I’m Ready!

The long weekend is coming.

I’m ready for it.

With every breath, with every fiber of my being, I’m ready.

Time to kick back and do… other.

True Confessions ~

I never ate a butter bean until this week.  Thank you, Chef Oliver.

I won’t lie. Cooking three new recipes a day for Jamie Oliver’s 5-Day Veggie Challenge has kicked my butt. Pics posted on Instagram here.

That being said, I’m glad we did it. G-Man surprised me. All I heard all week was Mm. This is gooood. Grunt. Not what I expected. The food was vibrant, varied, and satisfying. I didn’t cook all the recipes… yet. This was due to scheduling and leftovers. The portions were generous, and I didn’t want anything to go to waste. The only recipe I didn’t and won’t be trying is a curry. We’re just not into it.

Any substitutions made were all vegetarian. We stayed true to the 5-day challenge. Because this was so much fun, I’m planning to continue with 3-4 vegetarian days each week. But sometimes I just want my fish, poultry, and a good pork tenderloin.

Here be Friday.

You know what to do. Meet you in the bar in 3…2…1…

Happy weekend, y’all.

And if you’re in Canada, Happy Long Victoria Day Weekend!

Because of the Monday holiday, posting will resume on Tuesday.
