Leon's dalston sweet potato curry

Somewhat incredibly this is the second week in a row I've managed to play rugby (and score, I know you'll be delighted to know, this time playing lock fact fans!). Also for the second week in a row I've come back to discover Ana and Milo have been baking *and* making jelly, this week Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's chocolate chip cookies!


A cheeky run around a field, a couple of pints and some warm biscuits when you get home cooked by the best wife and son, can life get any better? A couple of hours later the answer is a resounding "No, that's the peak of the day!"

It's not that Leon's sweet potato curry is awful, it's just quite bland and disappointing, all mouth and no trousers, a bit like London's trendy East End in fact. I bet an East Sheen Sweet Potato Curry would've tasted marvellous...


Even worse than the curry debacle, for some reason ITV3 have failed to schedule any Midsomer Murders tonight, making the whole day a complete write-off.

Food of the Milos
For some reason we're full of the joys of spring this morning, meaning we're up and watching Scooby Doo DVDs from about 7am. Hurrah for parenting!
Breakfast: pancakes, followed by the weekly sweet shopping - this week fruit pastilles, which he shared quite amicably;
There wasn't any lunch per se, more an aggregation of browsing: marmite sandwich, apple, cheese, satsumas, and a fair few biscuits;
Dinner: Fish cake and beans, followed by jelly.
