Day 28: Hello home(stretch)

Don't think I even woke up when my friend left at 4.30am.  Bad form, perhaps.  I don't know, the weeks knock it out of me, and I need my weekends to catch up. [I am getting old..?!]

More surprisingly was that by the time I woke up (only around 10, not at all outrageous for a Sunday), no one else was in the flat.  So I made a quick coffee and made my way to Kings Cross.  Just wanted to get home really.

"Brunch"

Steered clear of the breakfast foods in the station - it appears impossible to get a veggie non-sugar non-grain breakfast - and went straight in for the lunch option.  It was 12 anyway, so not entirely inappropriate.

Picked up:

• Salad: broccoli, chilli, pepper, lettuce, chard, tomatoes, mixed herbs, roasted seeds, seasoning
• Roasted falafel (chick peas, onion, chick pea flour, olive oil, water, garlic, lemon juice, salt, bicarb soda, coriander, cumin, parsley, pepper

The more awake of you will recall this from my last trip back from London.

Spent the train journey producing my detailed schedule for the Leeds International Film Festival.  And James' too.

Didn't even attempt to find anything worth consuming on the train.

Got back and extended my "brunch" to include:

Cheeky smoothie:

• Frozen mixed berroes
  
• 1 scoop Kinetica whey (Vanilla)
• ~200ml coconut milk
• dash of water 
• crushed mixed nuts on top 

Spent the afternoon attempting to make the house look presentable (ahem, downstairs at least), as Freddie's potential new Mum (+ girlfriend!!) were coming round to check him out.  The meeting went well.  Freddie will be packing his bags, it seems..

"Yah hi. Talk to me."

Just for the record this is Freddie, he is our current foster, for Hope Rescue.

[I am not, in other words, selling off my children to ladies that come to visit]

Tea

Thought I had plenty of time to come up with something for tea.  Turns out I didn't really.  Well, that and I wanted a little sit down (ie something easy).

Went for (post dog walk):

Butternut squash gnocchi: butternut squash, egg, coconut flour, tapioca, almond meal, salt, sage; tossed in olive oil with crispy sage and red onion

Bed of peas and broccoli with carrot and courgette 'noodles' (loving that julienne peeler!)

Fried egg

'Creamy' sauce (stock, thyme, oregano, basil, sundried tomatoes, olive oil, coconut milk, a little coconut flour, seasoning)

Yeah yeah yeah I did the gnocchi on Monday.  But I told you!-its well good!  And I changed it up a little.  I like the gnocchi a little more fried as well.  Only screw up: my egg went a bit mental.  Still ate it.  Still tasted like egg..

Egg on face.
