Ful Medames and a Stroll Along the South Bank

[Sunday 12th August 2012]
I'd bought some dried fava beans yesterday, had soaked them overnight, and spent this morning relentlessly boiling them to make ful medames. I'd particularly wanted to make my own because the tinned version - whilst delicious - were really high in salt. However when I tried to make my own, despite it being an extremely simple recipe, I found it was lacking something. Salt, I imagine.

Later on in the afternoon we went out for a stroll along the South bank of the Thames, ostensibly to go and visit the Japanese Olympic house, but when we got there we found it had already closed. So I guess the Olympics is over then.

In the evening we watched the closing ceremony. Having dreaded the Olympics coming to London it hadn't really been so bad in the end.
