i am a lemon

In my attempt at healthy eating, i halved the seasoning and doubled the lemon juice to my bulgar wheat with olives recipe.

The result (overheard in my kitchen):

Mum: YUCKS! i'd rather eat cough drops!

Bev: nan chi si le (translation: damn gross to eat) i'm just holding it in my mouth, but i can't bear to swallow (she mutters)

Myself: i think i've killed all my taste buds and exacerbated my reflux

Conclusion - i guess even a good cook makes the occasional mistake - i am not Hester Blumenthal! AND, healthy eating sucks!!!

Currently doing: washing my mouth out. boy, are lemons sour or what?
