Breakfast:

P was unwell, so it was up to me to sort out A’s breakfast. I managed to grab a marmite bagel and a half, in between serving little madam.

Lunch:

A chicken, lettuce and tomato poppy-seeded baguette from posh bakery Paul. It was a strange feeling having to venture out to get lunch and pay for it with cash.

Dinner:

Noodles with some leftover chicken slices from Sunday’s festivities.

Breakfast:

The usual hotel stuff.

Lunch:

A mixed bag – potato salad, sweetcorn, tomato, butter beans, kidney beans, cucumber, along with some chicken nugget type things, cheese-filled chili peppers, and breaded mozzarella.

Dinner:

Italian place called Malatesta (which, I was told by my linguist colleague, means ‘headache’). Lovely restaurant, and food was ok. The Italian in our party reckoned it was pretty close to the real deal. I had fried squid to start with, followed by a main of linguine con vongole, which was well-seasoned and gave a nice hint of the sea. My review on Qype

Breakfast:

Same as every other day this week, seeing as I’m in the same hotel and the selection doesn’t ever change.

Lunch:

Working lunch brought into the meeting room. Better than the normal boring Pret stuff we get in London, though. Open sandwiches with ham and salad on lovely crusty bread. Love the bread here in Germany.

Dinner:

Went to a place called Eiffel, which was an ever so slightly pretentious modern French(ish) restaurant. I had a starter of scallops on mango-lime chutney with a basil sorbet. Main course was spaghetti with prawns in a spicy tomato sauced embellished with curry spices. My review on Qype.

Breakfast:

No time for breakfast at home, so had to grab a bagel, spread with marmite, at work.

Lunch:

A poppy-seed covered baguette, filled with chicken, lettuce and tomato from posh-ish high street baker Paul.  Someone at work said I must be earning too much to afford to buy stuff from Paul, but the cost of the baguette (£3.30) was less than I’d have had to spend at Subway, plus it was good quality stuff.

Dinner:

Polly did a repeat of her chicken koftas, from the Lazy Bruch book.  Lovely stuff.

Breakfast:

Toast, two slices of which topped with butter and garlic sausage, the remaining slice topped with butter and ham. Once again, A stole some of it.

Lunch:

Home-made pizza, topped with a modicum of ripped mozzarella, ham, torn basil leaves and sliced tomatoes (no tomato sauce). The pizza dough was actually a purloined section of the bread dough I had made in the morning. I love doing this kind of thing, because it’s so much nicer than shop-bought stuff and I know that I can feed it to A, and she’ll be getting food that’s tasty and good for her.

Dinner:

Another meal where A had some portioned off. This time, chicken paella. I made a schoolboy error in forgetting the chorizo for this, so it wasn’t as savoury as I’d have liked, but it was still nice. I also stirred in some cooked prawns into my portion (P doesn’t like prawns, for some bizarre reason).
