It’s a week night. It is cold, damp and grey. (In England. Who would have thought…..). I was coming down with a cold that would worsen with a vengeance overnight and see me at home the next day. My energy was AWOL and so H-G was tasked with heading to the Deli counter at the market and purchasing something nourishing, something delicious and something ever so slightly indulgent.
All I had to do was set the table and pick out my preferred tableware.
I went for my fun melamine healthy eating plates. These plates are meant to be a guide to portion control and I love using them (if not necessarily adhering to their template). I tipped out gorgeously coloured little packs of Greek salad and beetroot, apple and yoghurt salad.
Then added the meat and starch.
Maybe a little too much starch in the form of chunky chips … but beef patties, chips, salads and English mustard….. easy. No fuss. Popular with all the family (vegetable patties were the order of the day for the vegetarians amongst us).
Less than an hour later the entire household was in bed…. while the wind howled outside and the creeping cold crept upon us.
Winter is here.
