lebanese restaurant in a place called burwood, i'm there with my brother's people, eating amazing food with some nice people, it's my birthday, my 50th.
i get home late, potter around. in the dawns chorus i walk pan and then head into glebe markets where i wander around and look at bookshops, later i pop into the indian spice shop and buy some exotica. home for a massive clean up, a war against mould. that stuff is seriously bad news in a home. my bathroom has no ventilation except a window so there is a little mould around the shower door which i attack with some fury. an hour later i'm standing in a gleaming bathroom, mould free.
okay here's my new recipe for you, this is a fat burning nutritious pancake that is really tasty and easy to make.


stick a pan on low heat, add coconut oil, then in a separate bowl mix up some oats with water, stir in some nigella, quinoa seeds, chia seeds, raw garlic, an optional egg and then pour into the pan. the blob will look like a pancake but it's impossible to flip like on as it's quite heavy so cook it for about 10 mins on a slow heat then stick the pan under the grill and heat the top half. (make sure you have a metal pan and not one with a plastic handle) 
when the pancake is ready add some lime / lemon juice and enjoy.
you can add variations on the theme, i've added chopped baby tomatoes, some cranberries and heaps of other weird stuff. experiment a little, use organic ingredients and watch it burn fat away while you eat. very tasty and highly nutritious.
