Spirulina Hangover

Drilling down on a different colour today, seizing the opportunity as I ventured into the city for my daughter’s medical appointment. Not sure what the graffiti means, but it’s green aura seemed to channel everywhere, from the seat to the bus to the foliage sprouting in the dead grass…

Titled Spirulina in homage to the very green dinner we had last night (which I almost blipped). My daughter suffers from very bad anxiety and severe stomach pains (possibly related) that have been disrupting that final, important year of school.

We’re still waiting for the results of her gastroscopy last week but as a desperate measure, I’ve been trying cutting gluten from her diet this week. The cauliflower and broccoli pasta bake (with lentil pasta and a cornflour white sauce) was fortified with spirulina. The clag like consistency of the sauce and the virulent colour of the spirulina took me back to my play dough making days.

Thanks to the liberal quantities of speck and mozzarella it was delicious, but she didn’t eat anything but the salad, her tummy was so bad.
