Elaine’s 2,000 km Challenge – Day 31 Update

21 Feb 2017 | 2 comments

I think I might have overdone it slightly! I was exhausted today before I started on my 40 km. By the time I'd finished it I decided a short snooze was in order but before I managed to sneak off for a crafty nap disaster struck!

Given the shed roof incident, the world wide shortage of foliage and several other narrowly avoided calamities during #ASRF4050 what could possibly constitute a disaster so early in the day?

We've run out of Lemon and Herb Rub!!

We have a fully stocked fridge ready to start the week but I repeat we've run out of Lemon and Herb Rub!! This is a DEFCON 1 level crisis!

For the blissfully uninitiated said Lemon and Herb Rub is the number one secret weapon in my war against bland salad foliage. Did I mention we've run out? This is a crisis of unimaginable magnitude 😉

What do we do with it? Well it's perfect for adding to a chicken salad and giving fish an enviable flavour too.

Now the only local purveyor of said culinary delight is ALDI and they have been out of stock for the last four weeks. Even using our meagre stocks sparingly we are now at a critical level of needing new supplies imminently. We have scoured every ALDI within a 50 mile radius all to no avail. So I'm throwing it out to you all as a challenge. Where can we buy this rare delicacy? Preferably in bulk!

Seriously, if you do stumble across any of the lesser spotted Lemon and Herb Rub let me know and we'll clean up!

1240 km done, 760 km to go.

    Oh dear, I actually *like* my salads bland! No mayonase or other dressings at all! I once went to someone’s leaving do at a ‘World Wok’ – a bowl of stir fry and any one of a million sauces depending on whichever country you wanted to eat. I asked for just the stir fry with no sauce… The guy just looked at me as if I’d just asked for salt and vinegar – but without the chips. I really enjoyed the stir fry though 🙂

    And I have a big problem trying to buy pre-packed sandwitches. They’re all packed with mayo, salad cream or other dressing. Yuk! Just gimme it plain! (I like Branston pickle though)

    Oh and try a bowl of All Bran without the milk… really, it’s very tasty:)

      My beloved Lemon and Herb Rub is my one indulgence! I do love mayo but it’s on the banned list for the duration now. Don’t get me going on sandwiches! I have’t eaten a sandwich since 1991 LOL I guess that’s what a wheat/gluten allergy does for you

      But seriously All Bran?? Is All Bran actually edible? Either with or without milk? You’re a brave man Graham!
