A mandarin, orange and raspberry smoothie
Daytime
Went to the farmer’s market that is held at our local church every couple of months. Great selection of vegetables and some nice local lamb plus some fish.
Home made borsch (beetroot soup)
Bunch of beetroot with tops of leaves removed, cut in half
Put in a big casserole and a cup of water added
Add a couple of bay leaves, shake of paprika, salt and pepper
Boil for 15 minutes to get the flavours going.
Add a litre of water and boil for another 15 mins.
Add a small sprig of fennel top roughly chopped (adds a nice aniseed tinge)
Blitz with a hand blender and serve with a few sprigs of fennel top – if I had some crème fresh I’d add a dollop of that but it doesn’t feature in the list of good things to have.
Played a full game of rugby (a 0-0 draw – better than England at least)
Eve Meal
Grilled red mullet with vegetables form the farmer’s market
Sprinkle the mullet with lemon and sea salt and grill for 5 mins each side
Served with boiled new potatoes, lemon chard, green beans and some daikon radish marinated in white wine vinegar
A bottle of Rioja red wine
Pros – loads of veg and fish, homemade soup
Cons – breakfast (or lack of it)
