Monday Mania

I dont know about you, but mondays suck, I always seek to address the excess of the weekends, bad food, and,( c'mon!), a common thread ( at least in these posts) is that drink on the weekend is not an option, it is an obligation!- so the one day I make concessions to the fact that I willingly choose to and can eat everything I desire at weekends is the guilt-ridden loathing of self on Monday. However it never turns out badly, ever! I today for instance reheated some previously made lentil and vege burgers lavished them with a morrocan spice blend, roasted them with some fresh coriander and lightly olive oil brushed, same morrocan spice blend sprinkled aubergine ( hey it was in my hand-and it is Monday!!!) ( for Australian and American readers I am referring to eggplant) with soya sauce dabbled over them as a last minute after- thought. All of which I know sounds too Gwyneth Paltrow for words, but trust me it really is so yummy. One brief bill paying session at m,y computer later- Mondays the day the fun bus slides out of town- then the lentil burgers, wrapped in flat bread with spicy gucamloe, and the caramelised silky textured aubergine were ready and I feel it is my duty to inform you that privatation felt like a treat! After dutifully cooking lamb cutlets and  potato wedges for the children- who are protected from my voyages into the realms of excess whenever possible- accompanied with my daughter's obligatory salad ( cherrry toms, olives, cucumber, shards of carrots) and the baked beans and chopped up red pepper (capsicum) for my son It was early to bed with a good book, after all the point of Mondays is to make them last for as short a time as possible. So Monday is now considered over...we can only move on up from here!!! See you in food reaction to life the universe and everything tomorrow
