A solo picnic lunch in one of my Dads favourite places.

It’s a couple of hours drive from home & I was nearby so I grabbed a cold beer from the local shop and took myself to the river.

chilli then drizzled with pomegranate molasses & dusted in za’atar on a bed of freshly picked mixed greens (suffering from not being watered enough) and topped with a runny egg.

These 5 elements (my bold) get me craving. Especially the runny egg!

You are making me homesick @morning glory I used to love visiting my parents in kent and go out for seafood. Don't get good seafood in the Midlands!

We are not far from Wales now and went there last year. Amazing mussels!

Tuesday night, we had I Francesca's fennel, gruyere quiche, except I cooked it as a frittata, crustless, because Craig wanted home fries.

Tonight, Wednesday, we had mojo marinated grilled chicken, black beans and rice, and cuban butter baked bread.

Simple evening meal prepared by hubby.

Mushroom and spinach omelette with freshly picked greens (various red and green lettuce, rocket, beetroot leaves and a few herbs but all kept in water until plated), tomatoes, cucumber (home-grown as well) and green pepper. I added a touch of nutritional yeast to my omelette after the photo.

Taken as the sun was setting hence the side lighting!

I went to town a bit on Wednesday. Pancakes with yoghurt and clementines for breakfast (shared with the mutt, of course!). Chocolate mug cake with cream for lunch. Cauliflower, broccoli and leeks with crispy fried bacon, in a cheese, egg and mustard sauce for dinner.

Sadly there is no fishmonger in Maidstone so its travel to the coast for really fresh fish - its only a 40 min drive though, to Whitstable.

A Garden Burger! Yes, I know that garden burger typically means a vegetable-based burger. But, in this case, it's a garden on top of a sirloin burger:

• Carrot Bacon (perfected) - I used fresh carrots and added maple syrup, and look at how beautiful it looks on top.
• Pickled beets - I made these with mustard seed and whole cloves in the pickling mixture, and less-than-usual sugar. Really tasty.
• Olive Guacamole - this is the "olive sauce" I mentioned previously (green olives, Anaheim peppers, anchovies, oil) plus avocado. A very tasty replacement for mayo!
• Romaine lettuce leaf and a slice of beefsteak tomato

Early dinner tonight. Tarte Tatin. (I could get hooked on these!) In fact it was a bangers and mash tarter with baked beans.
