nigella lawson's curly-edged pasta with lamb
Sometimes there’s not much to say about cooking: You just sort of get in, check the weekly menu and get on with it.
Tuesday nights I tend to run home, so usually the options are either something that takes no more than 10 minutes to construct once I’ve had a shower – which is obviously easier in the summer – or something that can bubble away whilst I’m warming down doing nekked lunges in front of the telly.
As it's still nippy and wet, we're erring towards the heartier end of the scale, so whilst I’m applying beauty unguents and cucumbers to my eyes, Nigella’s lamb ragu is simmering away on the hob.
Even better, it’s a good dish to use up not only the last of the oregano in the freezer, but I can sweep up three almost-empty packets of malfalda pasta that Ana insists on leaving at the back of the cupboard. WINNER!

Emptying the cupboards before camping
With one day to go before we head off with the McPartlins and Connollys, we're in cupboard-emptying mode. This sounds terribly Blitz-spirit and thrifty, and there are huge great wodges of both elements involved, particularly as work seems harder to come by than an Aussie prop who can scrummage without falling over.
However, the sun is shining and having pulled out some haddock from the freezer, cueing us up nicely for Nigella's Keralan Fish Curry for dinner, we look for inspiration by digging out previous May editions of Delicious.
Now, in the good old, pre-Karen 'let's have a campaign or talk about my kitchen' Barnes days Delicious' May editions were Italian specials, and they were blinking brilliant: All of them well-thumbed favourites, and all of them stuffed to the branchie with fab, tasty yet easy recipes, including our new favourite Yummington lunch - Angela Boggiano's Tuna, cannellini bean and red onion salad on tomato bread.
Who doesn't have cans of tuna and beans lurking in their cupboards? And this simplicity is it's genius. This time we had the sun-dried tomato paste, but simple tomato puree or pesto works just as well.
Finally, and seeing how I mentioned it early, here's dinner: Nigella's curry for all. I think it's the best way of using frozen fish, which tends to be quite fishy in flavour, but this is tamed by the turmeric and ginger.
All I need to do now is find the tent, the sleeping bags, and torches, pack the car and talk Milo down from the skyscraper of over-excitement he's currently stood on top of.

nigella lawson's hot and sour soup
After last night's school pot luck, we're both feeling pretty shabby today. Luckily one of us has to go to work, whilst the other gets to loaf around Hammersmith, lunching at The Lyric under the guise of 'looking for work'.
Still a hangover is a hangover, and given one member of the household has decided to collapse on the sofa, I've decided to resurrect a soup we used to eat loads when we were house-sitting at the Superwhite's Balham residence: Nigella's hot and sour soup.
It's perfect: It takes about 10 minutes to make, and is packed full of enough big, bold flavours to get a sweat-on, and drive a headache out.
Strangely enough it's not quite how I remember it, it's slightly less aromatic, which I put down to the fact we didn't have any Tom Yum paste. At least I think it's that, but I can't exactly remember what Tom Yum paste actually tastes like...
I also forgot to take a picture, sorry.
Wine Time
Gosh, what do you pair with spicy, hot water with prawns bobbing about in it? Given you're eating/drinking loads of liquid, I think whatever you do drink might as well be brilliant because you're not going to have room for much more liquid. Usual caveats apply - something with some sweetness and fruit to temper the heat, and aromatic to match the spices, so pick a good quality Riesling - and Dr Loosen is a pretty readily available, good quality producer - and you'll be dandy.

nigella's curly-edged pasta with lamb ragu
Oooh looky - another sort-of-experimental-dish-that-now-counts-as-experimental-because-Ana-never-previously-cooked-it. I wonder if I should create 'David Irving' tag? Oh look snow!
Actually, "Look, snow!" because today it's not only flipping freezing, but it's actually properly snowing. All of this means I need something in the line of molten magma to warm up my frozen bones tonight.
When Ana didn't cook this two or three times previously, I didn't remember it being brilliantly cockle-warming in any way, so it seemed perfect to try for the first time tonight. This is tiring isn't it? I'll stop.
It's a Nigella classic: Quick, simple, filling and packed with loads of different flavours, particularly chili and fruitiness from the red currant jelly. It's bloody brilliant, although word to the wise, frozen mince doesn't work as well as fresh.
Wine Time
This is simple as, for two reasons:
1. Lamb is fatty and strongly flavoured, so you need something acidic and bold;
2. The red currant jelly dominates, so you need something with some residual sugar.
So I'd go for either a Rioja, either a young or New Wave vintage-labelled one which is all about the fruit, with some sweet spices, or a New World Pinot Noir, which is all about fruit with some residual sugar. Boom.

nigella's keralan fish curry
Saturday night's alright alright alright, ooo-oo-oo-oooooo! Although chez Barnes rather than hitting the town and getting plastered, Saturday night's alright for recovering from five year-old birthday parties, more man 'flu and watching (and drunkenly weeping) Any Human Heart. Again.
However, much to Ana's chagrin, such louche lifestyles require energy-giving food to fuel all the Lego-building/present-buying/sleeping-in. But can we be cracked to go to the supermarket to buy food? No, and it's raining, so tonight we raid the freezer and lo and behold, one packet of frozen fish ends up yielding a mighty bowl of Nigella's Keralan Fish Curry.
Admittedly we did have to get some coconut milk, but the rest totally came from the freezer, fridge and erm, pantry. Sorry Brothers & Sisters, come the revolution I will be giving the pantry space to a lesbitarian art kollektive.
Being mildly serious for a nano-second, it's one of those dishes that are great if you've got a cold, mainly because it's packed with turmeric, ginger and chilli rather than because Nigella channels Miranda's mother and describes it as being what she calls "temple food". There's also plenty for Milo, which will be interesting as this is something he used to eat loads of as a baby, but as he hasn't had it for a while I'll be keen to see if he's still game.
Wine Time
Curry and fish delivers a whole host of flavours and textures, particularly from the almost antiseptic-tasting turmeric and warming ginger. Generally with eastern food you'd look for something aromatic, but this has a more pungent quality along with the creamy coconut, so I'm going to go with a New World Chenin Blanc which has lots of tropical notes along with some nice acidity and is full-bodied to go with the fish. We had Prosecco though, as it was on offer...

nigella's keralan fish curry
I've definitely got a cold coming, so last night's balls-up becomes a blessing in disguise as the combination of antiseptic turmeric and gingery-spicy goodness is just what the doctor ordered:
Interestingly I've spotted an oldie-yet-goldie Nigella recipe next to this one which I think Brenda you cooked for us once, (or it might have been Kiki), and we had a few times whilst flat-sitting for the Whites - Hot and Sour Soup. Given Milo's predilection for prawns and the imminent arrival of Arctic conditions, we may be seeing this sooner rather than later.
Sorry, dull update tonight. Must be ill, still I've got Hornblower in bed to look forward to - wahay!

nigella's keralan fish curry
To be honest despite being quite clearly fish, this is a bit of a cop out as we have it all the time, but on a wet Monday with various resolutions hanging over our heads it's an easy win. Particularly as it'll be a cast iron win with Mr Magic tomorrow.
For some reason it's a bit browner than usual, not sure why though:
Thankfully for the Nigella tag, (currently standing at a mighty ONE dish), Ana's got her eye on a couple of recipes we saw in Lucy's copy of Kitchen over New Year. As luck would have it, Delicious kindly reprinted them in Feb's issue meaning we can try them out without having to buy the whole thing. Fingers-crossed Ana also takes up eating cream horns in her bra, at midnight...

keralan fish curry
It may be the heat, but the ana's are slightly-to-very under the weather today.
Normally her illness would trigger some sort of comforting dish to snuggle her back to health, but tonight she's scuppered by the fact I'd defrosted the other half of the fish shoal Ocado delivered last week.
I need not have been worried, I'd forgotten all of Nigella's dishes have ludicrous anthropomorphism attached to them, in this case "templefood". It's all a bit Posh Nosh, she really needs a slap, hopefully from Don Fabio.
More updates today as I slowly rescue images from corrupt-camera-doom:
Food of the Milos
Off to Julia's fuelled only by a bottle of milk and a Humzinger, the milos spurn breakfast before turning up the degustation heat with a lunch of erm, nibbles: Bacon, hard boiled egg, tomatoes, cheese and strawberries. This al fresco style day time eating is supplemented by cheesey spaghetti for tea.

