Acting Your Wage

Apologies for the lack of posts this week, peoples. I came down with the plague (translation: a very bad cold and ear infection) and spent most of the week in bed.

I still managed not to eat out though! And this leads into a handy tip for eating at home:

Soup is your friend. If you make a big pot of soup (3-4 meals worth) it will keep in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for a couple of months. It is a lifesaver for those "Too tired to cook" moments. Soup is incredibly easy and incredibly hard to mess up.

My soup for this week was "Pearl barley and vegetable" If you use vegetable stock, it's vegan. This is the simplest recipe EVER. You probably all know how to cook this and it's a case of teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, but I promise you that it is one of the easiest things you will ever make (I made it while having to lie down on the kitchen floor every couple of minutes) and it is TASTY.
