Ma had a Biryani.
This is a dish that comes with a vegetable curry and rice. The curry has the sauce, the rice and meat is more dry.

I introduced her to it over 20 years ago [hubris] but it's a curry-house staple, so she'd probably have discovered it herself at some point [humble].

This was technically lunch today, but I may as well put it all in the same place.
My bro sent me Wetherspoons vouchers for my birthday, at my request.
I wanted to be able to treat Mum to at least one meal, and I know that after cooking a Sunday roast for years and years, she would appreciate having one cooked for her and no washing up to worry about.

So she went for the roast beef dinner.
I honestly didn't fancy a roast. So I had a Mexican Dog.
No jokes please. And no comments on the veracity of the meal, I do know that slapping guacamole, cheese and chillies on a hotdog does not make it Mexican. Oh go on then, if you want to

Once again we both left a significant amount.
Look, neither of us like to waste food. But neither of us asked for maxed out portions either. There was just too much to cope with. If it helps, we just shared a panini for tea

Yum! Looks great. Your Mum looks like she's lost a lot of weight too Sundae. Has it been purposeful?

Told her you said that, she was very flattered. Sends her love,
You know she is always trying to lose weight.
But I think this is a side effect of Dad losing his appetite and not eating (not cancer, please don't let it be cancer)
and generally running round after him,

For dinner (lunch) I just had a bowl of mushroom soup (from a tin: 60p) and a hunk of cheese topped baton bread (small baton = 45p, used about a third, so 15p)

a 75p lunch that was mega tasty :p

Pounded chicken thigh. Stewed Rotel maters, diced maters, okra, eggplant, mater sauce, 1 can mater soup, bit of onions, bell pepper, green onions and last of my shrimp. Not bad.

Sounds like you had a good supper, Buster. I had some Sushi that was pretty spicy. It was stuffed with crab meat and covered in Dynamite sauce.

I'm a bachelor this evening. Picked up some rotisserie chicken and made a salad.
