Day 2: Living on a Pound a Day - Lounging on a Bank Holiday

A Good Friday ... to just lounge around.
The joys of lounging around can easily be had regardless of your income. Of course, depending on your personal characteristics, it will be an easy activity for some and not so for others. With the occasional rays of glorious sun through the day puncturing through the grey clouds and then only to be followed with lashings of heavy rain, it's a good day to be indoor.

Food today saw a trip to the local Mediterranean store to hunt out some cheap and hearty options. Here I am presented with a vast selection of legumes and lentils. Although these can take some foresight to prepare (soaking overnight), these food serve to be quite filling and nutritious (so various sites inform you). I've settled for the red split lentils as they are quick to prepare and should go well with the carrots I have left in the fridge. Cooking creatively is going to be an activity that i am going to be conducting for a significant amount of time. So, if you have any recommendations on making some cheap hearty vegetarian foods.. do leave me a comment.