sausage, pea and potato casserole
Happy Easter! After last night's curry-and-booze-fest we're feeling a little jaded this morning, *some* of us more jaded than others.
After several hours playing in the tunnel/food/rolling Tom Kitten in pastry and eating him, Hanne Signy Natvik and Robert wander over with Kornelius and we go to The Treehouse for lunch. For the third weekend running.
For the first time the anas go 'off menu' and has fish cakes rather than herby, curried crepe, and is ultimately disappointed. A bit too fishy apparently. I opt steak and chips (pretty good), and the milos stick with what he knows best - sausage, chips and broccoli.
Having finally got a very tired boy into bed, I really can't be bothered to pfaff around in the kitchen. So, whilst ana knocks up an amuse bouche of limey halloumi bites I get a sausage casserole on the go before slumping in front of the telly for Come Dine With Me.
Food of the Milos
Easter dawns with the usual visitor for milky, followed by Charlie & Lola and the new classic, Peter Rabbit, on YouTube. Hot cross buns and porridge for breakfast and then lunch down the pub.
Even better, they had an Easter Egg hunt in the garden - yay! He managed to find three Kinder Eggs (actually he found more but through a system of putting back the spares as he found them, he only left with three), to add to the three at home making a grand total of six eggs which is pretty good for a small blonde person. We've also got three others hidden...
After some amazing dragon impressions he had rich beef ragu with pasta for dinner, and then sparko.

keralan fish curry
Another brilliant day for daddy-day-care. Having spent yesterday swimming and wandering around Barnes, today it is all about culture.
We go to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs again, with a side order the elephants and zebras and the added bonus of including trips on buses and trains. There were potential pitfalls, however:
Hammersmith Bridge is closed so we have to walk in the rain to the station, and on arrival I'd failed to take into account the fact it's half-term, so it's packed. Not only that there was a 45 minute queue to get into the dinosaurs because the mammals exhibit was closed. Double bugger.
Still, he was aces and proceeded to 'exhibit' for various foreigners, and then for the lovely Louise when she met us for lunch. We seek refuge in the V&A, where she quickly spots his ability to take advantage of an echo-y room with a loud roar, before going over to the Science Museum to play in The Basement.
We're back in time for mummy to return from the spa, and one funny bath later it's time for us to beat out the cold with an extra-gingery fish curry - hurrah for Nigella!
Food of the Milos
A relatively good food day - scrambled egg for breakfast, then a variety of snacks whilst we queued up (marmite rice cakes, apricots) and then some crisps and apple juice in the V&A. Although I noticed Louise used him as an excuse to buy a child's roast dinner. For dinner he had jacket potato and half a slice of cheese on toast.

keralan fish curry
A busy day in Barnes Towers. Despite last night's broken sleep, partly because of his full day yesterday with Nanny, Danny and Dylan, we decide to take ACTION today and go to Kew Gardens.
Naturally by the time we get out it's late morning so we skip a sleep again in favour of looking at the giant fish in the Princess Diana Greenhouse thingy, looking at wild animals through "noculars", and having a babycino. When we get back we make some gingerbread animals - what farmyard beasts can you spot?
With monkey in bed early, we have an unusually early-ish dinner - a warming, gingery curry after a day in the frosty cold in Kew. Though I say it myself, it's one of my better ones...
Food of the Milos
A better day of food: Scrambled eggs and soldiers for breakfast, a variety of snacks during the day, some roasted squash and peppers with pasta for dinner, and a gingerbread rabbit as a lovely snack.

keralan fish curry
The second week of the diet-and-no-booze-during-the-week has drawn new battlegrounds in Barnes mansions. The cracks start when I reveal according to the gym scales I've lost almost 4kg this week. The scales do not lie and I put it all down to a new regime of rowing. The two packets of chilli chocolate I've put in the fridge don't help either, although Ana has come up with a unique resolution: We can have chilli chocolate in the house if I ration it out *but* simply hiding it will be 'really annoying'. Hmmmm, I don't know what she's complaining about, she looks pretty good to me.
Anyway, back to the small portions of food and we go for some comfort fish curry tonight. I never thought I'd hear myself ever utter those words, but we do have a fish dish we both quite look forward to. It's doubly weird because before you get to the recipe you have wade through Nigella's cod temple-mummy bobbins. At least it's not 'express' shudder!
Food of the Milos
The week starts with weetabix for breakfast, force-fed into him whilst he grizzled about 'not wanting it', post-swimming pasta for lunch at Andrea's, and a Mummy-special pizza for tea. Plus the usual puffs, fruits and cheese.
