In praise of really great simple meals

baked beans on hot buttered toast

steamed pile of spinach and sweetcorn, lots of salt and a little curry powder.

Chicken Rice...

Rice cooked in chicken broth then topped with slices of chicken garnished with cilantro and maybe a tomato.

lately I've been doing this meal-in-a-bowl served w/bread & wine

5 cups baby spinach
handful cilantro leaves chopped
4 scallions sliced into rings
1 avocado sliced
boneless chicken breast grilled or broiled (leftover roast c works 2)

combine & dress w/juice of 1 lime and 2 tbsp olive oil, salt to taste

anything that contains avocada is hard: i can never know when it's ripe. :-(((

i mean *tell*

Somehow anything you eat while camping tastes ridiculously good. Yesterday lunch: peanut butter & jelly sandwich and apple. So good! Dinner: pita bread pizzas (sauce, cheese, veggies, pepperoni). Also spectacularly good. Breakfast: bagel with peanut butter. Heavenly.

I've tried eating pb & j indoors and it is just never as satisfying.
