This had two outcomes, I was pretty much left to myself during the daytime nap, so I made Pumpkin Soup. Here are some step-by-step photos to inspire the Bad Lucy.
Basically St Hugh's recipe calls for you to quarter and de-seed the pumpkin, and lob in a couple of cloves of garlic still in their skins (I used some more of the smoked stuff which should've been part of my mum's Christmas present, apart from I forgot it). Drizzle over some olive oil and grind some salt over it, before roasting for 35-45 minutes at 200C:
Once they've cooled slightly, scrape the pumpkin out of it's skin into a saucepan, slip the garlic out of the skin and add 500ml veg or chicken stock. Blitz it and then bring to the boil. Voila!
How smug am I? Sorry Lucyfer...
The second consequence of drunken ana was her curry craving. Seeing as this is one of her staple dishes, I marinated the chicken and she cooked it. She must have been still suffering though, because she accidentally poured in about 3/4 of a bottle of fish sauce into it, and her eyes can't have been working too well by the look of her blurry fioto:
Weirdly despite all the fish sauce, you still needed to add more salt to it. That's strange, no?
Food of the Milos
Waffles and crumpets for breakfast, a babyccino and half a lemon muffin in Nero, and surprisingly no lunch before bed. He didn't really have anything after he woke up either, which is unusual, but managed to eat some rice cakes when we went for a walk. He did however, have a large portion of last night's pasta, an apple and a fruit puree pot.
