One of the very few good things about training for a marathon is that you can eat bloody loads without putting on weight. Here's a fat-boy chilli I made for myself on Saturday after a long run along the Thames: vegetable chilli (obscured by not insubstantial amounts of cheddar), rice, Total yoghurt and a tomato, red onion and coriander salsa. They'd run out of soya mince in Tesco so I decided to cook with quinoa for the first time, on the grounds that it's super-healthy, -trendy etc. I'll reserve judgement on its usefulness as an ingredient until after I've used it to make something less hot and spicy, but the way the grains acquire little tails when cooked is kinda cool, if a bit icky.
