chick pea and tomato soup with chorizo

Essentially this weekend is a write-off, almost entirely because of Miss Janine Smith's birthday celebrations at Heavy Load. A night that begins with lovely hugging and reminiscing with lovely C4-type people, plus Peter Leary Esq and James Hurley, before ending up stumbling around the kitchen whilst trying to get undressed in the dark at 5.35am.

There was a modicum of unwellness all of Sunday, and not even meeting Angela Hazel White and Ed in the Treehouse for a couple of reviving Guinness' can save it.

What this means is we're light on food blogging for the weekend. We had some sausages whilst watching the Barbecue at Claire's, and chips at The Treehouse, and that was pretty much it. Other than booze. Milo had some more piratical eggs though:

So with a distinct feeling of *boilk* today, there's only thing that can address the combination of Monday blues, imminent dehydration, starvation and the need to watch Glee. Hearty soup:
