I have to share this with you. This meal is my lunch/dinner everyday. I only seem to eat one meal a day so I like to make it good.

This lunch is amazing, quick, simple and you need very few ingredients: Perfect during the winter months.

1 litre vegetable stock. The way the meal is cooked means you have loads left over, I tend to save it for the next day.
I use this stuff although mines the vegan version (oher!) Its fantastic stuff, I had it in my cupboard for two years before I started using it in nearly every meal! (It makes the best risotto ever!)

Egg Noodles
Broccoli
Spring Onions
Pretty much any veg you like really. I use these two as they’re easily available to me!

Other things that if you have then thats great but you can leave them out.
Garlic
Chilli
Soy Sauce

Step 1:
Chop your veg and Mix your stock in a jug.

Step 2: (optional)
Put a touch of oil in your saucepan and add garlic and chilli, cook until it smells nice.

Step 3:
Add the stock to the saucepan and wait until its at a rolling boil, then add the noodles and veg. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the noodles are cooked.

Step 4:
Drain the mixture into a jug and place the noodles in your bowl. Measure out 300ml of the stock and add a dash of soy sauce, mix it up and pour over the noodles.

Step 5:
Devour.

I’m sure you could work out a way of adding meat to this dish, but I’m pretty much a vegetarian so I haven’t tried!

The best part of this meal is that I picked the broccoli myself, from manfriends fields!

Recently I’ve been coming across some interesting websites either on stumble or just through general browsing, for example I found this link (NSFW!) through the b3ta newsletter earlier.

I personally find the content to be fascinating, in both good and bad ways, but I’m not here to debate the ethics of photographing naked women who are high on heroin!

In regards to stumble I ‘like’ something if its funny or it makes me laugh but there are those times where you find an article that is interesting to you and you do ‘like’ it, but not in the way that you would click ‘I like this’. After all, if I did click it then I could very well end up with other similar websites cropping up in my stumbles in the future and its not like that particular website is full of documentry, journalism or topical issues!

What sort of things do you like when you stumble?

One of the gifts manfriend gave me was a 1950’s copy of Mrs Beetons Household management! It still has its dust cover, which I’m told makes it quite rare. All I know is that its fascinating to read!

The book tells you the origins of the Sunday Roast and how to prepare high tea including what should be on the menu. Mrs Beeton talks about picnics and gives you a list of what to take for a picnic of 40 people! I’d love to get 40 people to come to a Mrs Beeton’s picnic!

I love the adverts in the covers too!
