      If you asked me what I miss about meat you would receive a very long and convoluted answer. It’s quite likely that the explanation would leave you more baffled than you were to begin with. I have the unfortunate tendency to take after my mother and provide long-winded stories that leave the listener looking slightly vacant with a dazed expression and glazed over eyes. Most of the time this ‘habit’ is because I want to completely clarify a point, yet in doing so I provide far too much, and often irrelevant, information. This post is an attempt to practice ‘taming’ this deplorable trait.

I made that mistake the other night and it took a lot of willpower to get up and put the leftovers in the fridge. Even then I couldn’t help sneaking an extra few mouthfuls. In the end I guess it isn’t too serious a crime if you eat more than you really should – it’s healthy to a tee. The kind of dish that makes you ‘glow’ afterwards. Continue reading →
