As usual (IMO), it smelled much better than it tasted, though I'm not actually much of a coffee drinker. But still, it was quite pleasant. 
We just put in the oven something that's a lot like shepherds pie, except with puff pastry instead of mashed potatoes.
No recipe, we're living on the edge.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Damn that sounds like a lot more fun than my meals lately. Today:
Morning: two eggs scrambled + three pieces of buttered toast with honey & a cup of tea mid-day: bowl of gazpacho with two slices of olive bread and a diet coke Evening: fresh salad dressed with olive oil and aged balsamic, made with red lettuce, beets, kalamata olives, radishes, sweet pepper, onion, blue cheese figs & blueberries served with crackers and a small glass of white wine. But we went out for our anniversary recently to a nice Italian restaurant. We ordered one starter and a salad and then two other dishes. We were two full after eating the first of those dishes that we ended up bringing the other home to have the next day: yellowfin tuna wrapped and baked in prosciutto served on a bed of root veggies and beans in a nice sauce. Fortunately anniversaries only come around once a year.
It's quite a lot of prep, W, but I guess you got the time these days.
That salad sounds pretty awesome actually...
Oh forgot to mention, with the remaining puff pastry, we're trying to make a bananas foster popover.
... and I just finished leftover taco salad with a couple of twists in it. Lordy, but what it was good!
Sitting down to an after-dinner smoke and some guitarin'. Nice little evening we have going here.

It took a while but it is one way to spend more time with food other than shoveling it in. Yep I've got the time now - that's the problem, I'm out of excuses.

I've come to view retirement as time to do things you'd not have time for while working. I have started spending time on weekends doing some food prep for the week, I wish I had time to do more fresh cooking.
Cooking fresh is something I make time for. It's worth it.
