Hows it going peeps??? I walked into the co op and remembered about the challenge and walked out again. Luckily I've not had meat today so I'm ok so far!

Well we have made a massive mixed chunky vegetable/bean/lentil soup, which I have just had a small bowl of, and it was very good. It will be the evening meal along with home made bread (care of Amipest). We do have left over chicken, but hopefulyl the kids will finished that, so I can be squeaky clean for the week.

Had summer vegetable quiche last night with fresh new potatoes (from the garden), courgettes roastd with mushrooms, garlic and chilli. Was very nice. Unfortunately I slipped on both counts at lunchtime, today, by going to Tescos for a BLT

but I'm now flogging myself thoroughly as I type. In my defence I didn't even realise that today was August 1st! Where does it all go?
Anyways, I'll endeavor to be more 'on the ball' from now on.

Surely if you slip up then you shouldn't be rewarding yourself?

I see now, I always thought your avatar was Kenny from Southpark, but it's actually you in a gimp mask!

Well todays effort is going to be some form a vegetable ravioli, based on whatever is in the weekly veg box. Should be interesting, as I do tend to regard home made pasta making as a bit too much like hard work So I am well out of practice.

Why not do rolled up pancakes with the veg stuffing instead? Much faster than making pasta.

Because so many things like pasta should not *always* be rejected as they are hard work, and perhaps I will be quicker today.

You SO need an allotment. What with those kids sitting around just waiting to be made to work the land, you REALLY ought to get one

i was thinking of going veggie for a week, and wondered if anyone else fancied virtually joining in?

I did a week earlier in the year and felt it was really beneficial, but not enough of the lessons stuck.

So definately overdue for another no meat week.

I'm up for it - been eating chicken and homemade burgers sausages for a year now nd after dispatches haven't touched any. Will now wait for our own stock.

Today I am mostly eating......................???????

Thank goodness this is a meat free week*.

* Sorry but I couldn't resist the comments, at least I didn't make any reference to tackling a marrow.

I think this should stop now. Still a long time to go 'til Friday!
