Living Below the Line - Day 3

DAY 3
Two posts today - unheard of for me!

There have been lots of opportunities to talk to people about what we are doing and it does start some interesting conversations. We are missing that 'grazing' of being able to go to the fruit bowl or cupboard to nibble at something. It has made us wonder how it must be to go to a cupboard in a place of extreme poverty and see nothing to feed the family.

Breakfast was the same as Day 1 with the porridge.

Lunch Vegetable Soup and Oat Biscuits
Made some soup with a little left over cooked green peas, carrot, rice, wild garlic bulbs and onion all cooked together and then whizzed it.
Made oat biscuits with oat flour, a little oil, and some of the soup to make a dough. Then I rolled it out and dry fried it in a frying pan.

Supper  Carrot and Cabbage Curry and Rice
3 large carrots, chopped
1 1/2 onions, chopped
2tbsp tomato puree
1/4 cabbage, chopped
Bunch of wild garlic greens, chopped
Oil
Salt
Curry spices

Cook onions in a little oil until soft, add tomato puree and curry spice and cook 2 mins.
Add carrots and some water, cook gently. Meanwhile cook the rice.
When rice is ready add the cabbage and wild garlic greens to the carrot curry and cook till tender. Serve with rice.
