My favourite crackers and a large mug of cranberry juice was the start of my first day after this looong week; a long, tasteless week! One of my last food disasters was a boiled potato (who could ruin something as easy as to put a potato in boiling water?!) the middle was uncooked so I decided to finish it up in the microwave and of course, I forgot about it, and the outcome was a very soggy potato! I learned that to live this way you need to be really organised and have a very vivid imagination; but most of all I learned that a flavourless world is a sad, moody world for me. I can’t imagine having this sort of food week after week. Sometimes we take things for granted, the opportunity of having a different meal every day, the different condiments we’ve got easy access to. If we are hungry or simply fancy something special we just need to go down to the shop, the possibilities are vast. So I have decided 2 things: to be grateful with every bite I take and to buy a How to Cook for Dummies!
We haven’t collected sponsorship for our campaign but if anyone would like to donate to Community Arts North West (the organisation we volunteer for – they create access to cultural and arts production for asylum seekers and refugees and other people on the fringes of mainstream society, whilst offering tonnes of other support and training opportunities) or the Boaz Trust, you can here:
