Welcome to my blog. This is my second day of Live Below the Line challenge, and everything goes well. Let me just quickly remind what this campaign is about.
The campaign is asking the public to cut their spending on food at drink to just £1 per day for 5 days.
The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on the equivalent of £1 here in the UK.
Live Below the Line is a challenge for people to eat and drink on the same amount as those living in extreme poverty.
While taking on this challenge, they will raise money for charities working to end poverty.

Day 2, I still have some pizza dough left from yesterday, yay!
Another pizza day today, no bad at all. Well, I cannot use tomato and mozzarella, but that's fine, I can survive.
In my previous post, I have published a recipe for pizza dough. For today's lunch, I am going to use the dough left from yesterday.

Pat your dough down, paying attention not to press down the air bubbles, which are the result of a long fermentation. Transfer onto the baking tray. Sprinkle with the sliced olives, pressing down gently, and brush with 1tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
As mentioned, this meal was quite filling, so far I really cannot complain.

After dinner thoughts
Today's lunch was OK, I love pizza with olives. Dinner was also OK, but certainly not my favorite dish! In terms of quantity, dinner was just about right, not a lot, also a bit dry because I could use only 1 tbsp of oil oil. However I had a piece of pizza left from lunch, so I am not feeling hungry to be honest.. Looking forward to tomorrow's challenge!
