Lunch, Tapas style

This diet! Some strange eating habits... Lunch today, tapas style, on one small plate after another... the left overs in the fridge before friends come over for supper, and one of them stays overnight...

Course 1
2 x oatcakes with organic butter. Yum. Eaten while preparing...

Course 2
Sardines, plain, mashed up with sesame seed oil and heated in the microwave for 6 minutes... with salt and pepper. They had gone crunchy on the top, don't know why - I did put a plate over them. Chopped parsley on top.

Course 3
Scrambled eggs, done ever so slowly while the sardines prepared and eaten. Add cold butter straight from fridge, and dusting of paprika.

Course 4
Spinach, cooked in the hastily cleaned egg pan, with water and salt. Strain, and add plain goat's yoghurt and cinnamon. Chop the spinach. Eat with a fork. Surprisingly, YUM. And I don't like spinach.


Cinnamon...
Is one of the top spices recommended for the campaign against Candida. I'm not surprised it's full of natural protection against yeasts and moulds - the cinnamon tree originates in Asia, an area of the world from which many of our major foods have come. High humidity levels mean that trees and plants have developed their own protection system agains air-borne yeasts. Cinnamon is the pounded from the bark of its tree, the 'skin' most exposed to infection.

Spinach...
apparently contains an ingredient which reduces and possibly reverses macular degeneration in the eye. So, although I hate, loathe and detest the taste of spinach, it's now a vile vegetable which I consume on a regular basis, for medicinal reasons.

No pic, I ate it all too quickly.

Top recommendation: the spinach, yoghurt and cinnamon. Imagine being able to eat that on buttered toast.... mmmm....
