After 30 years I'm going to try sardines again, perhaps tomorrow. It feels like there are no rules now.

KFC. Not the best one I've had I must say, but nice to have something hot!

A toasted cinnamon and raisin bagel, a yoghurt and a cup of coffee.
And no, it wasn't breakfast!

Salads seem to be my lunches these days: yesterday it was a Thai-style vegetable, noodles and peanut dressing one, today a couscous based one (with carrots and cucumbers) topped with soft boiled eggs.
I know I should do better, but I am a little lazy to cook at the moment.

Crumpets with cream cheese, branston pickle and a cup a soup I tried toasted crumpets with humous and melted cheese on top yesterday. I do NOT recommend it. But it cleared out the leftovers.

Lasagne leftovers, microwaved with HP sauce. Anyone else hoping that one day his answer will be "pick-ernic basket, Mr Ranger, sir"... I got the lasagne and hp sauce out of a pick-ernic basket, silly.

Had a wee picnic with my flatmate for lunch. Pork pie, cheese, ham, bread, breadsticks, carrot sticks, hummus, tomatos, and a G&T. Lovely stuff. Stocks are well stocked around me, last missing jigsaw piece in the roll of yeast was discovered via Next Door at a health food place down the road. Can get it all up here: bread; eggs; all your usual meats; all fruit and veg, pasta. Both of us may be unemployed by this but at least we are eating well.

Rice noodles with soy sauce, bacon, shallots and some veg. Dinner was a takeaway pizza as felt we should support them through this, and their four cheese is fabulous.

Sea bass fillet, asparagus and avocado. Satsuma How are you managing to get satsumas at this time of year? I haven't been able to get any since February.

Was it a satsuma? Or a clementine or a tangerine? I don’t know. It was a small orange. They call them easy peelers and i just go with it.

And that was how I spent five minutes searching for the difference between oranges, mandarins, tangerines, clementines and satsumas.
Realistically, my process for choosing is not far different from "oranges are too much of a pain to peel so I'll grab that bag of orange-coloured not-oranges because it's closest". Once they're out of the bag and in a bowl I forget what they are.

I had frozen some chappatis a few weeks ago. Today I have taken some out and am frying them and will have them with a potato/aubergine curry that is cooking away.

My lunch, if working/walking/having a day out in London or elsewhere for cinema and theatre, is almost invariably a large wholemeal roll with a mature cheddar slice & tomato relish, or fresh tomato if/when I have the extra time. Portable, healthy, sustaining, not too messy or smelly. Sometimes the cheese type varies or I have mashed sardines in tomato sauce, but the latter option is very pungent so rarely possible. Followed by an apple. Same again today but if at home, or out in colder weather and with access to a cafe, soup and bread instead.

Sardine posse here, as well: who let the fish out! Drizzle of lemon, several grinds (of pepper), warmed under the grill. Approx. 35p all in

Currently cooking a big pot of ratatouille. Probably going to be too hungry before it has sufficiently cooked (I like to leave it to slow cook for ages for flavour) so I'll probably have it with dinner and have a toasted sandwich for lunch instead!

Was it a satsuma? Or a clementine or a tangerine? Anyone feel like explaining the difference to me? Or not. As you wish. It could develop like when I tried to explain the difference between a picked cucumber and a gherkin to someone once. And that isn't a euphemism. Easy peelers are usually clementines. I'm not sure how to explain the difference in taste. Visually satsumas are usually a lighter shade of orange. Basically you need to have Asperger's & have satsumas as your favourite fruit & then you'll be able to tell the difference instantly!

I struggle with the difference as shops don't usually specify the fruit, just "easy peeler". In the last 3 months I've bought these from Aldi, Lidl, Marks, the Co-op, Morrison's, Sainsbury's etc and they're all equally guilty.
