tomato curry & mushroom pappardelle

Suddenly a combination of cost and health has meant Simon Hopkinson's Tomato Curry has become something of regular meal. Jude's coming over tonight to watch Strictly, so the plan today is get some more tomatoes on our usual trip to the Farmer's Market this morning.

It starts off to plan; babyccino - check, feeding the ducks - check, Farmer's market - check. Then the ana's throw a spanner into our carefully nurtured routine, she needs a new frock for her birthday this week. However, what could've been an absolute disaster with monkey creating hell because he's bored/tired/hungry, and the ana's tearfully breaking down in the changing room trying to get out of her Dallas style shoulder pads, goes like a dream! Ana finds three amazing dresses in which she looks amazing in, and the milos flirts outrageously with the owner. We even get him in bed in time for us to tidy up *and* make Nigel Slater's mushroom pappardelle.

A quick afternoon trip to the supermarket because I forgot the tomatoes (gahhh!), it's full-steam ahead for Strictly and curry.

Food of the Milos
Crumpets and half of my Shreddies for breakfast, b-ccino, and a pear at the farmer's market before a snoopy snooze. More apples and pears in the afternoon, and the remaining mushroom pasta for dinner. This was later supplemented by a large amount of Strictly crips and howmous. Hmmmm...

  2. You make an excellent, well-founded point. Roll-on sober and vegetarian January. I never thought I'd say that...
