What did you eat/cook today (February 2017)?

[Yorky]

Is that steak and kidney?

You're on the ball today, MG!

Cod, chips, peas and a couple of spicy black pepper pickled onions.

I make "big" chips but usually cut them in half. I suppose that's a result of the Thai custom of just eating with fork and spoon.

And what's wrong with using your fingers?

That's Malaysia. It's acceptable there. Not here though (except probably with the younger generation).

It always used to be rather uncouth in the UK too - even fish and chips was taken home and not eaten in the street. McDonald's has a lot to answer for

We shall be having lasagna.

I'd be interested to see your recipe. I make it sometimes too.

You can't get it in the UK or outside of Texas and very eastern New Mexico.
I bought HEB frozen lasagna.

Have you ever made it yourself? It is a bit of a palava...

I have but not in many years. Cheaper and easier to buy the frozen ones.

I have made lasagne before. It turned out quite well. Its best to cook for a crowd though.

For lunch I had a packed salad with sour dough bread. I'm trying to eat healthier lunches at work. It saves money too to make my own. I made the same for my friend to take. Now I'm on lunch pack duty for the pair of us for the rest of this week!

I haven't eaten much today. I'm going on a big crash diet right now. I'm sure it is very unhealthy, but needs must. So far, chicken soup made from half a stock cube plus almond milk (30 cals), a tomato sandwich with rocket (150 cals), a boiled egg (80 cals) with wholemeal toast and a little low cal spread (120 cals). Three glasses of wine (240 cals). One packet of crisps (130 cals). Total so far is 750 cals

Next is some more soup and bread - and another glass of wine.

Stuffed bell peppers, rolls, fried okra and a bread pudding made from day old donuts.

That is a new one for me (the bread pudding made from donuts). Are we talking the same thing here in terms of donuts (doughnuts)? I'm thinking deep fried and covered in sugar. Like this:
