Recovering from a bout of norovirus so eating carefully

Breakfast - nothing
Lunch - broke my no wheat rule and had a soft bread chicken sandwich - needed somethign easy and workmen were at the house
Snack - punnet fo raspberries
Evening meal - 3 small sausages, roast sweet potato, mushrooms, kale
 
09.15 and nothing yet - I'm fed up with omelettes, but there's little alternative from what I see in my 'fridge today, however, I do spy one small rasher of bacon! I will try and resist the few remaining slices of rye bread.
Lunch will almost certainly be, as it was yesterday, a salad with some ham, olives and cheese and my evening meal will consist of whatever my wife churns out, with me avoiding the pasta or rice or bread products or sauces or potatoes etc., etc., ad nauseam

My daugher in law is Thai and we have a great time of it with her teaching me recipes. Sometimes the simplest things can be so good:
Thai style omlette:
couple of eggs and one desert spoon of soy sauce per egg - beat.
Crumble in some pork mince, breaking up with a fork until no big lumps (not sure how much just see what it looks like).
Add oil to pan and pour in - don't fiddle with it, just let it cook.

We had that with stir fried vegetables: broccoli, spring onions, bok choi and flavoured with garlic, ginger, chilli and a splodge of soy sauce.
