Heaven Knows I'm Vegetable Now - 10 / 10 club - all welcome

[FrannyandZooey]

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

ooh please note I have eaten rhubarb

and my skirt feels looser [deluded emoticon]

and I miss Filly

at the price of your wondergunk Franny!
Yes, we could do with luring Filly back to the thread.
Dcs and I have been extremely busy in the kitchen today - two separate batches of chocolate gingerbread biscuits, apple sauce cake, lebkuchen and pasties for tomorrow. On top of all the usual meals but, miracle of miracles, I didn't have to make bread today!
Oh, and ds1 squeezed about 400ml of orange juice - not bad for a lad with little staying power. And ds2 squeezed some too, and drank some (sieved) - and he doesn't even like oranges!
Oh, we have this amazing dill in the garden which is just heavenly steamed with new potatoes.

Franny, why has the rhubarb made your skirt looser?

Eats, Fruits and Leaves is funny.

TooTicky, that is an impressive cooking marathon. Are you expecting visitors?

TooTicky, I was going to ask that but I thought the thread might turn all anal ....

No, no visitors. Ds2 wanted to make the gingerbread while dd2 was asleep to surprise her, ds1 joined in, I was going to make apple sauce cake anyway, made more gingerbread so that dd2 could do some rolling and cutting when she got up, ds1 decided to make lebkuchen, pasties for school lunches tomorrow....but it will probably all have gone by this time tomorrow.

And did the rhubarb just affect the skirt or Franny herself?

Are you saying that rhubarb makes skirts stretch? I didn't know that.

I have just googled lebkuchen ...

Depends what you do with it I suppose.
