It’s definitely salad time at the moment. I can’t face going near my oven. With Father’s day fast approaching though, I feel I will be baking some chocolate treat very soon.
My diet this week so far has mainly been salads, smoothies and fresh fruit. After the indulgence of the week-end, it’s not a bad thing either.
Can’t believe what just happened. I had to kick a fox out of my garden! I have seen some before at night or early morning but rarely during the day. My poor kitten was less than a meter away from the fox. They were having a staring contest by the look of it. I am just glad it didn’t attack him. I resulted to shouting and clapping but the fox didn’t seem that impressed so decided to stop at the back of the garden. I had to throw my son’s ball at him for him to go. It took me 2 attempts to throw the ball anywhere near him. I am such a girl! Poor little cat has now made it back home and is staying close to me. Bless him.
Back to my salad: it makes a great quick lunch. I added an avocado, some chickpeas, tomatoes, a bit of vegan pesto and a drizzle of the lemony dressing. I also used it as a filling for a sandwich with some spicy hummus. Yum.
