Carbs are not the enemy...

Soo after reading that to achieve Gwyneth Paltrow's thighs you essentially have to live off a diet of pureed vegetables with the occasional half turkey breast thrown in, I presume to prevent you from fainting, I am filled with despair! The 'Tracy Anderson method' is not genius, its just starvation... Then after being told to 'gain a bit of perspective annie you're not on tv' i remember my love for food and that life probably wouldn't be worth living without carbs, what would be the point i ask thee? 

So a yummy tasty and nutritious lunch I followed this near breakdown with and would recommend consisted of half an onion fried lightly with garlic, celery and carrots and a bit of cumin and curry powder and half a can of baked beans with a piece of whole meal toast and sprinkled with some fresh coriander. Filled me up and made me happy and have me ENERGY something that a diet of no carbs would drain you of... 

Who knew rhubarb could be so delicious?

Brought some rhubarb out of curiosity for the first time today and it has given me a whole new perspective on pudding...

Popped in in a pan with the juice and zest of half a big orange, a covering of boiling water and a big spoon of honey, let it simmer for about 20 mins till all soft and melty and served it hot with natural yoghurt it was very yummy and like a proper pudding and pretty healthy. Useful for someone like me who always needs a sweet fix after dinner and super easy! Ahh rhubarb you hidden beauty you...

1st ever blog...

I take quite a lot of comfort in knowing that it is HIGHLY unlikely that this will be seen by any other human eyes. It can be just a little practice to see where this is all going to go and to find out how annoying my internal voice in fact is. . .


So the ideas behind this blog I suppose are creating a space to explore / discuss / share thoughts and events and ideas or concerns about anything and everything. About things that are happening in London today, where you can get great food, or find hidden treasures, whats happening in the art world, the celeb world, tasty recipes, fun ways to exercise, whats on tv, where to buy, what to buy, where to travel, what to see...   At present this is just between me and cyber space and I don't wish to bore the cyber with boring information about my life but that doesn't mean to say that mundane information is not welcomed here! If anyone is listening please don't be afraid to tell me what you cooked for dinner... 


This is odd I love to send rambled emails but am self-consious about babbling to heavily in my first ever blog! 


I will write again if I have something mildly interesting to say...
