Saturday,

Breakfast : Yoghurt & Oats

Lunch : Shared two dishes at “Munchies” on Aldeburgh high street.

1) Cheeseburger in a Suffolk bap (£5.95).  Juicy.

2) Beef hot pot. (£4.95)

(Lashings) of ginger beer to wash it all down.

Over to the in-laws to pick up some furniture; Mother-in-law was cooking a simple tasty looking Sausage dish for supper.

Food:

• onion
• apple (any kind)
• sausage
• mustard

Method:

Slice onions & apples into rings (or whatever) and place in the sort of dish you would cook lasagna in.  Place sausages on top.  Spread a little mustard onto the sausages.

Cook in oven (med/high) for C. 1hr.

The onions and apples will caramelise and you will be left with a delicious “goo” along with your sausages.  Serve with mashed potatoes and savoy cabbage.  Or whatever….

Then it’s off to the badlands of Norfolk for a Christmas drinks party.  Details are a little hazy but I remember it being very wet.  Tasty snack food at the party (sausages, bread and cheese, sausage rolls, etc…) .  Late drive home.

Coffee and Cake

Popped into Starbucks to do some work (Still here). £3.95 buys you…

1 x Small/Tall Mocha

1 x Carrot Cake

All in all a combination of sugary goodness that’s hard to complain about. Sure the cake’s not quite as good as great aunt Maude used to make, and the coffee could be a bit hotter but quit your moaning. You can sit down in comfort and do your work, a far cry from granddad having to work down the pit 20 hours a day for an handful of old buttons and a case of emphysema.

 

So….. I’d better get on with that work then…

Saturday morning and a return to childhood.

We’ve just back from being invited round for coffee by our neighbour.  That might not strike you as strange, but Wife and I live in central London.

It was a very pleasing hour or so, especially when the biscuit tin came out.  None of this poncy organic low food miles mind your carbon foot print nonsense.  Straight in with a choice of…

• Penguin (remember those?).
• Kitkat (two fingers, milk chocolate).
• Wagon Wheels.

Brilliant.  Quite quite brilliant!
