Salad days

So this month is apparently "Stoptober", it's one of these uber trendy made up words, trying to piggy back off the success of Movember ,  Both of which are undeniably good causes, but for some reason irritate me beyond the boundaries of rational thought.  Mainly I think because I can't join in with Movember, so I feel all excluded and hurt.

Actually I can't technically join in with Stoptober either, as I don't smoke, but I've decided to hijack it for my own ends.  One of my sister and my more unattractive traits is our extreme competitiveness.  People don't like playing games with us.  So when I wanted someone to challenge to my very own Stoptober, the answer was clear. Then the very tolerant boyfriend offered to join in, and so the game was afoot.

The rules are these;

No cake

No biscuits

No tarts

No chocolate

No sweets
No crisps

No tasty baked goods of the sweet persuasion of any kind.

Which basically means that this blog is going to be VERY boring for the next four weeks.

The game obviously requires complete and utter honesty from all participants.  It's going to be very hard for the Very Tolerant Boyfriend and I to monitor my little sister, so we'll have to trust her to tell us the truth.  Anyway, the winner is to be the person who lasts the longest without cracking and ramming all of the cake in sight into their face.  The two losers will buy the winner a small present of some nature.

So I thought I would show you one of my favourite salads instead.  It's ridiculously simple to make and it goes with pretty much anything.

Beetroot, Feta and Pea

4 x cooked beetroot diced

2 cups of frozen peas (cooked and cooled)

50g Feta Cheese diced.

mix together, put in your mouth,

Told you it was simple.
