Day 17: Dinner
6:45pm Instant hot chocolate (40 calories)
I feel a cold coming on.
9:45pm Tomatoes, veg and pulses and dumplings + pint of squash
My regular concoction, this time made with tinned stir-fry vegetables (bean sprouts, baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, celery and carrot), red kidney beads and split lentils. The lentils were an after-thought and helped thicken the stew. Served with a little olive oil and yoghurt.

Eaten slowly, with a teaspoon.
