 Good evening, everyone.   Apologies for a few missing posts - life has been busy, meals have been all over the place and it's nice to get things back together again today.

I was out all day yesterday - fish and chips for lunch and a scratched together meal of bits and bobs when I got home.  No photos, of course.  

Lunch was most of the chicken and veg orzo made yesterday from leftovers with a mixed salad.  I could have made it look more Cretan by having them as separate items but it makes no difference really.

Two oil swips for some olives and one swip for the tomato sauce leftovers that I used.

Dinner1:  the butterbean dip with carrot slices

One swip (3/4 really but rounded up)

Dinner 2:  I was going to have salad but I had some orzo mix and some bulgur wheat and three colour quinoa so I mixed them together, added some grated hard Italian cheese and stuffed a couple of tomatoes.  Very delicious.

One oil swip and half a calcium healthy extra

Dinner 3:  at last, the imam bayildi and it was delicious.  I used about half amounts and ate a third of it so, working it all out, the other half of my calcium healthy extra for feta plus one swip and half an oil healthy extra for my portion.

I had a banana for afters.

Summary:

Healthy extras: one calcium and one oil, no fibre

Three swips

B:  fruit and/or yogurt, if needed

L:  Another portion of the imam bayildi, probably with salad.

D:  I have cooked chicken to use up so I might make a chicken curry.
Edit:  I'm going to knock together a sort of chicken souvlaki/gyros thingy with some chips on the side.  That will use us all sorts of odds and ends.
