Wednesday evening I had a snack of:
Whole Foods Hummus and Crostini
This hummus is lovely and creamy but I think it needs a lot more garlic. I am a bit of a garlic fiend and put it in everything but hummus just isn't right without a big garlic hit. The crostini were very nice though.
Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto with Pancetta
Despite my dislike for rice and my last disappointing attempt at risotto I decided to give it another go. This was much more successful and with the added pancetta (I'm not good with completely vegetarian meals) it was perfect. One to make again I think.
Thursday consisted of a hot cross bun for breakfast, another prawn roll for lunch and for dinner:
Leek, Asparagus and Parma Ham Tart with Potato Salad
It's getting slightly warmer so the tarts and salads can show their faces again. This was all home-made except for the puff pastry but even the top telly chefs tell you not to bother. Life's too short to make puff pastry.
Friday's breakfast was a hot cross bun (original) and lunch was leftover tart. I had trouble deciding how to eat this in public as normally I'd use a knife and fork but it didn't seem appropriate yesterday. I ended up using my fingers and looked decidedly like some kind of animal. Someone described my lunch as posh though, for which I felt slightly embarrassed...
I had a bit of a snack-fest before dinner:
Slice of Parma Ham
Rye Bread with Cheddar Cheese
Still not sure about the Rye Bread. The above cheese was shared with C. I'm a beast but I'm not THAT bad!
Homemade Chicken Fajitas
I use lots of cumin in this recipe. It's my favourite spice.
Fru Passionfruit Cheesecake
Just ok. Why do we keep getting these?
This morning's breakfast:
Pancetta and Cherry Tomato Roll
Quite a posh breakfast except it was only to use up the pancetta from the other day and the roll was mouldy. I picked off the mould and ate it anyway.
Off to the pub for lunch and to some friends for dinner. Hope they don't mind me taking photos!
