It's been a long time...

...and in that time I've eaten a lot of bad things.  The shame.  That whole thing about eating salads when the weather's nice does not apply to me.  Starting with Thursday morning:

Pasturma

Scallops and Chorizo with Homemade Guacamole on Toasted Panini

I was working from home so I pushed the boat out.  I've made variations of this in the past few months but the chorizo makes this one the best.

Penny Sweets

These cost more than a penny each.  We couldn't decide whether the ones on the left are dummies or keys...

Lasagne

Rhubarb and Custard Cake

Friday was a bad food day, starting with Golden Grahams followed by:

Falafel from Borough Market

A rare vegetarian meal for me.  

Bodeans Soho Special

Hot Buffalo Wings


I was looking forward to this due to my carnivorous nature but was disappointed for a couple of reasons.  Firstly, you can't book at the Soho branch so it was impossible to get a table on a Friday night in the restaurant section.  This meant that we had to hover around people in the upstairs 'deli' section until they finished.  I hate doing it and I hate it when other people hover around me.  

When we finally got a table I had the above.  I reckon the food here is good but I made the ultimate mistake and ordered the wrong thing.  The pulled pork had a nice tender texture but it was all too sweet. Sweet and meat is not a good combo for me.  The chips were gorgeous, I love gherkins and the chicken wings were addictive (despite the fact they burnt my lips off) but the main event wasn't great for me.  Perhaps I'll give it another go on a quieter night.

On the way home from a night of karaoke we made the taxi driver stop at KFC:

Fillet Tower Burger

Amazing.

Saturday:

Peanut Butter on Toast

I got bored half way through so added jam to the second half.

It was a lovely day so we bought stuff for a picnic:

Picnic Stuff

We didn't do a very good job here due to our fuzzy headedness but sitting in the sun with a chicken tikka samosa isn't the worst way to spend an afternoon...

EXP Chinese Takeaway

Too tired to cook.  

Sunday:

Full English Breakfast

We grilled and poached our breakfast so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  We even had black pudding, which I'm sure is unhealthy no matter how you cook it.

Choc Nut Cone

Cold Chow Mein

For dinner we went to The Talbot in Brockley and had:

Roast Chicken

Very good except there was not enough cauliflower in my cauliflower cheese.

Apple Tartin

I shared this.  It made me feel better about myself.

Yesterday:

Fruit and Fibre

M&S Chicken Salad Sandwich

Plus a packet of Quavers.

2x Fig Rolls

I went to Zumba to burn off all (maybe a quarter) of what I ate at the weekend and came home to a healthy dinner of:

Japanese Prawn Noodle Soup

M&S Potato Ball Things and Chicken Things

Today:

Toast with Marmite and Honey (not together obviously)

Onion Bagel with Parma Ham, Tomato, Mayo and Mustard

So we have established in this mammoth blog that I am a barbarian.  I must change my ways...
