Ration Challenge Day One


I got up and made my take on flatbread. I couldn't be bothered with kneading and rolling so made a sloppy mix of the plain flour and water and poured it into a pan with a smidge of the oil. Just a sprinkle of grated cheese topped it off. Then the first cup of tea (black) from the daily tea bag. Seemed fine. But I suspect the novelty will wear off. David chose rice for breakfast which he often enjoys but usually with milk and sultanas. I cooked a sloppy batch of watery rice as a sort of soup (thanks for the tip, Grace) and a batch of lentils into soup; no garlic, onion, celery, carrot etc but a bit of grated pumpkin from the allowance and some of Jack's carefully grown, dried and minced chili. (Jack is nearly 9.)
Tea had to be quick in between a dentist visit (ouch to the hip pocket) and child minding duties so I chose to make rice with half a can of beans and two small leaves of silverbeet from the garden but as part of our allotted vegetable extra. It's light (20g) and colorful.
For supper we shared an apple from our 'treat' for the week.
Only 6 days to go and it seems fine but watch this space...
