That first cup of coffee in the morning...

I do love a nice cup of coffee in the morning.  I usually have 2 but that's my limit.  I quite like using this jam jar for my mug as I can microwave the milk, froth it then pop in under my little coffee pod machine to brew the coffee.  This is how it comes out before I stir it.

This is my little machine, a Nespresso Essenza mini.  Very simple with no bells and whistles.  You fill the water compartment, pop in a pod and hit the green button.

Sunday morning breakfast - my first bread for the whole week...

~

Lovely fresh, free range eggs from a quite local to us egg business...

~

These are my poor potato plants that I planted out in early October.  I decided to pull the middle pot yesterday to see what the crop was like...

~

Not that great!  They look big but they were tiny and not many of them!

~

I washed them up and I added the bigger ones to some bought potatoes and we had them for dinner.  They tasted great!  I'm hoping the two other pots produce a bit more if I leave them another month or so.

~

Even though I am on WW, I made bread rolls to go into the freezer.  Huz loves them and they take no time at all.  I shaped these as Kaiser rolls, brushed with egg and topped with poppy seeds.  Perfect!

~

Huz also cooked dinner, simple lamb cutlets, steamed veggies with a bit of butter (actually Nuttilex) and parsley on the potatoes and carrots.  Just what we needed.

~

Breakfast was 40gms muesli (6 points), banana, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/3 tub (56gms) Chobani strawberry yoghurt (1 point), 2 tspn pure maple syrup (1 point) and 1/4 cup Pura Tone skim milk.

My tomatoes are doing okay but are very slow to mature and ripen ...

~

A few strawberries but these plants are producing really mutated looking strawbs...

~

Strawberries in pots are looking a bit sad with leaf curl or something.  They've looked like this right from the word go...

~

I gave them a handful of dynamic lifter to see if that perks them up...

~

The day was spent washing bedding, remaking beds for our guests coming for the Australia Day weekend, general tidying and putting away.  I need to Marie Kondo my undies drawer again and relocate some other clothing.  It gets out of hand so quickly.

~

WW Chicken Tagine tonight for dinner...I can try out my new black casserole...
