Happy Birthday @WonkyWomble. You must indulge in a slice of my cake 🍰. 😁 After a busy day I'm now relaxing on the back porch with a little sherry?
Congratulations on the new greenhouse @raisingirl , something on my wishlist, but not yet, haven't the time to enjoy it yet. 🙄
Like @Dovefromabove I would have suggested Fish pie, I quite like baked salmon too with a honey and mustard sauce, but it's fish again. Maybe a lentil curry?
Hope you are well looked after @punkdoc and you're able to help with the awful situation.
As Charlie is off to the UK next week I've booked myself a little trip, off to Nîmes for a few days, with a call in at Ikea on the way back at Toulouse. Found a lovely rooftop apartment in the centre of the old town, beautifully renovated, only fly in the ointment is the 72 steps up to get to it, no lift..... I will be checking I've everything I need before I leave each morning and packing a very light suitcase. 😅 That'll be Sunday to Friday next week. I did contemplate staying home and working on stuff that always get put to one side but decided a relaxing break was needed, especially as my trip to Corfu is postponed until at least the end of September.
Anyway, best organise dinner, have a good evening all.

Just popping in to wish @WonkyWomble a very Happy Birthday, hope you had a good day without getting too wet and are now enjoying a restful evening with a glass or two of something special.
Can't thank you all enough for the lovely birthday messages!!! But I'll try..... THANK YOU ALL!!! X
thought it best that i cook as its not one of hubby's strong points!!! To say the least! This was established in early years! Chicken in oven for a birthday roast, grooving in the kitchen with Jo whiley.... my twin sister.... keeping me company on radio 2... have a lovely evening all!!!! 😁
Thanks all for your recipe suggestions. Time to ponder. Our friend hasn't had a stroke Dove but a throat op which didn't work unfortunately. Makes eating a bit difficult sometimes.
my arithmetic is spot on as i am already all coffee'd up in advance for the day ( ramadan!) -- although I'll see how I go as the month carries on, i normally manage to keep about half the fasts
Good luck with the fasts @Desi_in_London 😊. When I worked I was once lucky enough to be calling on a family one evening in the winter as they broke their fast and was persuaded to join them for their meal … marvellous! It must be harder at this time of year as the daylight hours are longer. 😊

@Dovefromabove It is harder the nearer summer it is, but when they are really long (as you almost certainly know, unlike a "seasonal" Lent, Ramadan cycles through the whole year ) -- but through the height of midsummer I generally "cheat" and keep shorter hours ( aligned with Mecca or some such) to make it doable.

@Lizzie27 -- in addition to what has been suggested, perhaps a macaroni cheese or some kind of baked gnocchi dish?
How perceptive of you @Desi_in_London … your arithmetic is spot on 🤣 have a coffee ☕️
