It being a Sunday we do the usual things: *More* gardening, a haircut for small people, a trip to Barnes Bookshop for three more Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler books (Tiddler, Charlie Cook's Favourite Book and The Smartest Giant in Town), mooching around the pond and painting. Monkey manages almost the whole day without a snoopy-snooze before collapsing on ana whilst watching Peter Rabbit at about 1700 - an hour before bed. Curses!
This presents a dilemma. Stick him in bed and risk him waking up at 3am, hungry. Or wake him up and battle through the tears to get back on schedule. Which is where Delia's bangers come in: We wake him up with the lure of sausages!
The recipe is one of her new Waitrose cards, (taken from her 1973 Frugal Food book it says on the back), and it's pretty darn tasty. I swap the cider for apple juice for the monkey but it's still dreamy. However, I think it's more an autumn/winter warmer than a spring/summer meal...
With magic replete with sausage, bathed, read to and in bed, we have another leaf-based meal - mediterranean halloumi salad.
We definitely like different things about this dish. I find the halloumi too salty, but I adore the ripe tomatoes and olives. I think ana takes the opposite view.
