    Nothing here ... I had a mashed banana with cinnamon brown bread sandwich. :)

    PS I always have to have a little butter on sandwiches unless it is tuna or egg mayo.

        It is already pretty warm here. And I am about to have my breakfast. A lovely scoop praline ice cream in a cone... :biggrin: Okay, no, I'll have that for lunch - now that I see how everyone else here eats such healthy menus, the guilt is kicking in!

        Toast with grapefruit marmalade instead :cool:

          I've never tried to grate a beetroot.
          It must be like a war zone once you have finished.:biggrin:

            Cooking is enjoyable :thumbsup: and eating even more enjoyable. Roasts at least once a week.

            Today I've made a cream of mushroom soup (15 minutes cooking time) and shall have marinated spiced lamb chops with Jacket potato and stir fried veg. Melon and raspberries to follow. :)

                :biggrin: It's best to use a food processor with a grater attachment because doing it with a normal grater is hard on the hand and arm, not a lot of juice comes out and it's best straight from the fridge.

                  We have ice-cream on a Sunday with pudding. We also have 1 chocolate out of a tin of assortments every day and 1 square of 70% dark chocolate once a day, which is good for the heart.:biggrin:

                    I've had cooked and chilled beets which were thinly sliced and as a salad at a high end restaurant. Pretty much beets but with grated mozzarella. The pairing was surprisingly nice and I do very much like beets.:)

                    I've just made the topping for some bruschetta. I already baked the baguette so it will be easy to slap together and bake later.

                      Yes I like a beetroot and very strong cheddar cheese sandwich.

                        @Logan I have never heard of using beet root in a sandwich. Sounds lovely. What type of bread is best for that combo please?

                        @CanadianLori I would use wholemeal bread but anything that you want. Unless the beetroot is grated I would use a cooked beet, over here it's usually a pickled beet.

                          Thank you @Logan. I haven't made pickled beets in ages but now I've got good reason to do it this year. I think I'll make a loaf of walnut bread (not sweet bread) - those combos might work well. :)
