast with tea this morning.

I now might make garlic bread to go in my HM tomato soup at lunchtime.

Good afternoon everyone
Brambling the air fryer is for my son but it will give me a chance to see if I do want one😉. However, it's not here yet, the parcel he delivered yesterday was PS4 game that he forgotten he'd ordered at the same time lol!
I'd be lost with garlic and chilli especially garlic though I do sometimes think I have a bad habit of adding it to things rather than thinking about what else I could use! That said yesterday's chicken marinade of garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme and hot paprika was really tasty! 
It's another lovely day here, cold first thing but lovely now as long as you are out of the stiff breeze which is on the chilly side. After my snooze I plan to get weedkiller down on the slabs as they are beginning to be unsightly! This morning was many spent online doing admin stuff, I got what I needed to done and the rest can wait until tomorrow or the weekend.
I've a couple of cod portions defrosting for dinner which I'll bake topped with pesto and baby tomatoes. We're going to have these with steamed baby spuds, purple sprouting broccoli, asparagus and green beans. Lunch was a cheese and ham salad bowl.

Well i did think there was nothing easier than a Greggs pasty yesterday to suit my floozy mood (thats my version of food and lazy together hence floozy) anyway I was wrong the damm thing split in the oven so 20 mins later it was empty   

Floozy mode again today ........need to sort that out but for today it has been nothing so far so my answer to that has to be a brekky for later. Thinking bacon egg mushrooms beans and toast will hit the spot lets see if I can ruin that lol.....I did used to be good cook honest
