rainy days and mondays

Feeling definitely below par today. Too much garlic kept me awake half the night (more on that in a moment) and my poor back is just getting worse and worse. My sacro-iliac joint has felt out of alignment all week and I see a trip to the chiropractor in my future. For now though a restorative yoga sequence to just keep that lower back moving.

Repeat ad infinitum!

The weather today and yesterday has been pretty below par for the last two days. Typical British Bank Holiday weather, windy and rainy. I guess we were lucky we had such a great day on Saturday!

Yesterday the whole family came over for dinner and wine and chitter chatter and games of Articulate and Uno!

I made Portabello Mushroom “Burgers” in ciabatta with salsa and goat’s cheese (for those who eat cheese!) with garlicky veggie fries. Too garlicky clearly :(

To make the fries, chop up veggies into strips – I used zucchini and sweet potatoes but I reckon pretty much anything will do. Pop them all in a tupperware with a spoonful of oil, a chopped garlic clove and a spoonful of ground flax seed and give ‘em a shake until they look like this.

Then put them on a greased baking sheet in a 180*C/Gas Mark 4 oven for 30 minutes.

Et voila. Hope the garlic doesn’t give you indigestion!

Vegan Brownies for dessert!

And the sofa and DVR awaits! :)
