I spent a good part of the weekend on a yoga course, vinyasa-ing my way through updogs and asanas. My last yoga course was interspersed with looking after a wee sick laddie, enabling me to avoid any part in meditation, already being in a trance like state! As if by magic, the same wee laddie ended up with a bug on Saturday night, leading to a sleepless night and yet another course participation spent in a daze. Despite the lack of sleep, I thoroughly enjoyed it and Jo, our wonderful yoga teacher did us proud. The lunch and wine were good too of course....
I managed to make some bread before collapsing; to give Brian his due, he kneaded on my behalf!
The kids had theirs with butter and jam.
I had mine with tomatoes, spring onions, olive oil, herbs and coleslaw.
We have to make two; one to be devoured, another for breakfast.
The kids and Brian were visiting Grandpa on Saturday evening so I was left to my own devices; I watched 'Funny Face' with Audrey Hepburn and made myself a very healthy ...yeah, right... fry up! Just because!
Bacon, egg, beans, homemade bread toasted and roasted tomatoes...yum!
After the course finished, I went shopping for lamb koftas, cream and smoked salmon, plus more as today I had an afternoon tea with friends. More on that tomorrow. My budget for the next two week's shopping will therefore be cut to £80, that's £40 per week. Shopping list and receipt to follow.

Why are you cutting your budget?
Dinner looked great, bread yummy and I love the movie Funny Face.
I'm glad you enjoyed your yoga weekend.
I've missed you so! So glad to be back in Blog World again. Ok, so that fry up looks sooo good - may I please have some? :-) Looking forward to nabbing some of your recipes, I've fallen into a baked chicken/fish rut because it's easy and I'm a disaster in the kitchen, lol.
Oh, and tell the Royal Post that I'm still waiting! :-D
Love and lots of hugs,

Helen-have you changed your email? We at LBC have been trying to send you a message and it keeps returning with a "failed" message. Thanks!
Judy, the bread was tasty! I've just sent you an email, I think I figured what the problem was.
Anna, he is fine...thank you hon.
Protege, I'm still at the stage where it exhausts me and am looking forward to the gaining energy stage! But exhausts in a good way plus my sore back has completely gone and stayed away....wonderful!
LMB, emailed you. Too many wee tasty treats being bought! ;O)
Single Mama...I always think now "All the single mamas, all the single mamas..." to the tune of Beyonce...*L* Sent you an email. x
Helen, meditation, levitation, yogasanas and such delicious food, no wonder your posts are so fascinating.
Yummy!! This blog is my style. I love things that inspire me to eat rather than run. The world needs more of this kind of motivation.. spend less and eat more! Happy Sits day.
Ooooh, I'm supposed to be a 'bread free zone' at the moment (it does things to my tummy that I couldn't possibly share!) but that looks soooo good - especially with the toms and spring onion, it reminds me of a mediterranean holiday - yum!!!

I love homemade bread. congrats on sits of the day. I saw your blog there..
I love your design..
Good heavens! We're in London and struggling to survive on £60 a wee. In fact, we survive nicely as long as you don't count what we spend on nappies, ad hoc things like my mom's group lunch today or any extras like that! Looking forward to following your blog and learning how you do it!
That all looks yummy!
Visiting via Sits, Happy Day! Love food! Pop by my food blog when you have a sec! www(dot)mamabirdnest(dot)com. Thanks!!

Um YUM. This post just made me ridiculously hungry. :) Off to wonder at more eye candy... Much luv from Texas!
Yum- you're quite a Julia Childs!
This food looks SCRUMPTIOUS!
So jealous of this fry up! It's just not something I can get properly made in the States, and not something I have the energy to make for myself!
