Notes

1. You can half the recipe or double

2. I used a food processor to chop everything.

3. I also use most of the parsley stalk , that's where a lot of nutrients are. But I use a food processor.

4. 3 cups of parsley is equal to the large bunch you find in big fruit shops or 8 small bunches.

Parsley is so easy to grow so better from your own garden.
I’ve never had a nice tabbouleh yet🙀🤮sorry.

Talking of food, I can't stop buying the stuff. The pantry is full, my fridge is full, the upright freezer I share with my next door housemate is half chockers with fish, chicken, lamb, beef, seafood, etc. Enough for three months minimum. Women buying shoes have nothing on me!
🐷 oink oink🤣

For some strange reason, I'm in the best mood ever for ages. Which does not bode well from experience.

A cute girl asked me for a smoke at the taxi rank at the rear of Dandy Plaza this morning. I obliged, giving her my last one. She was reluctant to take it and I told her I was in a great mood. Little did she know, I had another packet in my backpack. Then I asked her if she needed a light but she had one. I said "otherwise I'd send you the gas bill". We both laughed!
