Lettuce is not my favourite food but I have to admit that popping to the plot every day for just enough leaves for lunch is a pleasant experience to twist off the roots and wash and dry the leaves.
The flat leaved lettuce is called ROMAINE BALLON but me thinks it has to develop a heart.
Everyone needs a heart. The crinkly leaved one is Batavia.
Breakfast was two slices of holey chia bread with apricot jam and tea, Later was little coffee and one square chocolate.
Lunch was salad with lettuce, radish, cherry tomatoes, olive with almond, pickled garlic, unsalted pistachios, conference pear, cheese, vinaigrette followed by cherry and yoghurt pancake. It was delicious.
Two hours of active listening is hard work PLUS a very hard day sitting at the computer screen, translating English to French, editing out repeats, ensuring grammar is OK as i have a weird thing of dyslexia where phrases get muddled. The letter is about my need for explanation of calculations from the Tax Office but because of various events in tbe last year ir broaches their errors. I want clarity as I am tired spending so much time every year in stress and anxiety about it. I had a face to face meeting in February but the chap insisted a different contentious issue where I knew I was not wrong! I need trust and confidence in these experts but in the last ten years i have too many examples of errors!
Gorgeous it was to spend time in the garden tying up tomato plants - giving tiny sweetpeas a cane each! - planting out butternut squash seedlings, which I hope grow as they have become a bit stunted - and weeding. The redstarts kept fluttering at me!
The evening meal was tuna cooked this morning as i have no fridge and it had thawed overnight. Served on a bed of pasta sauce (from a jar), with sautéed steamed blette with sweet potato in its jacket baked yesterday and reheated-all cooked in one pan with lid. Delicious.
