    More damp and grey but no heating on for most of the day.

    Another mini pizza for lunch, this time using an English muffin, ham, mozzarella and sweetcorn. Had with a bit of salad and the end of the coleslaw.

    Tuna steak with Mediterranean lentils, spinach and sun dried tomatoes tonight.

    It's been a horrid wet day here, heavy rain for most of it ☔️ 

    I decided against staying indoors and drove out to The Range for a couple of bits and popped into Tescos next door for a lovely cauliflower (I think it was Farway who mentioned them) leeks because I forgot them and a red pepper as Ocardo don't sale individual ones.  Some YS tandoori chicken fell into the bag 🙂 Home via my sisters house where I stole back my small food processor and left her some books.  So much water on the roads. 

    By the time I got home from Tesco I had received a email with recipe ideas for cauliflower and leek recipes! 

    Tandoori chicken with salad for lunch.  Rest of the chicken with rice and tomato salad for dinner.

    Good morning everyone, 
    Yesterday turned into a lovely sunny Autumn day, shame it's back to damp gloom this morning!
    I too bought a cauliflower and leeks this week, one of the leeks and some of the cauliflower got used in my smoked fish dish of Friday. Some of the cauli went into Saturday's curry and I'm thinking probably soup with the rest. 
    I had a lovely catch up with my friend and then my sister popped over late afternoon so I didn't get much done on the domestic front, There's a few bits I want to tackle today as well as prepping tomorrow's dinner as I have an evening meeting. I also want to mop through as we didn't get that done on Sunday. If I have time I might make as pot of soup as the HM freezer stocks are running low.
    Fridge bits or soup for lunch and tonight it's JO's sweet and sour pork with peaches which we'll have with rice and steamed veg.

    Had the same heavy rain here over the border, but hope you've got some sun now like me.

    Ever since I mentioned caulis I've been looking out for another decent one, without much luck. Don't want to order on line because that has always failed to produce a decent one. I need to see before buying now

    Lunch, tin of soup I think, try the on offer C===kaleekie
    Dinner, last of the smoked mackerel fillets, with new spuds & salad

    Asda delivery tomorrow, so can start over
