Necessity and Invention

For my wife's daily salad fix at work I too often rely on the easy green leaves, toms, walnut and cucumber with a tiny bottle of homemade dressing (as well as liking salad she is always - like all too many women - focused on her weight, and if you look at cheaty bottles from the shops they nearly all have sugar high on the ingredients list). Day before yesterday that wasn't an option, everything in the list bar walnuts having run out here, so I had to do a bit of quick footwork. Some leftover rice; slivers of ginger; orange segments sans skin; and a small amount of orange pepper: lovely colours, flavour enhanced with a knife-tip of cinnamon and some salt, the lot dressed with olive oil and a slice of lemon. How healthy.

I had a pie.
