The bathroom scales
Got to get back on track with my
health goals. I’m still too scared to get
on the scales since last Friday when I had lost 3.6 kilos towards my overall goal
of 8. Within a day or so I will be brave enough. Perhaps.
After the tsunami of Christmas treats, pies, rocky road, cake
and slice, I can’t wait to get back to good, fresh, Meyles-garden stuff.
Here’s an example:
Here we have my fabulous zucchini cakes made with a couple
of zucchinis, spring onion, cottage cheese, herbs and cumin. These are very tasty and go beautifully with the
tsatziki (a couple of cucumbers blitzed with greek yoghurt, S&P, cumin. All served with fresh garden salad and salmon,
this made a beautifully satisfying and fresh lunch which gives energy and doesn’t
make me feel tired afterwards.
Pickled Cucumber
Yesterday we picked yet another dozen
cucumbers. After giving away a few dozen
of these babies, I decided to have a crack at pickling some. We love the little gherkins you get in a jar from
the supermarket. So let’s hope they turn
out something like that. These have to wait
a week before the pickling process does its work before we can taste them.
Peppermint Tea
Finished off with peppermint tea
– also grown in our garden. This can be made
using fresh or dried peppermint. It is the
best peppermint tea I’ve ever had – 100 times better than any of that shop-bought
rubbish.
Eat well, live long!
