Ham and potato soup. First for me. It was good, not great. Tomorrow I'll post the recipe and get some suggestions on how to improve it.
Looks lovely and I want some please - where is the gravy?

We use a horse radish sauce with our our pot roast
Underneath, been cutting down. My doc was happy with me last week when he realized I had lost almost 20 pounds simply by cutting down on serving sizes since I saw him not quite 4 months ago. I'm short and extremely curvy to put it nicely. About 1/3 of that bowl didn't get eaten. You'll are a bad influence on me with these challenges because I've actually regained some according to the way my clothes aren't as loose as they were. Most of the pics I take of my plates end up with a good size portion not being eaten at dinner.
Pan fried gammon with mustard sauce and a cauliflower with béchamel sauce.

We have suffered a water shortage up to this afternoon so I kept the pan usage to a minimum. It's all sorted now (we hope!).
Yep, 1 stone 9lbs down so far, mostly by eating the same things but less of them Which I'm pretty pleased with considering the food-fest that was Easter a couple of weeks ago and friends visiting last weekend.Smaller portions are a good way to go to save on calories. I think @MrsDangermouse mentioned recently that she had lost weight that way.
I'm with you on that one! Over the week I try to "save up" some spare calories so I can indulge at the weekend.I am a very bad person because I drink a lot of alcohol and thus cannot afford to eat too many calories.
We grow it in the garden but I always forget about it.....think I might find a way to add it to tomorrow night's dinner.Wild garlic is back at our local greengrocer's and is, quite naturally, a favourite among vegetarian vampire ducks. A kind of garlic duckweed, really. Today, this will be added as a garnish to some pasta, which not only adds to the taste, but is aesthetically pleasing
