17 August - double lunch and kedgeree

We have a staff meeting on a Wednesday lunchtime. I knew I wouldn't make it through to after the meeting without something to eat, but I hadn't been organised enough to get anything in for a packed lunch, so I stopped off at Hart's on my way in this morning and picked up a courgette and feta danish. It made the perfect savoury snack just to get me through. It wasn't quite enough to last through the rest of the afternoon though, so after the meeting I went into Chandos Deli for a goats cheese and red onion tart which I had when I finally got home at about 3.

Dinner was another quick favourite, kedgeree with smoked mackerel, spinach and peas. I think I've complained before that my kedgeree hasn't been as good since Sainsbury's changed their smoked mackerel. Tonight, I used some new curry powder though, from Steenbergs, which gave it just the right amount of kick and flavour. I think it went some way to making up for the less flavoursome fish.

3 June - leftovers for lunch

We're heading off to Gatwick this evening ready to fly to Norway in the morning for a week away. So lunch is using up the last bits in the fridge; a couple of leeks and some ham together with a dribble of cream and some pasta. Not actually too bad with a sprinkling of parmesan on the top eaten out on a sunny terrace.

Savoury tarts from Chandos Deli on the train to London for tea.
