blogger.I

had

been

unemployed

since

November

2011and

Eventuallystarted

to

cook

for

myself

and

my

three-yearold

son

on

an

extremelylow

budget

last

summer.

I

wrote

on

my

blog

back

in

July

2012in

a

post

titled

Hunger

Hurtsthat

poverty

is

the

sinking

and

choking

feeling

when

your

two-year-old

son

finishes

his

one

bowl

of

porridge

and

says，“Can

I

have

some

more

please，Mummy？”

With

only

￡

meals.AkI

started

to

work

out

my

meals.A

the

me

to

my

local

food_bank

for

help.As

a

resultI

could

writematerials.Theunbelievable.Peopleunds

a

week

to

buy

more

materials.The

response

was

unbelievable.People

struggling

financially

said

how

much

it

helped

to

see

recipes

made

using

basic

ranges

from

supermarkets.

There

was

also

criticism.People

called

my

costings

dishonest，because

“you

can’t

buy

half

an

onion”．I’ve

explained

that

I’ll

use

one

half

for

Lunchin

a

soup，and

the

other

half

for

dinner.Then

there’s

the

￡

3.48

Bottleof

red

wine

I

put

in

my

dishes.In

fact

that

bottle

lasted

well

over

a

month.Apparently，that’s

still

extravagant(奢侈的)．

I’ve

never

sold

it

as

an

ideal

life—simply

how

I

dealt

with

mine.Something

had

to

change，so

I

changed

it，and

Iwrote

about

it.

Life

has

taken

unexpected

turns.I

have

spoken

in

Parliament

(議會(huì))

on

food

Povertyand

been

interviewed

for

an

Oxfam

report

on

food

banks.Penguin

has

signed

me

to

write

a

book.Readers

keep

asking

if

I

will

still

live

on

such

a

tight

budget.Surely

yes

because

I

will

never

forget

the

tears

and

happiness

I

have

gone

through.
