We’re not huge fans of salad, or at least of the lettuce-ish variety; however, recently I’ve been making us a raw vegetable based luncheon a few days a week, on the basis that I eat too many carbs, and we could both do with more fresh veg. Mostly, it is some combination of cucumber, spring…

tuna and kidney bean salad
I put a stack of kidney beans into to soak on Thursday night, and boiled them up in the slow cooker on Friday. I really do recommend slow cookers for beans – they don’t fill the kitchen with steam, they don’t need topping up, the beans don’t stick. On Saturday, I made a tuna and…
what to do with leftover kebab
We don’t as, as a rule, eat takeaway food. It’s cheap here in Hull, but it’s not terribly good for diabetics 🙂 But we did have a kebab on Saturday night. Now, this is not the sort of kebab you get from the corner van, that smells so inviting when you’re on your way home…

lunchtime salad
A warm May day in Somerset, so we rummaged in the fridge and larder, and concocted a salad: Red pepper, borlotti beans, spring onions, shredded cabbage, cucumber, feta cheese, walnut oil, tamari, lemon juice, packet of seeds. Accompanied by pitta bread lightly toasted, then cut into strips. Just the job.
