changelingI've just had a wonderful lunch – my version of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
fatfreevegan's Broccoli Rice Salad with Sesame-Ginger Dressing. Mine had more actual salad leaves in it – S—— and I are on Dr Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live diet, and the thrust is "The salad is the dish". He encourages the consumption of as much dark green leafy veges as possible. The crux of it all is that you should get as much nutrition per calorie as possible. I term it "Vegan Boot Camp", but it isn't very difficult for S—— and I as it's only a little different from what we normally eat.
So anyway, I've just had this wonderful salad – I'm definitely going to make my version again – and then I finished off with a little orange-scented cupcake. I didn't end up making my fairy cakes yesterday. I ran out of time. I'm making them today, ostensibly for S—— and my friendship anniversary (I met her on the Winter Solstice three years ago). I created the recipe myself, and my god they're heavenly. I'm so pleased! I haven't put the filling on yet, or cut the tops off. I learnt from last time I made fairy cakes that you really have to let them cool right down before doing the wings. And of course I've been having lunch!
What a successful food day. I'm just thrilled to bits!
