Tofu fry-up and litter picking

Lately I’ve been making a tofu fry-up for lunch, sometimes breakfast. It’s absolutely delicious so let me share the recipe.

It’s very simple. Here are the raw ingredients: tofu, spring onion, tomatoes, kale, mushrooms, hummus, pepper, and olive oil.

I basically just bung everything in they frying pan with a generous dose of olive oil and pepper then fry.

Eventually it looks like this:

I bake my own sourdough bread which is 100% organic wholemeal flour. This loaf also has nigella seeds which give it a lovely aroma.

I cut two slices of the bread.

I then smear my homemade hummus all over it. The hummus is made with chickpeas, tahini and lemon – that’s it. I don’t use the store-bought stuff because it’s full of salt.

Lastly I dump the tofu fry-up on top. Bon appetite!

I’m organising the annual litter pick for Aberdeen Cycle Forum which is next Sunday and today I went out for a reconnaissance to find a suitable spot. There’s not usually any shortage of places to pick up litter in Aberdeen – humans are a filthy species. I decided to take my own picker and a bag with me as I’ve made it a habit to pick up litter on a regular basis rather than just once a year.

I filled up this whole back from from this garden next to Riverside Drive.

I disposed of the rubbish then walked on to Union Square but there was so much more litter further down Riverside Drive that I tried to collect what I could just with the picker and my other hand (I had already disposed of the bag by this point as it was full and heavy). A motorist pulled over in front of me, a man jumped out and asked if I wanted a bag? I said yes please and managed to fill a second bag. The kind man said he had collected a bag of litter with his daughter yesterday in a very short period of time. I managed to do the same with his bag. It was windy today which always makes the litter situation worse as it gets blown all over the place. I was very happy to get all this off the streets. Imagine if everyone picked up one piece of litter each time they left their house? We’d have such clean cities.

A very satisfying day!

Next Sunday 12th April is our planned litter pick event starting 1pm on Riverside Drive just opposite the service station. Everyone is welcome so please come along if you’re free. We’ll provide all the litter pickers and bags.
