2. Help out here: support 100 women in Asia by making a small loan that will help them set up a business.
3. Watch last night’s Q & A on ABC. Why? Joe Hockey arguing passionately for more women on ASX200 boards (currently only 11% of positions are held by women…the second lowest in the OECD), and across business overall. Kate Ellis agreeing with Joe (!). She also makes some REALLY good points about where things are at. And Gail Kelly is just inspiring and fair and an illustration of what women can truly contribute.
Everyone keeps asking me for lunch ideas…here you go.
I love making a hash of my lunch. Hashes are all about efficiency and sustainability and heightened flavour. For me they entail mixing up leftovers – grains, meat, beans, vegetables – from the night before and frying them with some cheese and/or an egg and tossing through some fresh herbs for zing. I also like to squeeze lemon on mine, to cut through any saturated flavours. And invariably I throw in capers. Oh, and some chia seeds! See what you think of these hashtastic ideas:
Leftover quinoa (for other quinoa ideas, see here and here)
Eggs (two per adult, one per child. For a family of four, I cook six eggs.)
A spoonful of butter or olive oil
An avocado
Shredded cheese of your liking
Coriander (or something similarly green. Chives may just be equally delicious.)
Salsa
Seasoning of your preference
Cook your eggs as you usually do. I cook mine in a weird-wackadoo way which consists of cracking the eggs over the pan and letting them sit for a few seconds before kind of mixing the yolks and sort of pushing it around for three minutes before it’s cooked through.
Sprinkle the eggs atop the quinoa [me, I’d personally toss the quinoa through the eggs and the cheese – Sarah] then add a few pinches of shredded cheese, ASAP so it melts from the heat.
Then top with chopped coriander, avocado, salsa and seasoning for taste.
