Lunch

Quesadillas With Chicken And Stuff
2oz cute chicken minifillets from tescos (2 for a fiver, result!)
2 x relatively flavourless wholegrain tortillas
half of a half of a can of mixed bean salad (in yummy vinegrette, but i had to drain it - boo hiss)
tiny weeny handful of low fat cheese
lovely warm cup of tea
half a rivita whilst i was waiting for the chicken to cook (just in case it tasted different from before, in the interests of science)
spices galore (pepper, paprika, more pepper, salt, cumin, more pepper)
a whole bunch of that cooking spray stuff that's meant to taste like butter but smells more like something really sweet's on fire.
smidgen of buffalo wings salsa-esque sauce to make you believe you're not being deprived.

...in which i had fun coating the chicken in spices, but caused something in the kitchen to smell like electrical burning. had to work out what half a cup was in british measurements. also what ounces are in grams. for those of you trying similar culinary experiments at home, 2oz is just enough to fill two tortillas. no, i can't remember, so i'll have to work it out all over again tomorrow. actually, i can utterly recommend this meal - v. tasty although not as easy to prepare as i've made it sound...

Radio Show Listened To Whilst Eating: mark, of mark and lard fame filling in for steve wright on radio 2. it was ok but... i wanted more.
Top Tip Discovered In Preparation: move your kettle away from your microwave-grill-combo's vent when heating.
Anxious Moments: wondering if it's possible to cobble together a "toaster oven" out of paper clips and elastic bands; aforementioned unknown burning smell and was-it-the-microwave-after-all-conundrum; having to touch cold beans out of the tin; necessary fetching of healthy ingredients from behind pork pies in fridge; recurring pork pie fantasies throughout afternoon.
