B: pancakes with chocolate sauce
L: tuna salad at a local cafe, with a slice of lemon and poppyseed baked cheesecake, which I had in my bag which they didn't mind plating up for me whilst my friend had a slice of their carrot cake
D: beef chilli with cheese and sour cream
That's interesting. I never thought of taking my own food and combining it with suitable cafe food with their permission. As long as you contribute something to their income that seems fair.

How much buckwheat can you tolerate? I make sauces and gravy with it. It's cheaper than other ground stuff!
And what are you cooking on?

B: chia seeds and stuff with rasps.... still got some fresh.
L: cold chicken celery olives, bit of cheese and a load of sauerkraut...
D: loads of haddock covered in almond flour, broccoli and yet more sauerkraut.... and then some cherries.... may have overdone them..... off to do BG's soon to find out.

I suspect one day I might tire of chia seeds-coffee-cocoa-peanut butter but at the moment I'm finding it just the ******** first thing in the morning, which is (i) surprising to me and (ii) doesn't give anything else a look in....
nothing is forever though.
