Challenging Myself: Ration Challenge

Ration Challenge - Day Two

This is my breakfast ... rice and a second cup of hot water. I must admit to liking hot water, I never thought I would, but if I had the choice between it and a cup of coffee ... I think the coffee would still win.

This is going to be my new best friend this week. It managed to make my breakfast while I had a shower and got dressed. With no shouts of "do you want one slice of toast or two" from Alan interrupting my precious me time. Would I swap my rice cooker for Alan, well maybe just for this week 🤣😄😀

While I ate breakfast, my teatime portion of rice cooled down ready to be put into the fridge. It all seems to be rice at the moment!!

Yesterday's lunch wasn't though.

I had a bowl of my Lentil and Cumin soup and three little freshly made flatbreads. John Gray says it looks like 'mud water', unfortunately I have to agree, although the flavour isn't too bad.

I was supposed to be making some Dhal to go with my teatime rice but I ran out of energy and just ate it as it was before packing up my rations and heading off to the Van.

Once there I was supposed to be putting some chickpeas to soak ready to turn into hummus and falafel for today ... but I didn't do that either!! So today I am making Dhal and tonight I'll be putting chickpeas to soak and I have a post-it to remind me 🙂

Your flat breads look lovely, I do hope the soup tasted good, visually it does kind of look like "mud water" as John Gray would say.

God bless.

It sounds like you have a good plan. I hope your lentils were enjoyable. They always taste better than they look when cooked from scratch.

Wow - you have made some very basic stuff look quite appetising (maybe apart from the soup!)

I read all comments ... thank you for taking the time to write them, I will try and answer any questions you might have.

Why .....

I love a Challenge ... with a big C ... I always have. Why would anyone take the easy road when you can take a swervey, rocky and much more interesting one ... and actually learn something about yourself on the journey.

The idea of this blog is to chart some of my Challenges over the course of the next year or so. Some might last the distance and teach me something along the way, some might be serious and perhaps even a tad inspirational.

Some might just fizzle and die a remarkably quick death. I've been known to leave things unfinished ...

Challenging Myself is my blog.

I use it to chart the Challenges I set myself and what I do day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.

In it I also express my views and opinions and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. All saved for posterity ... and to amuse myself in my grand old age.

If you chose to copy or follow along with anything that I do or talk about doing, it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques that I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.
