Happy Friday. Today I am mostly tired. On the train this morning, I was thinking that the early bird may catch the worm, but who except birds wants worms, I want pastries and I have a much better chance of getting one of those if I leave the house after 8am! Anyway, enough of this nonsense. My favourite of my posts this week was the Vegetarian Cottage Pie, and if you’re not convinced by it, maybe the picture below will help, some people came to dinner last night and this is what I cooked them…..

Some reading for the weekend…

1) The dangers of the ‘Do What You Love’ mantra. Which to be honest I always thought was bollocks, I work so I have money to do what I actually love…

2) Aging Parents from their point of view. Ok, I’ll concede the point about technology…sorry Ma.

3) Is teff the new quinoa?

4) How to make tablet. A KILO of sugar, wow.

5) The Rise of the Fish and Chip Shop. Or more accurately the rise of the posh fish and chip shop. Decent fish and chips are much harder to get than they used to be, my local one is rubbish and I generally only have them when we’re in Amble (and they are amazing) but there is a Kerbisher and Malt in Ealing so I should probably try it out.
