… Avo & Smoked Ham
So I haven’t done a 15 minute meal for two days. This project has taken on a bit of a life of its own and if I go two days without cooking and writing I feel like I’ve neglected the blog and I feel that I need to cook again. Sunday was busy with church and then we had a meal together after and then I went to see a friend. All this meant that I was grateful that Gavin cooked for me. A very, very nice fish pie.
I have mentioned before that I am, a little bizarrely, now a member of a backgammon team. Monday night was our first proper match against another pub team. I think that in general our pub team (made up of more than a few beginners – me included) got thoroughly thrashed. I am among our teams weaker players, however I somehow managed to win five out of my nine games. I had intended to do this meal/breakfast/snack for me and Gavin before we went out back gammoning. However a nearly hour long phone call to Sky to cancel my TV subscription made that impossible. And thus there was no Fifteen Minute Meal last night. Why is it impossible for people to believe that you just don’t actually watch TV anymore?
I was also busy doing boring things tonight which meant there very nearly wasn’t a 15 Minute Meal tonight either. One of those boring things was writing the, over one thousand word long, email to Sky following up from yesterday’s phone call. Actually it wasn’t that boring. It was quite amusing. So I nearly posted the email as my blog for today. But this is a food blog and so …
This is the first one I have just done for me. Gavin is here (he took the pictures). But he had already eaten. This is one of the breakfasts, so naturally I’m cooking it at 22:30 ish. Avocados are used a lot in these meals. I’ve always liked them. I say always, but I very much doubt I knew what one was until I was well into my teens. But any way from then I have liked them. But doing these meals has given me a newfound love for them. This breakfast (supper in my case) is really lovely. Super easy to cook (I think this is my best time). Really very tasty.
Tomorrow is a busy day. Work – travel Gloucester – cook for my family (yes a 15 Minute Meal) and then out to see the boy with tape on his face. I saw the boy whilst I was at the Edinburgh festival over the summer and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to sharing that experience with some of my family. It will also be the first time any of them have had a 15 minute meal (other than my brother – who was there at the beginning and is partly responsible for this website).
Who with: Dinner for one so just me.
How long: Three minutes and eight seconds.
