Day 4 - Live Below The Line

This has to be pretty quick because I'm doing the evening shift at the Diner. Yes, the diner where I work, where they serve juicy delicious burgers, where I can eat for free. Where I will be taking my plastic tub of rice and vegetables to heat up in the kitchen microwave for my dinner. Sigh.

Anyway, today I feel physically much better than yesterday. And I feel like I've hit my stride with this challenge. Shame it ends tomorrow. I will have to think hard on what my last Live Below The Line meal will be. And what to have for breakfast on Saturday morning.

I was very pleased with my tomato and rice soup. I just pushed a tin of tomatoes through a sieve, added a tin of water, a tablespoon of tomato puree and a pinch of dried basil. Cooked it for 5 minutes over a medium heat, then added a large handful of rice and simmered for 10/12 minutes until the rice was tender. The result was tasty and filling.

What I ate today:

Breakfast: Plain porridge, an orange, hot water with lemon. (anyone noticing a pattern here?)

Lunch: Tomato soup with rice, carrot sticks.

Dinner: Rice and vegetables. (no photo, sorry)

Off to work now.

(ps. I had a costume fitting this morning and was offered tea and a sandwich and many biscuits which I declined. Yay me.)
