I'm changing my lunch. It's that time of year. For the last load of months, my lunch has routinely been chopped up apple, celery, carrot and cherry tomatoes, all brought in to work in a litre tub, filled to the brim.
Today's concoction is apple and celery soup. And it tastes amazeballs. Who knew? A whole flask for 300 cals. Yummo! An onion, two medium apples, five big stalks of celery, a chicken stock cube and about a litre of water and my usual method of chop it roughly, throw in a pot and simmer till tender, then pulverize. Needs black pepper, but my grinder wouldn't play ball. I need a new one. And I'm sorry darlink, but we just don't do ground black pepper in the Terry/TMM household! As if!
The usual lunch.
Sometimes if I want to live it up a bit, I'll add in some peppers. Oh, the rock and roll life style I lead! As a meal, I can't honestly say that it fills me up, but it does distract me from my hunger and see me through till dinner time with TMM. It's gotten cold in Norn Irn this week, so I decided to whack it all in a pot and add a some scallions and a chicken stock cube.Yes, the apple was included. And I made a soup. I boiled it till tender and smusched it with Blendy Blenderson, my trusty hand whizzer, who I cannot live without. And pesto! (Pesto??? What a cool, appropriate typo. I meant presto obviously!) A yummy, low cal soup. It was lovely to have a hot lunch yesterday. It was also a bit more satisfying than the same ingredients, eaten chopped up, raw and cold. Today's concoction is apple and celery soup. And it tastes amazeballs. Who knew? A whole flask for 300 cals. Yummo! An onion, two medium apples, five big stalks of celery, a chicken stock cube and about a litre of water and my usual method of chop it roughly, throw in a pot and simmer till tender, then pulverize.

This pleases me muchly!
Ta da!!! My run this morning. My 5k sub thirty run this morning. Get me! In all honesty, I wanted to boke the entire final kilometer, but I did it! Now to make it official at a Parkrun. I don't think I'll get to run this Saturday, as I'm probably going to go to Mum's, but I'll do it soon. I'm going to go easy on my next couple of runs, just kick back and jog. Doing a sub 6 min km this morning nearly killed me, but I can see a day when it's the norm, so long as I keep running regularly. I've been grinning all morning.
