Zuccini (corgette) waistline diminisher.

Filed under: Recipes — helen @ 11:51 pm

Low fat or low carb? Which is the way to podge busting heaven?

This little dish I just invented is both. And it’s a taste sensation.

Serves 1 or 2.

You need a non stick pan.

1 Onion and some garlic (sliced)

1 big zuccini (grated)

Big hand full of grated Mozzarella cheese - its a low fat cheese.

Pinenuts

Black olives

Herbs (preferably fresh but dried thyme, basil or any Italian style herbs are fine)

Gently dry saute the onion and garlic.

When the onion starts to get a bit too dry throw in the grated zuccini which will release moisture.

When it looks soft (a couple of minutes) top it with grated mozzarella, pinenuts, black olives and herbs.

Put the pan under the grill until the mozzarella has just melted and welded it all together.

Let it cool a bit and serve!

Warm Globing

Filed under: Out and About in London — helen @ 10:07 pm

We’ve been to the Globe 3 times this year, cos it it THE best night out in London.

For only 5 quid you can stand in the pit, which is definitely the best place to be. You can see and hear everything and often part of the performance actually takes place down in the pit. The actors also make little gestures to the “groundlings” when ever they mention poverty or the ‘lower classes’. Heheh, Shakey knew how to work the crowd that’s for sure.

We saw Othello, the Merchant of Venice and Love’s Labour’s Lost. Love’s Labour’s Lost is a total ‘filler episode’ in Shakespear - season 1; although they had a lot of bawdy fun with it. But Othello is a multiple brain orgasm of wit and intrigue. And the M of V is clever and relevant even today.

The Globe is a magic place.
