Found Scotch fillets on sale today, bought it with rainbow carrots, which at time difficult to get at the supermarket near me. I love the colour and it’s great to have colours on my plate. With the few left figs and potatoes, best get rid of it before the birds eat them and the potatoes seems like it’s growing some stalk on it.

I am glad to have some red meat in my diet. Have not had any red meat for almost 2 years. This meal is a luxury meal for me. Covid had change all our lives. Everything increased in price. Some prices had triple especially meat, petrol and our life are getting dull. No going out often with friends and have to be cautious at all time: not to get Covid. Here Winter is around the corner, we are starting to get a few very cold days with a few drops of rain, certainly don’t want to fall sick and some bright days to smile at the sun. Got to be thankful for what we are still able to get.

It is a pleasure to have this meat and I am going to enjoy it with my family and am grateful to have a roof over my head and a plate on my dining table. My dinner is colourful hearty and delicious with peri peri sauce. Let’s cook!!!!!
