OOooh I want to do a BBQ tomorrow now then complain I can't go to MIL's and eat Pizza Monday morning with some gummies and go lounge in the sun. Not checking weather as I now expect rain for two days.

I must get some tortellini, I love the stuff (can not be arsed to make my own however, when it's a lot of faff and typically not expensive to buy).
Not had it for ages, must sort that next week. I tend to go for either the spinach and ricotta, or mushroom varieties, and certainly agree that a simple garlicy tomato sauce is excellent with it. Or green pesto.
Added it to shopping list, ta for reminding me I've not had it in a while!

Sadly, that's probably true. I don't know any youngsters that eat liver. More fool them really.
Actually that's reminded me - a couple of weeks ago I was chatting with one of my younger volunteering colleagues, he always likes to tell me what he is having for lunch and what his mum is cooking for tea.
The other week it was "liver and onions tonight, one of my favourites" - he's 22.
So not just for oldies

I have eaten so much today! Went out for lunch early and had a chorizo and mozzarella panini and a pint. Then I was still out with my mate at 6ish so we decided to find somewhere for dinner. Everywhere was busy so ended up at pizza express. Didn’t fancy pizza so we shared loads of starters/sides. Bruschetta, baked mushrooms, salad, halloumi etc and an aperol spritz. It was really good but now I can’t breathe!

I'm supposed to be going to a barbecue tonight (although not 100% sure I feel like going, I've been quite depressed this week and unsure I can face socialising - although it might cheer me up a bit!)
So I'll take some sausages to cook and hope I don't get food poisoning, have some hot dog buns to put them in, also made some potato salad.

It's always hard to know, isn't it, whether socialising is going to make you feel better or worse when you're a bit vulnerable.
More than one? One per person?

I had planned a lovely chicken and mushroom pie (from the lady at the farmers' market) with roast potatoes and spring greens. However I feel absolutely vile with the balance disorder and couldn't face either cooking or eating it. Fortunately I foresaw that eventuality earlier in the day and made a vat of coleslaw, so I had half a mini baguette with polish sausage, gruyere and sliced gherkin, with coleslaw.
I put fennel in the coleslaw which I think was a waste as it's undetectable. What is not undetectable is the half an onion I put in, which I don't normally and this is why
I seem to feel better earlier in the day at the moment so perhaps I'll have the pie for lunch tomorrow.

One big one has been eaten and tbere is another one...waiting in the wings.
- with new potatoes and aubergine parmagiana. Ridiculously delicious and now lamb leftovers for days 
Easter Sunday roast of roast potatoes, roast parsnips, steamed carrots, steamed tenderstem broccoli, Yorkshires and "chick'n" and gravy. Was delicious.
B/f had somehow fixated on the idea that he'd like to have a Thai green curry alongside it, so he made that, too. A surprising and surprisingly winning combination.
Little pots of gooseberry fool for afters.

Definitely! I decided to go in the end, it was walking distance from home and I reasoned that I could easily leave at any time if it wasn't doing it for me.
I had fun though, in a quiet sort of keeping to myself and just listening to other people talking and left fairly early, so I am glad I made the effort rather than spending another evening sitting at home by myself.
Slight change of plan on dinner though, they'd provided veggie and vegan food so I had a lovely daal, sweet potato and spinach curry with bread, roast baby spuds, roast parsnips and beetroot, and a potato salad - all very nice indeed.
I do hope you feel better soon, I get ear related issues sometimes that involve vertigo and it can be very debilitating (might not be the same but similar type of effect on day to day stuff) - especially if you're still reliant on a 2 wheeler for getting out and about. Much love and best wishes.

just worked out taglines
Massive boozy lunch, roast chicken and potatoes, my tomato’s and peppers, I’d also marinated anchovies which were delicious. Broad beans, pea and feta salad, pavlova for dessert

Epona Yes, I am still reliant on two wheels, which makes this whole ongoing saga particularly problematic. Actually my functional balance is fine, I'm not going to fall off; it's more like feeling car sick constantly for no good reason. But you have to be feeling in reasonably good shape to get on a bike, powered or not.
Glad you had a good evening.

I understand that, there have been periods of time where I couldn't go to visit anyone, they had to come to me because any form of transport or moving at above about 10 mph was massively nauseating, and everything swinging round and round and feeling sick and just having to lie down.
Incredibly limiting in terms of what you can do.
I had it a few times over my life usually after viruses - since the whole Covid thing which I had twice and that vertigo was very bad during and in the aftermath of each bout of Covid but now comes and goes more frequently - like there's some ongoing thing that hasn't properly recovered. At its worst I can just about cope with walking around in my flat.
I don't know if it is linked but I had glandular fever when I was young and that left me with some ongoing fatigue and vertigo issues too. It does feel a bit similar to the after effects of that in some ways, or that Covid has added to previous problems.

worked it out now!
Tonight should be Sri Lankan style chickpea & pineapple curry. Never had it before.
Last night was 3 bean chilli & skinny fries topped with chopped green chilli in a red wine vinegar.
