What are you having for lunch?

An egg salad and home baked Rosemary and olive focaccia bread with some oil and balsamic for dipping. The spuds, beans, radish and beetroot all from the plot of Mott.

My phone was out of charge, but I did a tomato omelette.

Youngest came back from Uni with a load of old eggs. You might like this, Mottie.

Thought I'd check them out. You don't necessarily have to bin them. I put them all in a bowl of cold water and the bad ones floated.

This is because as they start to go off, they produce a gas. I threw these out and kept the good ones for the omelette.

Next I got a load of reduced tomatoes I got from Aldi on Thursday. My Mum took me swimming and we went afterwards. Me and Mrs S normally go at night and there's very little to choose from. On Thursday afternoon, the shelves were stuffed and there was loads of heavily reduced salad and eggs. 75% off. There was still a week left on the eggs but the display until date was that day, hence the discount. The other bargain I got was a 75% off whole chicken. Cooked it the next day as a roast meal, absolute bargain. Plus, and here's a shopping tip if you didn't know it already, supermarkets sell chickens in weight brackets (eg 1.9 to 2.3kg) and they are all the same price, so pick up the heaviest one you can find!

Anyway, so fast forward to lunchtime today and the Specially Selected reduced tomatoes had ripened off a bit more and were super sweet, so I fried them off in some butter then took the good eggs from the bowl of water, gave them a whisk and threw them in the pan.

A few minutes, fold it over, a twist of salt and black pepper and some sourdough and that was a really tasty lunch!

You’re practically a Freegan.

That’s the same with Christmas turkey's too and they generally have a larger weight bracket. ;)
 
Salad for Mrs Mottie, pizza for me in a lovely restaurant in Limone, looking over Lake Garda. Just beautiful.
