Bruised, battered & back... AND I've managed to resist this morning's bacon butty run!
This morning has been oodles of coffee, nuts and dried apricots!
Dinner was fab - started off with curried cauliflower soup followed by roasted salmon (resisted the roast spuds and ate loads of carrots) followed by the winter berry mess (Gorgeous and might as well have injected pure tate & lyle into my veins!) followed by a very civilised double espresso. Martinis - 3, white wine, lots, beers 1 - followed by a very unsteady stroll to the tram, a very drunk conversation on the trip back and the kind of cab ride where you get in, tell the cabbie where you're going and then you're there.
Today I'll be taking things easy - fab med veggie lunch
Tonight - the family favourite of chicken legs - sliced onions & garlic softened with slices of chorizo (so they go all red!). Brown the legs, throw in a glass of white wine with the onions, allow to bubble, next goes in stock, thyme and the legs. Simmer the lot for a good half-hour to cook the legs and serve - I'll have the tag end of a butternut squash, the OH will have bread. The boys will have the rest for Friday's supper.
I may well be drinking a lot of water during the rest of the day!
