Yesterday's leftovers Washed down with

Cold weather food Kev. Yesterday I had the last two servings of the last batch and for tea I had a chunky breaded cod fillet with processed peas just for a change! I cooked my next batch of veggies and this morning I shall cut up a nice slab of pork belly and get it going in the slow cooker with tomatoes and spices.......

For the last two days I find I have quite naturally missed one of my normal three helpings of meat and veggies. Not planned or intended, it just happened. This does not worry me at all!

I had fish chips and peas for breakfast and dinner. At teatime, once again, I didn't feel hungry so only had a very small helping of veggies.

I seem to be in a phase where I am eating less. This is good, it doesn't worry me at all! So three small helpings of chicken and veggies yesterday.

Once again, three small helpings of chicken and veggies..... It's making a difference! I can bend down to put my socks on easier than before!

A cauldron of beef stew should keep us going for a couple more days. It's a new batch, smoked lardons, braising steak, carrot swede, celery, onions, parsnips, a couple of chillies, a bulb of garlic, peas, salt and pepper, Italian mixed herbs and a tin of mixed beans. Had it with dumplings this evening for tea

That's the way to eat warming winter food cheap! Well done Kev!
I had three small helpings again. I might as well take advantage of the fact I am not hungry while this phase lasts. And no, it doesn't worry me, it's natural if I'm not going for walks and having dad naps at dinnertime!

Three small helpings again...... This begins to look like the new normal....
I fried my sweet potato chips yesterday.

Defrosted a pot of chilli. Baked jacket spuds in the air fryer, after 10 minutes in the microwave. Made a good lunch with some grated cheese on top. Fish finger bun for tea.

I defrosted some stewing beef and onions that I did in the slow cooker last week, boiled a diced potato, mixed with the beef, made some short crust pastry for a lid and baked it in the air fryer. Half of the pie and some mushy peas and a bit of gravy for tea. Have a portion spare for tomorrow.

Three small helpings..... I am reminded how much I like sprouts!

Another low consumption day with absolutely no effort from me. I am not at all worried!

Three small helpings of meat and veggies.... This batch has settled in extremely well and the flavours of the veggies are lovely.

Three hot meals again.....

I'm still on very small helpings. Must be some sort of phase I am going through. In terms of weight loss it's very minimal which is a good thing, it's slow weight loss like that which lasts!

Nando's sharing platter and Portuguese custard pie

Was it obligatory to eat all three custard pies?
Looks good enough to eat. I had three small helpings again.....

There were four but they are only 'bitesize"

I am getting the veggies into a corner. Cooking day today!

Back to basics -

Ooh! Steak and kidney?

I do miss steak and kidney puds David but I find I function much better without any form of pastry or bread.....
Yesterday I had the last three helpings of the last batch of veggies as I cooked the new one. Today I shall be into fresh chicken and veggies.....
I looked at the news about fears of bad meat being imported and reflected that, eccentric though I might be, my method of cooking my own fresh veggies and meat from a butcher who buys in local markets and from local farmers could be the way to ensure food safety.

Three helpings of the current batch of chicken and veggies. Lovely fresh taste!
