More often than not, lunch is our main meal of the day. We find we sleep better at night following a light supper. Yesterday's menu included our favourite Sunday lunch-for-two whenever there is only my husband and myself to consider; baked whole sea bass, belly stuffed with garden herbs and garlic, drizzled with olive oil, accompanied by vegetables in season.

B: Two eggs scrambled in butter with a generous dollop of double cream, sautéed chestnut mushrooms and a tomato, garnished with chopped, flat-leaf parsley and seasoned with black pepper.

L: Aperitif: dry white wine
Melanzane alla parmigiana, (aka aubergine parmigiana) using aubergine slices without breading or flour, passata, mozzarella, parmesan, olive oil, oregano, and garlic.
I tossed some breadcrumbs with a little olive oil plus grated parmesan and sprinkled on top before baking. (That way, I could serve the topping to those who can handle breadcrumbs, but omit it from my own portion and finish with extra parmesan instead.) Basil, IMHO, works best torn on to the dish at the last minute.

Today:

My husband listened to the forecast and decided we would have 'gazpacho' weather today. (My better half seems to enjoy preparing gazpacho as long as we don't press him to make it too often). With English tomatoes at their best now, it sounded like an excellent plan. With another scorcher in prospect here, I made ceviche to avoid unwanted heat in my kitchen in the run-up to lunch.
