Yesterday was a day of two halves - busy and then nice and chilled.
Chris and I walked down to Groove, chatting nineteen to the dozen. As this block is a long one, eight weeks instead of the usual six, Lindsey had worked out what she called an 'interim playlist' with new sequences so it felt 'harder' (not the right word here) than usual. Really good though.
I had breakfast early and then went a-shopping for Beth. Without going into reasons, she is changing to a more Mediterranean was of eating, like me, and on Monday we worked out a shopping list which I worked through yesterday. My table is looking remarkably healthy at the moment - nuts, seeds, avocado oil (she already has evoo), wholewheat stuff - fusilli, spaghetti, etc, quinoa, couscous . . .
You could almost see my halo as I pushed my trolley around!

I looked for my posh veg but it was a bit early - the fresh stuff has such a short life and the only remotely posh stuff was some frozen chargrilled Med veg which I got. It gave me ideas though and I can easily knock up some mint buttered peas on Friday which will be fine. So that's the veg sorted out.
I'm also going to help out by making freezer meals for her - for a start, she loved the lentil bake and I've started a batch of falafel (the chick peas are soaking).
It should keep me out of trouble!
Today is busy. I have circuits (changed from Monday this week) first thing, personal training in the afternoon and an early evening Governors' meeting. I'd like to start another loaf too as I know what I have given them won't last Beth and Alex all that long. I want to try going proper wholemeal and add a pinch of commercial yeast to the starter, for a bit more rise. I don't know whether it will work and it wont be authentic sourdough, of course, but worth a try. So I had better get Bubbles activated, hadn't I?
So I will love you and leave you with hopes that we all have a very happy day today. xx
This made me chuckle, as I also feel smug on those occasions when my trolley leans on the healthy side :) I hope Beth soon feels the benefit of her Mediterranean diet. Xx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she will.
DeleteIt's a bit naughty to look sideways, but we can't help it, can we? xx
I can almost see your halo shining from here. It is a good feeling when the trolley is bursting with goodness and healthy foods isn't it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI need to make some falafel, it's ages since I have made any, although I did make a batch of hummus yesterday.
The chickpeas have soaked so it's time to get going. xx
DeleteI understand perfectly about feeling great when the cart is full of healthy goodness.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
< chuckle > It's a good feeling, isn't it? xx
