40 days and 40 nights

40 days is the duration of lent. I have never thought I could actually go 40 days on any diet, but I did.
One small hiccup on day 40, though. My other half was teasing me about toast. That is, he was eating toast with ham & cheese while I was preparing salad. And just to prove a point, I did bite into his toast. Ham & cheese is of course delicious, but I chose not to eat it. I went on with my huge salad.

Day 40 was Saturday and with time on hand, I made gnocchi, which is not vegan, because it contains 1 egg.
I've written about these eggs before, and just in case you have not seen what does an organic egg look like:


It's dirty and not two are the same :)

I also blogged about gnocchi before and here is the recipe, below a few photos of the making of.



And our lunch:

Gnocchi with ramsons (wild garlic) pesto for the man

Gnocchi with vegan bolognese for me.

After lunch we went shopping and I bought a whole wardrobe of running clothes! So I guess running is a must this year! The clothes are drying on the balcony as I write and should be ready to use by afternoon :)
