Good morning!
Yesterday's food was nice enough but I did lose it late afternoon and evening, sadly. When will I learn?
One nice thing: M (the teenager who is cultivating Dad's veg patch and sharing the produce with him) turned up the other day and proudly presented Dad with a round courgette, like this one.
I decided to halve it, slice and fry one half and leave the other half for another day. I thought it was going to end up very watery and, indeed, a lot of liquid came out, but the flavour was actually very good. I sprinkled grated cheddar over the slices and that worked well - so that was my healthy extra As!
Today's plans:
B: overnight oats with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries
SW: one syn for the fruit yogurt
L: salad and cold meat; apple
What with my cucumber and Dad's tomatoes, a few of which are ready to pick, it should be a delicious lunch.
SW: one syn for some dressing
D: corn on the cob; chicken, veg and, probably, some rice
It's one good sized chicken breast between the two of us - I roast it wrapped in bacon and then slice it and it does go a long way. Dad is eager to finish off the last of the sliced yellow courgettes in his freezer as there's a couple of fresh ones that will be ready to pick in a few days so I will do them and add some grated cheese just because it's so very tasty!
The corn on the cob is also from last year's harvest.
SW: one or two healthy extra As for the cheese
Ss: water and fruit
Body Magic: a walk
I grew courgettes one year. A squirrel ate every bit of skin off them and left behind a patch of naked courgettes. We had sat for ages wondering what it was doing in the veg plot. We assumed it was hiding nuts and got quite a shock when we discovered what it had been doing.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - I've never known that before. Pesky thing!

Well, I never knew there was such a thing as a round courgette! Sorry to hear about the fail in the afternoon/evening. I know all about that.....so well, so often ��
ReplyDeleteIt happens. It happens too often when I'm at Dad's but there you go. Back on it again now and thank you.
DeleteI was surprised but obviously there is such a thing. M planted two so there will be loads if it's anything like the usual courgettes.
