Skipped breakfast
Lunch: potato soup with chicken, cheese, and bacon, plus mini breadsticks
Dinner: turkey, spinach and red onion meatballs, plus broccoli with cheese

Currently finishing up a glass of Bordeaux as my nightcap.
Yes, eating this way is how I've lost 25 pounds.

I had this for dessert during my luncheon today.
thanks for the info and tips! I did read that the salad sandwich was based on canned beetroot (beets in USA) - I need to start buying and cooking beets again for myself.
I'm a millennial, I also own a home. That was more in jest because around here the boomers blame the lack of home ownership amongst young people on overseas holidays and avo on toast.
Those beetroots are cooked, not raw. I love a salad sandwich, they're hard to find these days. My grandmother used to make a sandwich that was straight out of a can beetroot on the whitest of white bread with nothing else but too much butter.
Push down on the top of it where it was connected to the tree. If it's firm but has some give then it's perfect. If it's too soft then the avo is past its best, if you can't push it down the avo is unripe.

I remember when my mum first gave me non-canned beetroots. I wasn't a happy kid. I spat them out and said they taste like dirt.

I have bought them before but Ill just cook them myself.
also Trader Joes is always popular so now during pandemic the entry queue is too much and I refuse to return. Im too addicted to the ease of Safeway and Gus which both have queues when needed but generally are less crowded.
Likewise I wont return to WF because of the entry queue.

When the world is back to normal I'll make you a salad sanga with beetroot. You'll thank me.
In fact I'll make everyone on this forum a salad sanga at my place.
Eventually we'll get there, and we'll discuss this awfulness that we're currently going through.
