@Dutchy,
Sounds great, Dutchy.

Tonight, here: Grilled (outside!Very Happy) some of the fabulous pork, fennel & gently spiced sausages from the new local butcher I've recently discovered ... plus steamed potatoes tossed in a little butter & ground pepper (with toasted almonds on top - I can't resist the almonds!) & steamed broccoli. Not bad at all.

@msolga,
wholewheat spaghettini

I tossed a giant mushroom and 2 tomatoes, all coarsely chopped, into the pot with a bit of butter to sautee. Mixed in a little, mmmmmebbe a lot, basil pesto. Threw the spaghettini back into the pot with all of it. So good.

Tonight: a sort of "paella-ish" dish. Rice, chicken, corn, peas, red capsicum .. etc. A good fall-back dish when I fancy a healthy (& tasty) rice dish that's easy to prepare. I'm in transition from winter food to lighter fare.

Alex, I could live on peanut butter -- in fact that's what I took for lunch today. Last night -- small pot roast with potatoes, carrots, parsnips and cabbage wedges all smothered in onions. Used leftovers tonight for hot roast beef sandwiches and made a salad. Still enough roast beef to make beef barley soup (which was the reason I bought the roast to begin with -- got a hankering for beef barley soup).

This is just a wee lapse on your part, alex. We all have them, ya know! Wink

Bet you're back to your usual fine form by now!

Endy, if it tastes good, then enjoy!
Far better than throwing your leftovers out, or losing them in the freezer like I do! Embarrassed

So, Tai .... there's roast beef & barley in this soup (0bviously). Could I ask what else is in it & how to go about making it? I'm interested ( my cultural eating/cooking habits are quite different. And I wouldn't mind learning a few new tricks! Very Happy )

msolga:
Noticing the storage jar of barley in the cupboard prompted purchase of the roast! I had no real recipe/game plan in mind. So...I'll probably dice the remaining roast and throw it and a handful of barley in the crockpot (so I can ignore it) with store-bought beef broth. When the barley's chewy I'll add leftover roasted carrot and parsnip and carmelized onions, ground pepper, maybe some Worcestershire sauce? The barley will thicken it a bit. It's a wait and see soup! (Maybe you're familiar with "Scotch Broth" made with veggies, barley and mutton?)
