School has returned and with it lunches. I don’t really eat sandwiches, probably because I am not used to it (we only ate them for pic nic in France or when we ate ” sur le pouce” ( on the run) comme on dit en Francais. Even today you will seldom see me eat sandwiches because I try to stay away from carbs.

Anyway not eating sandwiches for lunch makes fixing lunches is a tad more complicated. It is a salad, or left-overs.
In order to not worry about my lunches for this week, I thought to fix a  whole salmon filet for dinner on Sunday so that i will have enough  left-overs for a few days… Or so I thought;-)… My son ate most of it leaving only enough for my Monday but I guess that is okay.
