and i'm now about to make a salad with watercress, celery, carrot, beetroot, tomato, cucumber, sprouted lentils and mung beans, seaweed, borlotti beans, cold pressed olive oil and mashed avocado

[Tobi]

Wowzers! That salad sounds tempting figaro! I could definitely eat that.

[figaromelting]

It's really great :) putting mashed avocado over salads is a huge must

Well I made a really neat bean and nut roast mix the other night, along with some burgers and put the lot in the freezer.
Took the roast out to thaw in the fridge early this morning for Christmas dinner 6-7pm ish.
When I went to it at 6 it was still hard as a rock.

So Christmas dinner ended up being a 10 minute red lentil stew! haha.

I am hoping the nut roast will thaw by tomorrow evening. Does anyone know if it's okay to thaw something that long in the fridge? 2 days? It was made with mashed boiled potato, cooked red kidney beans, mixed nuts, herbs, spices, raw finely chopped onion and garlic.

I think that will still be ok to eat.
I usually thaw my burgers and other stuff one day ahead one piece at a time.
I freeze my cakes all the time in portions. Thaw it piece after piece. Stays good in de fridge for at least 3 or 4 days.

I could thaw my burgers and seitan by 2 pieces at a time, but I think I will eat the second the same day if I do that. So that's why I do that one piece at a time.
