Monday's meatfree meal came, as is customary for summer, out of the jar.
It really suited me last night: it was a long - and hot day and The Husband mislaid a part for an appliance. That is/was a major crisis. We've been waiting to get this washing machine repair done for nearly 6 months. Why? Because the suppliers have been less than helpful. They are in Cape Town and we are in the Styx sticks. That's another story for another time.
Roasted carrot, almond and olive salad on fresh pita breads and with tzatziki.
This salad has become a firm favourite with certain of my market customers, and with us. Now I make sure I don't sell out!

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?

- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.

@fionasfavourites It has also been difficult for me to be consistent in my posts in the last month, and that has also wreaked havoc on my inspiration to write.
Last year I managed to do the challenge #hiveblopomo, and it's been the only time I've been posting daily for a month. This year the story is different.
But here I am, starting over.
I think we are all exhausted. I know I speak for myself with what's going on in RL. I do know that my inspiration levels ebb and flow. Anyhow...there's always tomorrow. And April. And then November 🤣
