We’re having pizza!!! sang The Monkey’s to Mr Chocolate as he closed the front door behind him.
Two grinning boys launched themselves at their father…pizza!
Mr Chocolate looked happy too as he scanned the table tops with their proving doughs. Although, you’re not having pizza Dada, I think you’re having salad, said a sombre looking Monkey Boy. His face fell, as he looked to me to for confirmation.
Yep, mung bean salad lucky man.
(oh relax, I’m feeling generous… you can have pizza as well.)
Hippy Salad
sprouted mung beans
one can of chickpeas
one finely sliced capsicum (pepper)
