mozzarella, peach, basil and parma ham salad

It being the end of the month, and June being quite expensive, we're forced into trying to make ends meet for the last few days before payday. Taking a trip to the Waitrose underneath John Lewis I hit the motherload - two packets of cured meat for almost thruppence, peaches on offer and a giant bag spinach reduced to 50p!

Chuck in a cheap mozzarella and we've got an old favourite from a couple of years ago, with enough for mine and ana's lunch tomorrow, and all for under a fiver, bargain.


However, there's many a slip betwixt Waitrose and Mortlake. I don't mind composting some of the spinach, it was out of date after all, but using under ripe peaches - offer or no offer - is just a waste of time, and can't made up for with extra basil...

Food of the Milos
It appears to be International Day of Pasta for the blonde bomber today, and also he stuns us all by demanding breakfast at Julia's. What is going on? For lunch he celebrates the day by polishing off a large bowl of capelletti pasta, before heading home for a second pasta course, last night's cherry tomato spaghetti. What with the histrionics and demanding fashion sense, he's virtually Italian.
