When I shared my next effort at perfecting pita bread, I mentioned that I had one left and that it might make lunch for me.
Speaking of the lentil patties, you might remember that I tried the recipe out about three weeks ago? The patties we didn't eat, I stuck in the deep freeze and because one of our Sunday diners is a longtime vegetarian, I fished out a couple. The good news is that they benefitted from the freezing and the "rest". Our guest only had one (I had baked two), so in addition to the pita, I had a left over patty lurking in the fridge looking for a job.
The two together were saying lunch for one. The Husband is usually out on a Wednesday, so that leftover pita bread, tomato, tzatziki and a lentil patty broken into falafel sized bits. Topped with perennial basil, they all became became my lunch.
I loved it. My desk, not so much. I scattered lentil bits all over the show. And yes, I know, I shouldn't be eating at my desk...I don't usually...
Supper was, of course, pasta.
My friend's ducks are laying again (yay!), so I made the pasta made with a duck egg she delivered yesterday morning
I dressed it with parsley and basil pesto from the garden and served it with slow cooked mushrooms topped with slivers of parmesan style mature gouda from our favourite local cheesery. It's one of my favourite meals of the week - to make and eat. As is the salad antipasti which, this week, included avocado. Because of this I dropped the usual balsamic vinegar, and dressed it in a squeeze of fresh lemon and olive oil.
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
