Meal 48 - June 2nd - Sweet Naughty Beginning
There's a shop in the UK called Lakeland, which some people (specifically their marketing/branding people and Lolz, who bought a fancy citrus zester from them the other day) say is the home of creative kitchenware. Others would say it's home of pointless crap which clutters your kitchen. I stand somewhere in the middle, but some five years or so ago I came across, via Lakeland, a toastie bag which at the time I thought was the most genius invention ever. It meant you could basically make a regular sandwich, put it into the bag, and then toast it in a regular toaster to create an authentic toastie! Genius. My awe of the product was however mitigated by the fact that I had not had a toastie prior to this for a good ten years. Back then we used to have cheddar and pineapple toasties, which I seem to remember being a formative part of my upbringing. The reality is these toastie bags merely toast the bread and heat it's contents - a lazy man's replica of the genuine article.

White Super Smoothie
Meal 35 - April 14th - White Super Smoothie
After a rather energetic Saturday which involved building a new flat pack wardrobe, going for a run and of course cooking a rather impressive 15 minute meal, I was looking forward to a rather lazy Sunday of watching football and golf. So it was rather unfortunate that Lolz had planned an afternoon trip to Westfield Shopping Centre for us, and had specifically mentioned the labour intensive possibility of buying shoes and jeans. Good times were certainly in store...

Super Smoothie - Green
Meal 12 - Feb 3rd - Green Super Smoothie
Not really a meal but if it's in the book it's in the blog. To be honest I'm not really a fan of smoothies and the combination of spinach and banana, amongst other things, did not look appealing. Still, I knocked it up in about 15 seconds and gave it a go...
Taste wise, the smoothie is a pleasant surprise. The spinach, despite making it look a rather toxic green, is a fairly neutral flavour and overpowered by the apple juice, lime and banana. Unfortunately however, Lolz tends to take offence to banana and gave it a mere 3/10.
