The Grass is Greener on a Green Day

I have had THE greenest week this week. It's friday and I am yet to have a Red Day ... I wonder if that's ok? I'll be having a red day on Sunday, as if the weather stays nice we're hoping to have a bit of a BBQ ... otherwise it'll be a grilled bacon breakfast and a roast dinner :)

Therin lies a problem. You see, I can plan for two days in advance but I still have NO idea what I'm going to eat for lunch in ten minutes time. I should have made a frittata last night before I went to Yoga but decided to watch Hollyoaks instead. Shall I just go greenie again? Our friend has just returned from a month in China. We usually see him over the weekend and I suspect he'll be wanting some good old english food - a Balti! (Yes, it is english food ... the concept of the balti was inspired by indian cooking but invented in Birmingham. A waiter in an asian restaurant in Edinburgh told me that in North India the word Balti means bucket. True story.) Anyway, I digress. Balti, with all it's flavoursome tastyness doesn't sit well with any diet, but it does kinda fit better into a green day so I wouldn't have to count (much) for my rice and a Dahl (chick pea curry) if relatively low in syns too.

However ... I still have no idea what to eat for lunch.
