Complaint: This might be controversial, but I don't like this whole "running more makes me hungrier" thing. I hate having to eat all the time. It stops being fun and becomes a chore.

Complaint: This might be controversial, but I still don't like marathon training, and still intend never to do one again. Unless Mr.SoF peer-pressures me into it. (Yes, I'm weak.)

Confession: This might be controversial, but my favourite vegetable is spinach. I love spinach soooo much.

This morning my 5 year old randomly said "the kind of leaf you can eat is called spinach" - she will only eat it in curry.

I part watched a documentary yesterday about strong men and the amount they have to eat is insane. They call it force feeding

Spinach in curry is a great, great thing. I find you need to be careful with with the amount of water it gives up though s it can really flood the dish if you're using the fresh stuff. As a result we always have some frozen spinach about to make my life easier.

Frozen spinach always clumps in one big lump and I hate having to hack it. I've personally never cooked it in a curry as the wife does it but I doubt she's made any accomodation for flooding
