The almost fluorescent stuff is actually feta cheese!
Greek salad, or my version anyway. A few salad leaves, sliced red onion, baby plum tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese and chopped mint. I dressed the leaves with some balsamic vinegar mixed with olive oil. Something not quite traditional were the strips of courgette I added, two little baby ones shaved with a horseshoe peeler. Lovely, fresh, tasty and filling.
The venison was a bargain from asda of all places, half price.
Having been against sweet potato I now love them along with butternut squash, cut into wedges, tossed with some olive oil and seasoning (I had some BBQ seasoning left over in the cupboard) and roasted in the oven for about 40 mins.
Then things went down hill. Not only did I have to be in the office early (I hate early) I am stuck in the office all day on my todd, can't get out, can't get to the shop, what is a girl to do?! Well she could turn to the other half of the bag of leaves, the red onion, the tomatoes, the feta.
OR she could get jealous that her accountant has buggered off for a slap up Chinese lunch that she could have gone to, if she could get out of the office, she could get busy with google and click, click, click she could end up with a lovely little man knocking on the door bearing this
Other lovely men that have knocked on the door today have been the John Lewis man bearing gifts for my Friends new baby boy, some moisturiser that the Mothership wants before her holiday tomorrow and the Ocado man with this weekends shopping.
Everyone has days like this - don't think of it as a falldown, think of it as a little indulgence on an otherwise extremely healthy day! Diets don't work because they force us to restrict too much. A healthy lifestyle includes EVERYTHING - even that delicious-looking pizza!
