Sorry, I have never really mastered the art of cutting and pasting from a table. There are 36 items here, all of which count towards my 30 a week. Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to get them to transfer in a compact manner. I will write the post and if you want to look at the things you can look down the heavily spaced list.
I’ve also had black pepper, Henderson’s Relish, soy sauce, vegetarian sausages (which should count as a sort of fungus), cinnamon, mixed spice, nutmeg, fresh ginger, crystalised ginger (bought by mistake, but nice to eat), garlic, garlic paste, lemon juice and zest, curry sauce and seasoning from a kit and mango chutney. Using the suggested quarter point method for spice and stuff like that, I’m claiming two points for the combined condiments and a point for the sausages which are some sort of fungus. That comes to 39, using the points system. I’m going to stick at 36 as I don’t want to start splitting hairs. They already let you have red and white cabbage as separate things, for instance, so it’s not that difficult, and it seems rude to quibble over the seasoning.
Poppy Brooch – beads and safety pins
Next week starts tomorrow and I will be keeping my target a 30, but trying to have ten things that I didn’t have this week. That will include courgette, 2 colours of pepper, wholemeal pasta, wholemeal bread, cashew nuts, avocado, sweetheart cabbage, red lentils and red kidney beans. That’s ten. I’m buying wholemeal now, where I often had processed white bread and pasta, so the counting is already altering my diet for the better.
Now I’m off to look at the colours of my diet.

I am playing catch up here, Simon. No need to reply. That poppy brooch shows what can be done with common items. It is beautiful.
Keep up with the better diet. Good things to come!

What you need is an amanuensis. Everyone should have one. It is an impressive list.
I’m torn on the matter ( and correct plural) of having an amanuensis – in Golden Age crime fiction the secretary/companion/amenuensis is often the murderous party. The butler, in contrast, has an undeservedly homicidal reputation.
👍👍
Lots to keep track of, but sounds like a very healthy diet.
I think once I get the basics in place it will take care of itself. A well-stocked cupboard and a list of healthy recipes should do the trick.
Good grief, you need an abacus, Quercus
Too complicated. Julia said something similar. Well, she said “You need . . .” but added ” . . . to get out more.”
