purplerabbits at 07:43pm on 23/11/2011 under "food poverty"Yesterday evening was butternut squash curry in the end, which is OK, but not one of my greatest triumphs; it really needed potatoes or some firmer beans instead of the lentils, neither of which I had.
Today was porridge (again again), carrot daal soup of nom, and because I was feeling particularly rubbish, tea was big chunks of bacon and cabbage, which I briefly boiled and then tossed in the frying pan to get it all bacony. (Still craving ketchup, though.)
And then realising I hadn't had a starch option and I was craving sweets, I made a brilliant discovery - you can add grated carrots to bargain tinned rice pudding and a few sultanas to make a very passable Indian-style desert. Well it would have been Indian style if I'd been allowed to add cardomom and saffron, but the principle's sound, and I am now definitely full of food AND have had my five a day.
