I am pretty comfortable with twice weekly fasting now. Last week we went to Hobart and had a counter tea with friends. I fasted. I had a miso soup at Ross and then a rocket salad with roast lamb for dinner and NO WINE. That was the only slightly hard bit as everyone else was enjoying a good red. Still, I felt great that I had managed to stick with it.
Today I don't feel at all hungry. I have forgone the Miso soup. I wonder if Summer has started to kick in, although it's quite cool today.
We are eating out of the garden: the last of the root crops, carrots, parsnips and beetroot; asparagus; spinach; broccoli; lettuce; snow peas and soon broad beans.
And I have the new book by Matthew Evans, the Gourmet Farmer. I have started making various dairy products. I made clotted cream and more successfully creme fraiche. My next venture is cultured butter. I have just bought a litre of Ashgrove 100% cream and I'm going to make my first batch of butter. Interesting.The plan is to progress to ricotta cheese, mascapone and various other soft cheese. Red Cow Dairy are having an open day soon and I can go to a workshop about making cheese. Trouble is, it clashes with the National Theatre's Othello at the CMAX, so now I don't know what to do. Othello might win over cheese.
I'm not hungry, I said, but I'm thinking about food a lot. Planning to make a carrot cake in an effort to use up all the carrots I harvested from the tomato-to-be bed.
Life is good.
