@Former-Member @Shaz51 @clairesy @soul
am sitting here struggling trying to remember what we had for dinner last night
oh yes was ordinary probably why I forgot
veal tortellini
husband didnt get home from work untill 6.45pm. I was annoyed that he didnt ring to reassure me that all was ok......my thoughts tend to think the worse at the moment
tonight have fresh salmon pieces so am thinking linguine with salmon and capers or anchovies which ever i have in the fridge
have asked if we can eat out ... husband at golf .. we are visiting mum in nursing home tomorrow so suggestion was tomorrow night on way home as is hour drive.
congratulations to you all doing well and yes clairesy we had a private chat about the slip up so dont tell them about the chocolate!

cook linguine or fusilli or your favourite pasta. Fresh is best if can get
lightly fry salmon with anchovies and cherry tomatoes in a lilttle virgin olive oil until turns white
Drain pasta and mix with salmon etc don't forget to serve with a nice glass of wine I usually drink alcohol removed white wine at home

Yes we're going to stop at country pub in hills not far from us but when we got there event on for Anzac
so we went to one of pubs where we live. I had kangaroo haven't had for years was in plum sauce. Didn't like. I usually have vegetarian or seafood. Oh well saved cooking. What did you have when you over indulged?
how are everyone else managing with self care?
