We had a newbie starting in our office
today, and as such the full team emptied out of the office for lunch to
officially welcome her to the team. It turns out that it’s another Singaporean
who doesn’t drink and doesn’t like to go out. When the MD leaves this Thursday
I am going to be the only one left who likes a cheeky glass of wine every so
often. It’s going to be very, very strange!
Still,
for the welcome lunch I booked us into an Italian restaurant that it nice and
close to the office and does a great set lunch of either pasta, pizza or salad.
Whilst the rest of the team ordered huge bowls of carbs, I made my way through
a slightly depressing roasted vegetable salad, promising myself that I would
work out something for dinner that was as close to an Italian treat as
possible.
Welcome our slightly bizarre, but actually surprisingly tasty dinner of cheat pizzas. Rather
than making pizzas on a dough base, sliced grilled aubergine became the
base of the mini-pizzas topped with homemade tomato sauce, a very small amount
of grated parmesan, rocket, peppers and one or two with bacon (but only a
couple).
It
wasn’t quite as amazing as a giant plate of deep dish pizza, dripping in cheese
and meat, but it was close enough, and just about did the trick to power me through
one more day of no cheating. Well, it was Monday after all – and hot cross buns
are on their way!!
