"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

I took the tub of soup out this morning but it was just too green and my stomach (or my mind) said "No". I don't know why. Green food is healthy but it just looked - well - too green.

So breakfast was some of the risotto left for the 2nd meal today. Now have some kind of gastric reflux for my pains.

That probably means green soup for 2nd meal - if I can face it. I know it tastes fine - I tasted it yesterday. Maybe it would have been more appealing if I hadn't pureed it.

Another night without sleep. I did doze for about half an hour in the big chair about 05.00-0530; then again for a few minutes around 09.00.

I had the usual small breakfast, and then for lunch I had a salad with Iceberg lettuce, some small chicken sausages and an egg, using my windowsill cress and some of the first outer leaves (very small, about 2") of the cosberg lettuce. It's very crisp and tasty, and these are just very early leaves! I also had a couple of tiny rocket leaves. I forgot to get onion greens out of the garden though! I think cosberg is my new favourtie and will be my all year succession sowing for lettuce.

I treated myself to some fresh strawberries and will have some with cream after tea. I'm not sure yet what tea will be though.

The sun peeked out today so I had a look in the polytunnel, which is very damp and full of junk. I have a new cover for it for this year, and I'll get the solar fans in there soon to banish the mould. I think I'll put the tomatoes in there in April as they might be a bit big for growing on in the house, but I'll keep the chillies and peppers indoors.

Did I mention growing dwarf french beans as houseplants? I'm giving that a go, if I can get the little blighters to germinate - they are very finicky.

Try adding a teaspoonful of Bovril. That will change the colour to something soupier and add some meaty flavour.

Actually, the green soup was fine as it was.

Breakfast though, was not more soup. Instead, a pork sausage chopped into little bits and stirred through scrambled eggs.

2nd meal will be the soup with some buckwheat noodles cooked in it.

That reminds me of the time I wanted my mushroom soup smooth and after blending it was a disgusting horrible colour. Even though nothing wrong with soup I couldn't eat it because of grey colour.
