Tuna, Red Onion And White Bean Salad
I’m not a great lover of salads, as I suppose most have masses of rabbit food, but I will have occasional had a nicoise in somewhere like Carluccio’s or Pizza Express or bought one in a supermarket.
On the side in my kitchen was a pack of red onions and a couple of weeks ago, I searched for something I might make and found this recipe on the BBC web site.
I made it tonight.
The ingredients were very simple and this makes two portions.
2 tbsp of olive oil. I used Carluccio’s lemon oil, that I use a lot on fish.
1 tsp of mustard. I used Tiptree. Not Dijon, but East Anglian
A splash of lemon juice.
1 x 200g can tuna, drained and flaked into chunks.
400g tin cannellini beans, rinsed and drained.
Half of red onion, finely sliced.
50g rocket
This is all the ingredients, after combining the oil, mustard and lemon juice in my Little Chopper.
The Ingredients
Note the Estrella Damm Daura, which is the only gluten-free beer I have at the moment.
As I said, I started by comibining the oil, mustard and lemon juice, which was then tossed with the tuna, beans and onion, and seasoned.
Finally, I tossed in the rocket and served one portion.
My Very Quick Supper
The other will be my lunch tomorrow.
Variations In Daily INR
To illustrate the changes you get in INR, I’ve made a graph of my last fourteen readings.
INR 1-14 August
As you can see the level goes up and down, but stays within the limits of 2 and 3, with an average of about 2.5.
Tumblr News Give Me A Plug
I don’t read Tumblr News but they must sometimes read my blog, as this article entitled, Former OFT boss: regulation can be a bridge to new customers, has a link to this post of mine. In that post from August 29th, 2009, I said I had over £30,000 invested in Zopa and now nearly four yeas later it is just a shade under £140,000, with total interest of nearly £140,000 and bad debts of just £650.
I think I’ll accept that!
My investment in Zopa has certainly performed better than pudence’s investment in the Royal Bank of UK Taxpayers and Lloyds TSBleed.
An Unseen Advantage Of Peer-To-Peer Lenders
There are three main peer-to-peer lenders in the UK; Funding Circle, Ratesetter and Zopa and I have extensive filters and Google alerts that look for any fraudulent activity concerning these companies.
Have I just not found them, but I haven’t seen or heard of anybody trying to get access to any of their web-sites for illegal purposes. I’ve not even heard of anybody trying to hack Wonga either.
On the other hand I’ve had over thirty phishing attempts in the last few weeks to try to get into my non-existent Barclays account.
So are you at an advantage if you keep your savings with a peer-to-peer lender?
Certainly at present you are! But phishing attempts will come, even though I think they would be a very difficult scam to setup and target successfully.
