Chicken roulade dinner

Thanks, everyone, for all your concerns regarding my recent injury. I am still not quite 100% but am no longer limping around.

Bento-style Monday

I packed this lunch for Jac for last Monday: tuna pasta salad she’d made on Sunday afternoon, korma turkey meatballs, a couple of fresh mushrooms and grape tomatoes. To separate the pasta salad from the meatballs I used a strategically placed washed celery stalk, which Jac could eat with dip if she wished. She has […]
