"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

Skipped breakfast
Ended up getting to Heathrow 3 hours early so had a chicken and bacon salad with a glass of wine to pass the time.
Had some unexpected but very pleasant food ( bites of salmon and beef, and a scone with clotted cream) on the plane so not very hungry in the evening.
Had a walk around town then had a glass of wine in a bar
And cheese and ham roll ups when back in the hotel room.
We move to a house tomorrow so more chance of hm lc eating.
We will be looking after 2 young cats for a week.

They made it to the ferry with half an hour to spare. Just - 22.30 arrived home. Alistair sounds very tired on the phone. Still - home safe and sound. I daresay Hugo was over the moon to see them again.

I needed something substantial this morning so made 2 dropped scones (not sweetened) and 2 fried eggs for breakfast.

2nd meal will be chicken - I asked Neil to buy chicken legs (2 in a pack usually) but he couldn't get that so came back with a packed of about 10 each of drumsticks and thighs. They will go out of date today so I'll have to do something with them. Thinking tandoori chicken, in the oven. Eat some/freeze some. Better get it in to marinate pretty soon.

Alistair just phoned from Aberdeen. They have had some fun with flights but at least are now back in Scotland - just - and have to make their way to Inverness to pick up their car before driving to Ullapool for the afternoon ferry. They should have time, as long as the car has enough charge to get to Ullapool.

Apparently, on the way out from Inverness last week, the pilot came over the Tannoy to announce that there was a problem with the on-flight computer and engineers had suggested turning it off and turning it back on to fix it, so power was being cut to the cabin. Ten minutes later, it all came back on again and the pilot was happy to take off. A bit disconcerting to my mind. However, they got to their destination and have had a good week there. Coming back, they changed planes at Schipol but in the air, the plane developed a fault and they had to go back to Amsterdam. After a bit of a hassle with airport staff they were given a hotel for a few hours and a flight to Aberdeen early this morning, instead of Inverness. Fingers crossed that they make it to the ferry.

Wow amazing boat hope your week sailing goes well and weather good.

A beautiful craft @Antje77. No wonder artists are inspired to draw, paint and photograph sailing ships.

Oh no you mentioned Christmas! I was in Birmingham for day yesterday and was horrified how many shops were playing Christmas music the German Christmas market starts on 1st of November but I thought tunes too early!
Btw went to Dishoom yesterday and had a few wonderful lunch although it should have been an expensive meal as I was treating 5 people because of family birthdays. However I was given some sort of key ring token when I was there for my summer birthday. The token allows you to roll a dice once after the meal - to see if you roll a six and amazingly I did! It meant the whole bill meal and drinks was on the house it felt like winning the lottery.

What a wonderful surprise.

Well you could get a long lie in in the morning, with the clocks going back. I would make that nightcap a double if it were me. Cheers!

Breakfast: salmon mayo with a couple of RyVita.

2nd meal should have been beef in a spicy coconut sauce, but Neil couldn't get coconut milk this week so will have to think of a different spicy sauce to go with it. Maybe look further east than India and make a Chinese style flavoured dish. It will have to be slow cooked though because it's braising steak.
