Frozen vs fresh
And so with all recent excitement of booking my ski holiday and countless late nights of insomnia, I am feeling exceptionally tired, but tireless, if that makes sense? Today everything seemed rather surreal, and in the shops this evening I thought I may even possibly have been asleep. I was wondering that if I ever was to have children and be kept up late tending to them for weeks/months on end, would it feel like this perhaps?…Well, I may be running myself down with lack of sleep, but I certainly won’t be accused of eating (too) badly. I managed to come home via the supermarket this evening with a trolley full of mostly fresh fruit and have just invented a delicious smoothie containing the following:
- small handful of fresh blueberries
- small handful of fresh blackberries
- small handful of fresh raspberries
- two kiwi fruit
- two small pots of Actimel yoghurt (mixed fruit flavour)
- one clementine
This makes approx. 1 pint of smoothie.
All the fresh berries were rather expensive but the difference to frozen fruit in taste…..WOW! The frozen variety is handy though and has its place.
Continuing with the cooking theme… I’ve just finished making a chicken and root vegetable soup which has also turned out rather nicely if I may say so.Have just tested my blender’s “puree” function to finish it off :).
