Yummy yummy yummy...

I kick off today's blog entry with a peek at some of my health shop goodies. There's always so much I want to buy, so I always end up leaving something and regretting it. Well, always next time I say...



Plamil Organic Cayenne Chocolate.This is some of the best chocolate I've ever eaten, I swear. Don't let the cayenne pepper put you off. It's not too hot or spicy, just wonderfully rich and smooth with a nice kick to it. Plus it's 70% cocoa solids, so it's good for your heart (and soul)! It seems I've found a dark chocolate to rival the mighty Green and Black's in my affections. It's suitable for vegans too.



Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce! I put this in everything I ate on Sunday, so excited was I to have it. And very nice it is too.



On to the food porn! A speedy bean salad for my luncheon today. It's got pepper, tomatoes, celery, spinach, little gem lettuce, raw pumpkin seeds and beans, tossed in a nice balsamic vinagrette. I also added some cubes of Sunday's sourdough loaf that was going stale, to soak up the juices, at Mum's suggestion. Mmmmm! Because I thought it was getting a bit too healthy, I packed a slice of apple cake (all gone now, alas, alack!) for a mid-morning snack.



And so to dinner. Having punished my body with a cross-country run (not such a good idea. I have been so tired today. I got out of bed and collapsed this morning) I needed some R and R. It was time for PASTA! Mum had promised earlier in the week to make pesto, and make it she did. It was delicious! I had mine with steamed broccoli and different-coloured cherry tomatoes, with some veggie "Italian-style premium cheese" (they can't call it Parmesan because of the PDO). Mum added mozzarella (ick) to hers, and Pie turned her nose up at my lovely veggies and ate hers with just cheese and some ham. Oh well. Above are the bowls all ready for dinner. Don't they look nice?



My bowl of pasta. Mmmm, I probably eat much more pasta than I ought to, but who cares when it's this good?
Hope you all eat something delicious! Coming up tomorrow...the revenge of the MARROW! MWAHAHAHA!!!!
Run, don't walk...
