Not keen on lettuce? @RosemaryJackson. Why not try rocket, chicory, lamb's lettuce, mustard cress, sweet cicely, water cress or baby spinach leaves instead?Morning all. Beautiful sunny day. Yesterday... 1 wholemeal roll with cheese and coleslaw at lunchtime; tea... roast chicken with veg and strawberries for afters. 2 coffees, one with a drop of Baileys. Today I have the rest of the chicken to make a quiche (without pastry) with spring onions, peppers, and cauli, broccoli and of course, eggs. I'll have that with salad. Not keen on lettuce but I quite like the curly type.N

Yes @DJC3. It's easy to make and there's nothing quite like the aroma that greets you when you open the oven door an hour later.
I hope you and your family enjoy Nordic bread as much as we do.

Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.

Thanks for posting this, i shall look out for it. I bet it would make a lovely crunchy topping for Greek yoghurt.

Today I had scrambled eggs sprinkled with dukkah and a sliced avocado for breakfast.
Lunch was a pack of olives - the only suitable thing in a cafe that sold 6 different types of pasty.
Dinner was grilled gammon steak with cauli cheese. The cheese sauce was the scooped out middle of a baked Camembert. It was so stinky it had been relegated to the garage 2 days ago but made a tasty cauliflower topper.

Chicory, watercress or rocket make a change from lettuce @RosemaryJackson. Then there are some lovely, easy-to-grow culinary herbs that transform shredded lettuce, as does a home-made, piquant salad dressing,.Not keen on lettuce but I quite like the curly type.

Today, on the hottest day of the year so far (in the UK), I had a chicken & mushroom curry, surrounded by a small ring of basmati rice. I made the curry yesterday. From scratch. No jars were harmed in the making of this curry. And while the recipe, that I loosely followed, didn't mention cinnamon, I was glad I put some in. It wasn't that hot, but I enjoyed it.

I often add a cinnamon stick or two to my cauliflower rice @IanBish together with some black cardamom seeds, if it's to be served with an Indian dish.
