sunday luncheon with peter magnus leary

It's a beautiful spring sunday, and after a quick trip to for some lawn rescue (and hopefully two virile raspberry plants which means we won't have to pay for any berries this year), we're back for a double-experimental-gut-busting-lunch with la Leary.

Naturally it comes with added challenging ana points as beetroot reminds her of worming medicine, so she's not happy with the arrival of the borscht.


Sadly the soup was the only peaceful part of the lunch as due to a slight miscalculation we have to get monkeynuts up. Consequently we quickly move from a salon style intellectual powerhouse of conversation to kindergarten, with repeated hiding beneath the table, and demands for crisps. Still, the tarragon-stuffed chicken (utilising my new-found knife skills) is definitely a success.


Just as well as I've got a load of marscapone & tarragon stuffing in the fridge then. Afterwards, there's just enough room for tarte tatin, and then coma for the rest of the day.



Food of the Milos
Fruit bread for breakfast, followed by porridge and apricots. Scrambled eggs for lunch and spaghetti with cheese for dinner. Plus crisps (obviously), half a tonne of grapes, rice cakes, smoothies and some apple.
