La Grande Bouffe - Dairy Delights :-(

I've been on a dairy 'trip' for the past few weeks.

Blue cheese no less, then ice cream. Chocolate trifles and rice puddings.

A certain amount of despair accompanied these meals.

Then finally I had food poisoning.

Cleared the system and gradually been getting my act back together. First with the occasional beetroot/apple/celery/carrot juice and some Big Tom spicy tomato juices.

Even had one of my mega-salads yesterday - in mini-format.

And today - eureka! - a new recipe.

Imperfect but better.

Once you get ill and you get too tired, it takes nearly all day to clear the previous day's cooking debris, and then you just want to rest rather than start preparing the next meal. I'm too tired to eat after all that. So I'm looking for snacks. Hummous with carrots still does it for me - but the thought of scrubbing the carrots put me off. I long for a proper decent tall fridge and a dish washer.

Have discovered hummous is rather nice with slices of apple!

And in spite of my despair over the amount of dairy I had reintroduced into my diet, it was good stuff and I did notice there was a progression from one 'fix' to another. So perhaps my body really did want these things.
