We ended up using the contents of my Fruit and Veg box win for good, not evil (including banana and pears for snacking this week).
A yummy roast chook for Sunday and Monday
And yummy, but less pretty Curry/lentil soup. See below the cut for what went into that one.

That soup looks awesome for the crockpot. Lentils or beans always cook really well in there. I’m going to give it a go in another month or so when it’s crockpot weather.
As someone who’s been existing for the last little while on gelato and, before that, Paris patisserie treats, I honestly think that soup looks amazing. Dear heavens I need to eat something like that…

That soup is a bowl-full of veggie goodness! It looks great and my husband would love the use of beef stock in that.
