Steve, living on my own, I keep crumpets in the freezer. I defrost them a bit in microwave, then toast them. YUM

Must be time for dinner, to start veggies boiling to make my normal soupy stew = veggies + some protein - salmon/crumbed fish/vegi-burgers/lamb/chicken/other, depending on what I find in the freezer

Protein is either in the soup or on a plate. Served in a bowl & eaten with a spoon.

Plus crumpets!
