Friday's fast went well. I took a little piece of brioche, it was too tempting to resist, but not enough to blow over my fast.
During the weekend I did another pulled pork but not with the same piece of meat. This time it was with a roast, boneless and easier to manage for my slow cooker. It was a bit dry but was way juicier the day after. I let it sit in the juices overnight and boy oh boy that made a difference
With the leftovers, after I gave a bit to all my fury children (and they are 5), I did another quiche without crust but I change my recipe for it. I put 3 egg in the blender with 250 ml of milk, one spoon of cream, 2 of self raising flour, salt and pepper and whiz it all. On the stove I cooked 1 onion and some spinach, enough to let all the water go. In a buttered dish I put the spinach and onion, add the potatoes and the pulled pork leftovers, the eggs mixture and add some cheese on top. I put that in the oven for 35 min (until golden brown) and it was amazing.... The good news is that it freezes well so I have some for the next month 
I also did an apples and pears compote but I found it a bit too runny so I need to work on that.
I enjoy cooking these days. I love too look for recipes inspiration and try to mix up things. I did a cauliflower/blonde lentils soup in my slow cooker by "accident" once and I am looking forward to try it again but not this week, I need to eat some other veg this week (had it on 2 of my fasts last week). I also need to find recipe with oven cooked chickpeas that could be use on a fast day. I tend to not have a lot of proteins and it needs to change.
I didn't feel that excited about fasts and food for quite some time. It's refreshing.
