pumpkin and tomato laksa

After last night's hard peach debacle, I attempt to clear out some stray ingredients filling the cupboard and veg bowl to create Nigel's pumpkin and tomato laksa.

It's not entirely successful...

As you can see, the coriander was probably beyond it's last legs but as that's only a garnish I wasn't too disappointed. However, the noodles - gahhh!

Usually I favour straight to wok style noodles, but tonight I used up some dried, handily ignoring the fact ana hates the dried ones. Top tip - don't cook them in the pan because they suck up all the juice, and make the whole thing go slightly gloopy, and cause the tomatoes burn to the bottom. Arses - why can't I get noodles right?

Food of the Milos
It's the final battle to Julia's today, so he has a minimal breakfast. He didn't really eat his lunchtime pizza, or the off menu choice of spaghetti hoops. He did have some banana bread there, before guzzling half a kilo of chopped carrots and houmous for dinner.
