Salads and Minions

Day three of diet. Pfffeeuegggfffft

I don't know why this isn't easier.

I genuinely love salad. I will deliberately choose it from the menu, even at posh restaurants. In my travels around the US and Europe, some of the best meals I've had have been salads. (I confess I am not talking about two limp lettuce leaves and a watery tomato).

But I also like cake.

Now I am thinking that I could chop up some Battenburg, Angel Cake, Genoa and Lemon Drizzle cake, mix it up in a big bowl, and voila - Cake Salad!!! This started as a joke, but I think it would actually work. I will investigate and report back.

Pic below of my new favourite thing in the world ever (the rocker knife not the ham salad, although that did turn out pretty well). Didn't realise these things existed until I saw one being used in the Subway in Akron, Ohio a few weeks ago.  Came home to the UK and bought meself one from Amazon, It is awesomely fab for making salad that you can eat with a fork, and without watercress sticking out of your mouth like cow eating dandelions.

My new favourite thing in the world ever. 

Bought the Minion cake for my son's birthday (yes he is 23, but he still deserves Minions :) ). Was a horrible moment when we had to slice him. Woody and I debated whether it was kinder to take his glasses off first. Then we remembered he was made of cakeness...

Tesco Minion cake...haha stood
him up to take the photo and the bottom two slices fell off

Have a nice evening,

All the best, Mir xxx
