Yesterday's breakfast omelette was nice but I didn't take a photo as you've seen it plenty of times before.

Lunch was a right mouthful and I'm glad I decided not to add coleslaw or a side salad as I was totally full without anything extra.  The tomatoes wouldn't stay on so I just put them to the side.  Not a pretty thing but it was jolly tasty.

The easiest fish pie ever.  I suppose it could have done with some colour but it was jolly nice and I'm pleased there's another half leftover for today's lunch.

I had a little bit of uncooked white fish thawed (I think it is pollack) and half a can of drained tuna.  I gently fried some thinly sliced onion with stray oil, added quartered button mushrooms, some garlic granules and mustard powder, then added 75g philly lightest to slowly melt.  Finally in went the raw fish and the tuna with some leftover peas, some parsley and a bit of seasoning.
That was the underneath.
The topping was some mashed potato to which I added 60g grated cheddar (I was feeling cheesy!) and one egg yolk which all got mixed in with a bit of black pepper and a very little salt (not much as the cheese is seasoned).  That spread on the top and I baked it in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, first at 180C and then up to 200 to brown the top properly.
Very little effort and today's lunch is also sorted out, halving the syns and the heA for each portion.

Today's food plans are:
B:  marmite on toast, fruit
This is a big favourite and I will crack open a pat of butter to go with it.
SW:  one heB and three syns

L: Leftover fish pie, roasted tomatoes; apple
SW:  one heA, one and a half syns.  I think that's about it.

D:  roast chicken with all the trimmings, roasted root veg, carrots; sort of Eton Mess
When I was in Aldi yesterday, getting some more skinny sausages, there were some very nice looking free range chickens so I treated myself to one - because it's bank holiday weekend, you know.  Any excuse!  I'll slow roast it this afternoon in my nice enamel roaster and it will do me for meals through the week too.  I won't do roast potatoes but I will have roasted celeriac, parsnips, carrot and sweet potato because they all need using up now and save what's left of that for another day.  I'll have one skinny sausage made into stuffing with a bit of bread from my heB, some onion and some sage from the garden and the other with some bacon round to make a pig in a blanket.  I'll skip the gravy because I'm fine without, but I will use some frozen cranberries, an eating apple and a bit of demerara sugar to make a sauce.
It will be tasty!
The 'sort of' dessert is strawberries folded into natural yogurt and I will scrunch a home made meringue on the top (free because made with stevia, not real sugar, not as nice but better when eaten in something rather than on it's own).
SW:  two skinny sausages will be one syn, one tsp of sugar is one syn (I'll top up the sweetness with stevia, if needed), I'd better count half a syn for stevia because I think that in total I will be having more than one tbsp and that's the rool!

S:  fresh fruit

BM: weeding down the allotment and also the front strip at home

Summary:
one heA and one heB
seven syns
