[Siouxsie]

[Siouxsie]

Yesterday I had mooli paratha and masala tea, then a coffee and seedy cookie at a cafe.

Today my OH is at home, decorating, so I think a chippy lunch <3

 

[Siouxsie]

Leek and potato soup with garlic croutons. Cup of tea. 3 fig rolls, peach.

 

[Hellsbells]

I've got a sore throat so have totally gone off my food Managed (with some hard work) 1 piece of bread and a hard boiled egg. And just now I tried a small piece of delicious looking coffee and walnut cake in the office kitchen and ended up throwing most of it in the bin

 

[iona]

Chicken, chickpea and spinach curry with a spoonful of yoghurt stirred in, with rice and salad. Two cups of tea.

Having/had the same all week, except for Monday when I had salmon and a load of stirfried veg with garlic, ginger and soy sauce.

I bought this stuff in a jar called coconut sambar. You're meant to heat it up and have it with rice or dosa/idli etc. It's very fucking spicy, like injury-inducingly, but really, really delicious and addictive. So some of that on its own in a bowl, followed by the last of my birthday cake (walnut and caramel).

 

[Thimble Queen]

Ham and mushroom pizza and fizzy orange.
