Due to a mix of bad traffic, work bo@"ocks and picking up son from work it was 25.5 hours between dinner Monday and dinner Tuesday, but I dare not call it a 24h fast for fear of upsetting those who set the rules on these things.

What is spinach bread? Bread when being made has spinach in it?? Sounds strange, but would be interested to know. Thanks Geoffers Taylor.

L: hummus
S: too many squares of Lindt lime choc. Forgot it was 50% cocoa solids not 70% and had 4 squares not 2. :bigtears: it was lush though.
D: more moussaka.

Mr B is getting tired of me saying 'I could live on moussaka' every time the subject comes up. But I could.

I've just finished a fast, too. Mine was a 24 hour fast which ended at 6pm and not a moment too soon. I definitely couldn't have done another 24 hours. :)

The dinner I broke my fast with was a rib eye steak with creamy garlicky parmesan cabbage and (as a starter) some mushrooms (whole and raw) marinated in a teaspoon of red wine vinegar, olive oil and yet more garlic.

All incredibly scrummy :hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry:

OH watched a programme on TV about the wonders of olive oil (uncooked) and apparently he and I are now to have 20ml of it a day each. Hence the mushrooms....

@Mongolia . I've just taken it out of the oven and I'm waiting for it to cool so I can try it. I have a fan oven and cooked it for 40 minutes not the 50
