What's for dinner ( or lunch )

Cool today!

Wiener bean pot and a peach snack cup for lunch.

My wild Saturday night will be a Celeste personal pizza, TGI Buffalo wings, and an ice cold Diet Pepsi.

Plenty of leftovers for tomorrow.

New food on Monday! 😊

Are you eating differently during this enforced isolation period... are you eating less, or more. ?

Good questions!

To start we have no real "enforced isolation" here in Utah. Went to my wife's 50th reunion last night and out of several hundred people I saw maybe 3 wearing masks, and no noticeable effort at social distancing. So my answers may be different from others.

I am not eating much differently, at first I lost weight, but have regained a bit of it. I guess we are not going out to eat so often, but have not really thought about why. All restaurants are fully open here and have been except for a brief, maybe 4 to 6 week period when all this began.

One thing that has changed is the availability of some things. We often can a lot of our peaches and tomatoes, but this year canning equipment is in short supply, not sure why, I don't know how that makes sense. So we are not putting so much of our garden excess away this year. Prices of meat and a few other things have gone up.

My question was posed 18 months ago on March 2020.. when we all went into serious lockdown due to the onset of C-19... we're not in any kind of lockdown here either in September 2021... but we were in strict lockdown for over 9 months in total during the last 18 months.. and then semi lockdown for about 3 or 4 months...

During her teens, when something struck my daughter as particularly gross, she would give it her drawn out, Valley Girl type, "Ewwwww-ahh."
I'd say this qualifies for a double syllable version of eww.

lol..oddly Many Londoners particularly the young express themselves the same way.... for example an emphatic No would be pronounced Nooooo-aah

Now I see that, sorry for the late post. I'd still like some of that cod and asparagus though!

well plenty of that to be had, and last night I had Prawns & scallops with a cream & lobster & parsley sauce...


I just had a late brunch of a small English cooked breakfast..well it is Sunday and I don't have it often.:p. some Irish Potato cakes, Eggs, and bacon...
 
Today after I'd conducted a business meeting I went and had a coffee at Bebo.. and sat and people watched out of the window for about 15 minutes ... that was my breakfast/lunch...:D:coffee:

Tonight I had the rest of my Pizza which I'd had half of last night.. . Wood fired, Ham/Mushroom/Mascarpone cheese..

While I was eating that on the go... I was cooking a large portion of Minced beef with red onions, broccoli and peas..in a red wine and beef stock , ..and a boiling a large pan of Potatoes to make mash... so I could make a Portion big enough of Shepherds' Pie to be able to freeze enough portions for a week. Our Meat is set to go sky high in price in the next week or 2...

Now I've transferred the portions into 2 large dishes they're in the oven baking now... I'll cool them over night ( it's 8.30pm here)... and portion them up for the freezer in the morning
