Brunch was a 3 egg omelette made with cream cheese. The filling was chorizo, spring onions and a mix of cheddar & mozzarella.
Mid afternoon I had my first ever avocado. Delicious! I just squeezed over a little lemon juice and ate it with a spoon. I'll be having more of them for sure!
Evening meal was sea bass fried in butter with side salad.

Just under 1400 calories the lot, 17g carb and I'm stuffed!
Ah welcome to the avocado club! Do give them a try baked and stuffed - very tasty!

Hello everybody:)
B. Raspberries and 2 tiny slices Sukrin bread with butter

L. 2 rashers bacon, a sausage, a fried egg, half a tomato and mushrooms.

D. Roast chicken thighs with mushrooms, onion and a courgette cooked in olive oil in oven. :)

I wouldn't usually have two cooked meals but I have walked most of the afternoon as I went to see the village scarecrow display at Muston which was brilliant.
Surely it's too early in the year for scarecrow displays? Thought they happened around harvest time?!

Stuffed with what? I can't decide if it's sweet or savoury
I always go savoury having tried chocolate mousse made with avocado and finding it not very pleasant! Give it a try though, you may like it! Try stuffing with tuna mayo, olives and spring onions and top with mozzarella, or cooked bacon and brie. Think of it like a jacket potato and try the sorts of things you would put on top of that.

B: 1 slice of Ugg bread with scrambled egg and mushrooms
L: 2 slices of Ugg bread with duck and orange pate
D: portabello mushroom stuffed with tuna mayo and mozzarella, rocket, red pepper and avocado salad. Breadless pudding cooked with strawberries (blueberries work better - cooked strawberries go rather watery).

@Mongolia . They have it the scarecrow display for a week each summer. The whole village joins in. Brilliant!

@GeoffersTaylor . Try peeling the avocado and cutting pieces off and then add prawn cocktail or salmon and mayonnaise. :)

B: Smoked mackerel, tomato & scrambled egg
L: Home-made soup (ie stuff that needed using up) inc onion, pepper, chilli, ginger, courgette, leftover beetroot soup, water from soaking sundried tomatoes in and, er, that's it. Standby cheddar and almond flour biscuit in case it was inedible. Seemed ok though.
D: Quarter roast chicken (for 2) with mixed salad and the last allotment potato, 3 bits for her and 2 for me with butter.
S: One not-quite-ripe greengage from our tree as a test. Before 5.8, 30 mins 6.4, 1 hr 6.8, 2 hrs 5.8. Not worth it, I'm afraid. Mrs DeeJay will have to eat the lot.

Hi @liam1955 I'm not sure what your question means. Please clarify so that we can give you some advice.

Hi @lizdeluz crumble sounds lovely. How did you make this?

I buttered an individual baking dish. Went and picked blackcurrants from the garden, washed them and removed the stalks but left on the other ends. Put them in the dish. Covered them with ground almonds. Put pieces of salted butter on the top, then a sprinkling of flaked almonds and ground cinnamon. Baked in a hottish oven, (180-200) for about 10-15 mins, left to cool a bit and served with double cream.
This is an easy dessert. When I've no home grown fruit, I use frozen berries.
