I am likely taking in a lot of calories. I use butter for the cooking and I am getting through it at a fair whack. As I said yesterday I think- there is a lot of cheese too.
But Hot water- That's mad, it was also all I could think of that I would be able to have at my Mum's house. It tasted almost as good as herbal tea at least which makes you think. Maybe all I like is the hot water.
I used the Split peas in place of lentils and the recipie worked very well- I've made that before and I think it might have been better with split peas. Funny colour though.
...because lentils don't grow in the UK. The Idea is that for the season of Lent- the next 40 days- I will try and just eat and drink things that come from the UK. Not just processed here but grown here. So this blog will say what I am eating and log my trials and tribulations. If I eat/drink something from outwith the UK I will commit to giving £1 a time to one of the charities I support.

The Reasons...
1. Its Lent and its traditional to give up something.
2. Too much of our food travels too far. It might be most people's biggest contributor to their carbon footprint.
3. Think Global- Eat local.
