Meal 51 - June 15th - Incredibly Delicious Chicken Salad
Regular readers of my blog may be wondering why it's been almost two weeks since my last post. Have I become lazy? Have I succumbed to the temptations of the chippie down the road? Have I fallen victim to some gruesome food processor related accident? Well no (well, strictly, I have succumbed to the chippie a couple of times), I have been away on a business/pleasure trip to Northern Ireland. Without digressing from the main point of my blog for too long, I will quickly say that it is a beautiful part of the world and Belfast, amongst all the other many things it has going for it, is home to the Ginger Bistro - one of the best and least pretentious restaurants I have been to in a long time. Somehow, over the course of the 6 days I was away, I managed to consume seven cooked breakfasts. Not only that, but on Sunday I am due to be taking part in the 55 mile London to Brighton cycle ride . To successfully complete the ride I would have to conquer the gruelling Ditchling Beacon - a 4 km slog up a winding country road to the third highest point in the South Downs. It's not quite the Tour de France but something healthy would definitely be required.

Sticky Kicking Chicken, Watermelon Radish Salad and Crunchy Noodles
Meal 47 - June 1st - Sticky Kicking Chicken, Watermelon Radish Salad and Crunchy Noodles
Although I would never claim to be any kind of technological pioneer, I must say that I was surprised with the number of "cook your way through a cook book" type blogs that exist on the internet. Probably the most famous, which I have only discovered since starting this challenge, is that belonging to Julie Powell. She apparently cooked her way through Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in 2002. The blog does not appear to exist any more, but has been made famous by the movie "Julie and Julia". I haven't seen the movie but since learning of it I have been pondering various things. How, for instance, did she manage to eat all 524 dishes that she cooked? Was she eating Beef Bourguignon for breakfast? Did she have someone to do her washing up after her? Who will play me in a movie when Hollywood come calling?
