Every day started with a breakfast of grapefruit and eggs, with another two eggs for each weekday lunch, and two more for dinner twice a week.

After two years she switched to the weekday lunch timeslot in 2001, and as of 2003 she switched to the weekend breakfast slot.

I also want to learn to cook - finally - partly in a bid to make my weekday lunches a bit more exciting.

But she will still offer weekday lunches at a café in the basement and open a new bar.

Very little extra effort, when you think about it, and wonderfully useful sitting in the fridge for quick weekday lunches and suppers.
