Hello
B. Red berries with cream

L. Out at garden centre. I ordered salmon with a sauce and seasonal vegetables. I asked for no potatoes . The meal arrived with a large portion of mashed potato. I asked the waitress if they could remove the potato as I had asked for no potatoes. She returned with the plate on which was sitting a very large Yorkshire pudding! "They've put a Yorkshire on for you instead of the potato", she said. I just thanked her and left the Yorkshire. Is it my week to be tormented by the Yorkshire pud! Lol lol :)

D. Will be cheese and olives :)
 
@mo53 - I love the idea of being tormented by Yorkshire puds - it has really made me laugh out load :) :)
 
Saturday
B. Black Tea (I too was heading to Dobbies Garden centre after swimming for the annual Santa visit)
L. Roast turkey, couple of chipolatas, gravy , parsnip, carrot and a load of sprouts. No potato - they listened - but yes a flaming Yorkshire pudding appeared.
Coffee
D. M&S smokehouse chicken , Lidl's German sausage with peppers and chicken with maple syrup, Ox tongue and roast pork (got the girl to cut it thin so I could have a mix). Lettuce, 1/2 Avocado, 3 cherry tomatoes, 6 almonds and a boiled egg.
Black Tea and mixed berries.
What is it with Garden Centres and Yorkshire puddings!
