I'm envious of your menus and admiring of your table settings. My attempts to prepare scotch eggs have ended with the egg and the sausage mix (cooked) mushed up in a cereal bowl. There must be a secret Welsh ritual to making scotch eggs.
The caloric value probably works, where are the veggies? I had sausage and egg myself, in a different configuration. By the by - have you given up on the weight loss group?
OMG, what is going on in the universe? My breakfast this morning was a little leftover Orange-cranberry muffin my husband baked last night. Lunch was the other left over muffin. I do have to say, I made my own two cup of coffee. At least you dine with class. I just grabbed one and ate it on the way down the hall, headed to computer. Rex, the dog loves the crumbs!
Darn, John. Now I will have to go scavenging for that old recipe. Nowhere around here you could buy a Scotch egg if you life depended on it. Now of course I am really craving one. Thank you, this is just what I needed today.
Lonely little Scotch eggs are no substitute for a meal when a night shift looms. I'd need some chips and peas to go with that. Love the crockery and miniature silverware. xx
I like the plates . Glad to see you are enjoying a scotch egg or two .
ReplyDeleteGourmet night - Bon appetit!
ReplyDeletethat's a well rounded diet.
ReplyDeleteLOL, very round .
ReplyDeleteAt last I get to actually see a Scotch egg. It was still a mystery to me. I hope todays breakfast is something different.
Egg on toast
DeleteBeing a girl from the South, mine was a Deviled Egg.
DeleteHilarious. I especially like the presentation for both meals.
ReplyDeleteCan you eat just one?
ReplyDeleteI like your lunch plate. The tiny salt and pepper shaker - is that nicked from one of the airlines? Oh and I like your bowl of fruit.
ReplyDeleteHow very dare you
DeleteThey are solid silver topped victorian condiments
...and ever so posh for eating ones Scotch Egg ~
DeletePlease, please, please, treat your cruet to a touch of silver polish! X
DeleteHa-ha! You daft sod. Don't you know that man cannot liveth by scotch egg alone?
ReplyDeleteBut it looks as though he'll have a good try !
Deletedo wine and scotch eggs REALLY go together? I fancy a banana right now...
ReplyDeleteIts diet coke..... Its all pretend
DeleteCoke goes with Everything ... sez the girl from North Carolina who drank it for breakfast in the summer time.
Deletediet coke? damn, I am disappointed. :(

ReplyDeleteThere is.... Go to Marks and Spencers in Prestatyn on a saturday morning and they are reduced to 80 p
Delete80p?!? I get one at the Scottish pub around the corner and they charge $5! Each! Of course, you can't get them in the market here... but, still!
DeleteHealthy eating. An example to us all.
ReplyDeleteMy work here is done
DeleteLeft at loose ends were you?
ReplyDeleteIts been torrential rain here all day and I am on night shift tonight
DeleteReally the saddest please come home I miss you post I've seen in a long time.
DeleteFrom the shadows, did you take both pics at the same time?
ReplyDelete"So you think the two shots were cynically staged Detective Eversfield?" asked Watson.
DeleteThe kitchen lights could not be moved
DeleteAh!
DeleteI was just a little confused. I guess I didn't allow for lighting on in the daytime, which I should have considered at this time of year.
I love it! At least you are civilised enough to present it on a plate!
ReplyDeleteStandards simone, standards
DeleteThere'll be plenty of farting tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the appetizer ? little bitty scotch eggs ?
ReplyDeleteQuails(Scotch) egg?
Deletelol ... sparrow scotch eggs ?
Delete*sniggering* can't think of anything smaller than a sparrow!
DeleteHummingbird! Hummingbird Scotch eggs!
DeleteBrilliant! Now where can we get some to send to John lol!
DeleteLove the change of dishes. Both dishes are lovely but your supper plate is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShows off your scotch egg off to perfection.
LOL
cheers, parsnip
A wee nutritional tip for you: A scotch egg makes a good snack to fill in that pesky gap midway between lunch and supper. (Dr. Scott).

ReplyDeleteClassy! Table linens, tableware, wine, cutlery.
ReplyDeleteSorry John, missed a word out. What I said was - you a nurse, where are your five a day?
ReplyDeleteWine is made from grapes. Therefore it is one of your five a day. Healthy meal. What?
ReplyDeleteMy husband used to say that ! He told me how healthy he was because of the wine. I would say he lied but the man was never sick. Ever.
DeleteNow with a custard tart for pudding you would have had a meal fit for the gods..x
ReplyDeleteUsing different plates shows dedication over what I can muster. I wash them, but use it for the next meal as well.
ReplyDeletePreceded with a squash bisque and followed by a nice green salad of course.
ReplyDeleteThe caloric value probably works, where are the veggies? I had sausage and egg myself, in a different configuration.
ReplyDeleteBy the by - have you given up on the weight loss group?
What beautiful settings...with a prize for two meals.
ReplyDeleteHeck - I saw Scotch Eggs in Tesco today and immediately thought of you!
ReplyDeleteFor John, the five a day would be five Scotch eggs ! One has to admire his elegant dining.
ReplyDeleteBy the look of the bananas, you should eat some of those next! Love the stripy tablecloth, by the way x

ReplyDeleteI can see the Prof shaking his head......
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! A new food group :)
ReplyDeleteKeep it simple I always say.
ReplyDeleteCome off it John, you're not a bachelor any more!
ReplyDeleteDarn, John. Now I will have to go scavenging for that old recipe. Nowhere around here you could buy a Scotch egg if you life depended on it. Now of course I am really craving one. Thank you, this is just what I needed today.
ReplyDeleteThe little salt and pepper shakers are a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the baked beans for supper??
ReplyDeleteCold... straight from the tin, of course....
Well, at least you set a beautiful table!
ReplyDeleteHow dare you not have wine! LOL
ReplyDeleteMissFifi
Ha, ha ha, it looks like a glass of wine presented itself for the second course of meals :)
ReplyDeleteWith posh plates too, for me dining alone it would probably be straight out of the packet to save on the washing up lol.
ReplyDeleteA man after me own heart: presentation is everything and you certainly produce - even for a humble scotch egg.
ReplyDeleteYUM!! Any brown sauce or chutney going? :)
ReplyDeleteLonely little Scotch eggs are no substitute for a meal when a night shift looms. I'd need some chips and peas to go with that. Love the crockery and miniature silverware. xx
ReplyDeleteDid you move the fruit bowl so that we couldn't see that you'd eaten ALL the bananas ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy Gram had plates like your lunch plate. Any time I see that pattern, I think of her.
