I’ve only snagged these two pictures and they were by far the most ‘attractive’ looking meals (there have been some uggo plates let me tell you 😭) but I’ve been having so much fun being creative with meals - when I ate an omnivorous diet I was so lazy and I rarely cooked or was so intentional about nutrition!

First one:

- Mixed leaf salad, cucumbers and red sweet peppers in an olive oil, balsamic and maple syrup dressing
- Squeaky bean chorizo
- lidl no-chicken schnitzel (so yummy but I can’t find it in store atm)
- a dollop of Lidl guacamole
- mixed grains

Second one:

- Asda organic tofu
- Tesco plant menu chicken pieces (not too keen on them though)
- pan fried in and seasoned with soy sauce, chilli soybean crisp and garlic
- long grain rice and bulgar wheat
- Black beans
- Green lentils

This is my attempt at a replica of the bear totem from Brother Bear; it’s a gift for my brother’s birthday would you believe!!

I only have two whittling knives, none of which is a curved one suitable for hollowing out a spoon etc. I cannot for the life of me get to the bear’s stomach between the arms and it looks a splintery mess. I believe the wood is silver birch.

- How can I finish up the piece and rid it of the splintery belly?

- How can I treat the wood after completion with oils etc?

Any help would be appreciated :)
