So we’re into week 34 of Meatless Monday…

My week in 4:

It was 6 years ago on my weekend retreat to the Global Retreat Centre in Oxfordshire (which I would recommend to anyone btw) that I finally found out what the translation of Namaste was – it was such a revelation, such a beautiful greeting that it stayed with me ever since. I am a massive yoga fan and love the philosophy behind it all too and this is just the tip of the iceberg but I wanted to share it with you nonetheless. Fundamentally it’s focussing on the similarities of the human condition rather than the differences, that everyone is just a light within a human skin who wants to be loved. Just a quiz I did for fun this week but it was actually quite insightful – so I thought I would share so you can do it with your friend and family too…this was my result. Frigging genius idea! Why is this not standard in all car parks… I’m hugely into green technology and saving the planet for future generations in every way possible… I definitely think there are a lot more places which we could implement solar power collection, ideally in already built up areas, on top of all roofs, but what a brilliant idea for a car park, especially when people can never find shade in the sun to park in, love how this idea kills two birds with one stone. Still on the fence however about solar farms – not sure how I feel about filling fields with solar panels, I would much rather see crops – what do you guys think? This was in my news feed this week and was just too darn cute not to share…What would your caption be?

Right on to food…

Breakfast:

Lovely fresh seeded toast with lurpak and set honey spread thick (naughty but I don’t even care – gave me good energy to get through the morning) and my usually fresh lemon, honey and ginger

Lunch:

Packed lunch meze along with a caramel bar and fresh melon as my fruit. I just love cantaloupe melon, it was always my Grandma’s favourite too so it always makes me think of her and it’s just so delicious.

Dinner:

I was in Lidl food shopping this week and thought I would see what their veggie selection was… this is one of the things I picked out, Linda McCartney’s vegetarian sausages…though actually it has to be said I wasn’t blown away by the taste and my veggie friend has since informed me that only newbie veggie’s buy this brand and quorn make a far superior veggie sausage (one to try later). Anyway I went with it and did something I would usually do with meat sausages, fry off in a frying pan and then add bake beans. It was edible, not sure I would do it again, but it was fine. I got peckish half way through the cooking process and so had our last back of wotsits – which in my defence are one of the lowest calorie counts of any crisps 😉
