Kitchen turns a corner

I’m still pretty stung by Nigel Slater’s new book. I read some more excerpts from this Sunday’s Observer and I think it is similar to this one. One obvious difference is that he seems to have a lot of time at home to potter, do his garden, go food shopping, make food. I’m at work five-days per week, and we don’t have a garden to speak of (roll on allotment).

Anyway, yesterday the kitchen took a real leap forward, the fitter did a good job and we can, at last, see progress. Still the kitchen is out-of-action so we went to Hot Pot Café. The man was nice to the girls this time. Scampi and chips twice was the order of the day, followed by a cup of tea.

I’m really looking forward to getting back to proper cooked food. Should be this weekend I think. We’ll just see what is in our veg box this week. We’ve pretty much used up all of that from last week, just half of the chard and a few tatties.
