Lunch should have its own thread

[sojourner]

We are a bit hit and miss with leftovers I do try, sometimes I pick all the good bits from the leftovers overnight and then don't want the rest the next day.

Anything that doesn't get eaten next day gets frozen in our house. I have a pathological aversion to wasting food, thanks to my childhood! If it ever happens, which it has recently due to brexit delays/rotting fruit, I feel terrible catholic guilt, and I'm not even catholic.

I post about leftovers sometimes, but it is usually more the case that I have planned something to be x number of portions or last for y number of days.

Leftovers sounds a little accidental, what happens is more like deliberate budgeting/planning.

Leftover veggie saussie and green lentils with buttered crushed baby spuds.

Easy peeler.

Tomato soup on top of a pile of chips.

Reheated brown stew and rice I cooked on Sunday night. I do like working at home for somethings.

I love being able to cook at lunchtime WFH

I eat so much better, snack less and still save money.

I'm dreading a message to say we have to go back. I don't think any of us do, so hopefully there is room for negotiation.

This, not only will it be a massive commute, its gonna cost about £300 each month to do it. I have proved I can do my work from home, so hopefully it will be ok.

sojourner I was thinking about the leftovers thing last night. Now we don't have a dog all the little scraps that I cant reuse go into the bin (we don't have compost bins in this county) and yeah it makes me cross, need a dog clearly. All bread products go outside to feed the small garden birds but mainly the seagulls scoff it all

Lunch today is tomato soup and cheese toasties all round.

I made an Egyptian lentil soup last night, meaning it for tea tonight, but it smelled so good I've brought some in for my lunch. I'll make something else for tea.

Easy peeler x 2.

Subway for me today. I don't normally eat it, but I'm on a site visit, it's close and I can put it on expenses.

Had some folk round so made a bit more effort. Sweet potato fries, tabular and a greek salad with a bit of quiche. Went down well.

 

[danny la rouge]

tabular.

Tabbouleh? I was making this a lot during lockdown 1, but got out of the habit. You’ve reminded me that it’s a good thing.

Yes. Definitely that one!

Bulgar wheat is great, when ever I make I think I should eat it more. Need more parsley next time, used the whole bag, but still not enough.

 

[sojourner]

Fried halloumi, tomato salad, rocket and iceberg salad.

Black grapes.
