Hi Caroline62,

Thanks! Your lunch sounds lovely - M&S do some great food in their cafes - so I am sure you had a tasty sandwich there.

Your slow cooker stew with veg and cubed pork for this evening sounds really good - I hope you enjoy it. I must think about using the slow cooker - we bought one that is big enough for 2 people, and we've not used it yet! Keep meaning to, and then never get around to it. Slow cooking makes such great depth of flavour.

I'm going to have some chicken with roasted vegetables and new Jersey potatoes tonight, and I'm hoping to cook the vegetarian recipe for 'Sweet potato and chickpea Curry with Cashew nuts' in a couple of days or so.

Hope you're enjoying your week so far.

Hi Rosie,

Thank you I've just looked up what 'Taboulleh is' and I've copied and pasted a bit from Wikipedia here:

"Tabbouleh (Arabic: تبولة‎‎ tabūlah; also tabouleh or tab(b)ouli) is a Levantine vegetarian dish (sometimes considered a salad) made of tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, mint, bulgur, and onion, and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Some variations add garlic or lettuce, or use couscous instead of bulgur.[1][2]"

Wikipedia link here, if you want to read more about it:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabbo...

It is really tasty.

I think a toasted Hot Cross Bun is a lovely thing to have! It sounds like you really enjoyed it. Your tea sounds lovely and refreshing too.

Hope you're having a great week.

thanks rosie i'v had an mri scan maybe it was different from yours it was to look at my gallbladder and they asked me if i wanted music but i said no. i had to breath in and out when they told me it was constant breathing and holding my breath. Im 66 and i i kept thinking i was going to loose my breath and wishing they would hurry up and tell me to breath again. i did manage thank goodness. it wasnt bad at all. its like lying inside a polo mint. wishing you all the best. yes take your music with you i could hear no problem. love grace xoxo 🌺

Hi Grace That's bad news about the nerve pain, I have fibro does the gp know what's causing it. I get gabapentin and it's great it takes the edge of the pain the hardest thing to accept is that there's no magic pill, I hope you feel better soon

Hi Rosie,

It's not been very sunny today, but it's still been a nice day - so can't complain. Glad to hear you've enjoyed a walk and also your session on the bike - both great exercise.

I'm just enjoying an afternoon cup of coffee.
