Soup

Yesterday I bought a very nice Moulinex blender RRP £44.99 for £19.99.

Hurrah.

I can now institute my much delayed lose weight programme, which involves replacing food with vegetables. These will be ingested largely in the form of soup. I have done this before and it works, though sticking with the regime is tough. If I can manage it for a few weeks there should be a noticeable difference¹.

I have yet to remove the blender from its packaging but I am confident that it will suit my needs perfectly.

To that end I have been out and have purchased broccoli, cabbage, parsnips and pearl barley. I already have some other stuff so I should be able to create some kind of edible gloop. I did it a couple of years back, I should not have forgotten the entire range of vegetable destruction in the meantime. Readers should be aware that I am not averse to eating vegetables, it is merely their unprocessed state that appalls me. I eat a great deal of vegetable matter; I simply like it to be processed into an animal first. Going back to basics like this is therefore a tremendous step.

Soup-making is only one function of the humble blender, of course. While out and about and vegetabling, I find that I am now the proud owner of three limes, a pound of sugar, two pounds of strawberries, a pound of raspberries and a bottle of rum. Daiquiris are vegetables too², and I seem to have the fixings.

I need ice.

Oh dear.

¹Readers should be aware of the obligatory lack of conviction in this statement, but hey ho...

²They must be; look at the ingredients: no meat there!

Whassup LJ?

There's sommat wrong with LJ today.

The formatting of my pages has moved to another style entirely, and unless I go to my friends' page by a very round about route, I am unable to see anybody who is not on ellefurtle's friends' list.

Most odd.

The format thing has happened before, but not the log in confusion. Even rebooting the PC hasn't cleared it, though using Explorer instead of Firefox seems to do the trick.
