The stayathome journal is meant to show, with simple photographs, our daily meals during this period and perhaps some of the thinking behind the meal planning. Click here  or scroll down  to go straight to the posts.  Please Subscribe to get daily updates into your in-box We hope it will give a little culinary inspiration and look forward to any comments, suggestions or constructive criticism We will be adding to the other pages of the blog when possible We vaguely discuss our meals for the day and try to plan what we will try and do to use up any leftovers or make the most of what we have As tempting as it is this is not intended as a photo gallery for food but we will add photos whenever possible.  We will also add recipes in some form as and when time permits along with some of the thoughts of why we made those choices We were fortunate enough to do our monthly shop before the lockdown, however, we have not really struggled to find what w...
