Well the New Year has made me determined to try and eat a
little more healthily. So I got up this morning and dutifully prepared a cup of
turmeric tea, my latest fad after hearing all about the benefits of turmeric on
Jeremy Vine. It consists of boiling water, a teaspoon of turmeric powder (which
is a lot), lemon juice, honey and a very strong will to get it down your
throat. It doesn’t taste too bad, but it isn’t a nice morning Merlot either and
I really need to add black pepper to get the full benefit of the magic. Adding
pepper increases the power of the turmeric a hundred-fold apparently, but black
pepper with honey and lemon first thing in the morning - surely the turmeric is enough of a punishment for my previous excess of excessiveness?
Maybe next week.
I prepared a breakfast of fresh fruit (2 types of melon,
fresh pineapple and grapes - in solid form for once), porridge, tea, and waited
for MCW to put in an appearance. How pleased she would be to find breakfast on
the table awaiting her, I could hardly wait. Well, the porridge was too thick
and hot (so sorry that I boiled the milk), the fruit too cold (well, it did come
out of the fridge) and the tea just a little too milky. I blame the bloody cows
for that. How dare they make MCW’s milk so milky? Besides she didn’t ask for it
anyway and toast would have been better as long as I didn't over-brown or over-butter it.
As I whispered small terms of secret endearment about her whilst
washing up the breakfast things, a startling and radical thought occurred to me. Maybe I should leave her to get her own
bloody breakfast. At least that way she would get something she could bloody well eat
without bloody moaning.
Yes, MCW isn't really a morning person.
Perhaps I should make her a nice cup of turmeric tea
instead.
