21st April 2022

I always have a plan for what we will eat the week ahead.  This means I can plan enough vegetables and balance the amount of meat, fish and vegetables we eat and because there is a plan there is none of that ‘what are we eating tonight’ because I already know.  I like it.  I can plan everything that we need, plan to use up any leftovers and it makes me feel in control.

What you cannot plan for however is the weather being so different to how it was forecast and how you think it was going to be.  I thought todays weather would be cold and yet it was beautiful.  I came home from the office and the sun was shining and as soon as I saw the sun I knew Rhona was never going to want to make the Hokkien noodles that were on the menu!  Sure enough as soon as she walked in she mentioned firing up the Braai.  And so not noodles but chicken caesar salad ciabatta rolls (instead of having them as croutons). Absolutely delicious.
