Looks lovely, (and sounds delicious) but you neglected to let us know how it tasted.
My bad, sorry. I thought it was great. Was dinner for me and my daughter. I asked my daughter and she said good. I can normally tell if it was good or not by seeing if she finishes her bowl/plate and there was nothing left in it. Sometimes I can tell by time also. If after 30 minutes I still see my daughter eating that means she did not really like what I made for her and is slowly firing herself to finish her meal but if I come back after 10-15 minutes and see that it is empty means she liked it.
If you lived next door I would have brought you a bowl
A rare treat for me. A loaf of bread was purchased, so I had scrambled eggs and bread for lunch.
Yum.
Yum.
No photo, but last night we had seared Ahi tuna, and organic broccoli. And plenty of butter.
Simple, but tasty.

Fresh bread? Seriously good scrambled eggs?
Not sure that I'd need Branston pickle with it, but a few chunks of bacon, or ham, sautéed, would go down very well with scrambled egg.
Yes, I can well imagine.
Bread is indeed a treat. And probably a very welcome one, too.
Bacon or ham? Something akin to a birthday present, perhaps.
Am debating what to prepare for my own dinner.
Eggs sound awfully tempting, but I was perusing chilli recipes earlier.
Chilli tomorrow, methinks, and something with eggs this evening.
Bacon is strictly for hotels. To cruel to inflict that smell on Mrs AFB!
Dinner will be late here as I forgot to put the dishwasher on after lunch. Oh well. I’m sure I can wait for the inevitable chicken, rice and vegetables.
Agreed that the aroma of frying bacon is wonderful (up there with the aromas of coffee, and sausages); surely Mrs AFB would not wish to deny you bread on occasion, even if she cannot eat it?
Fresh white bread - with something such as scrambled eggs, or a runny omelette, or poached eggs - is wonderful.
Mrs AFB doesn’t deny me anything. My body doesn’t really like bread. It usually reacts to it. This is probably the second loaf I’ve bought this year.
Possibly. Or baked beans and cheese. With a bit of marmite (if we have any left).
Marmite?
You mean marmalade?
Bakes beans an cheese could be nice, but I actually think that eggs (in almost every form - omelettes, scrambled, poached, fried, hard boiled) work really well with bread. Better, even, than bacon, and that is saying something.
Marmalade with baked beans and cheese? That’s not for me!
Definitely no marmalade in the house. We don’t have use for it.
No, of course not.
Rather, I had in mind marmalade with butter and hot toast with piping hot tea (or coffee).
However, I have seen (or heard of) people using marmalade the way that one might use chutneys with sausages, and there are certain jams (fig jams, muscat jams, apple jellies, quince jams, apricot jams) that are used traditionally with some hard cheeses, or goat's cheese.
My father loved Marmite - he used to eat it on brown bread, serious soda bread - but for the rest of us, it was not something we much cared for.
Re marmalade, I personally like bitter and fruit filled marmalade; as a kid and teenager, my parents used to buy me Old English marmalade - it was the least sweet of the brands on offer, whereas most of the rest of the family (but not mother, she also preferred less sweet marmalade and fruit - at least, until her dementia kicked in when it became a totally different story) preferred something sweeter.
In any case, I haven't eaten a commercial brand for years, possibly decades. Instead, I buy bitter-sweet fruit filled and homemade (made by the person selling it to me, or, in the case of the chap who sells me honey, by his wife) marmalade from two different stalls in the farmers' market.
