The usual Saturday routine is slightly disturbed by a weekend driving lesson. But after a couple of hours scoping for chicks and doing three-point turns in Esher, I'm back in time to take the monkey to the Farmer's Market and duck pond, where we got over-excited about some massive carpses lolling about in the summer heat.
Fully vegged up, we head back so Ana can ruin Lions Club by getting her hair cut for 400 HOURS. At least I didn't see it, I suspect it would've been worse in the pub. I don't really, it would've been better, much, much better in the pub.
Anyway, with Matt & Virginie coming for tea we opt for the crowd-pleasing Bill Granger fragrant chicken, mainly because you can just let it simmer away whilst you drink. That last point might come back to haunt us later btw.
Though I say so myself, the turmeric potatoes were possibly the best I've done yet but hands up who was more interested in booze than pictures? Sorry. We finished up with Jamie's Eton Mess, chilli chocolate, and some brilliant guest-supplied cheese. An excellent night.
Food of the Milos
Crumpets and porridge for breakfast, 'ambled' eggs, blueberries and raspberries for lunch, and he had last night's paella for dinner. Okay, we took the chicken and chorizo out, mashed the peas and broad beans a bit, and called it 'risotto', but he still ate it.
