Liquid lunch

I was ever so tired when I got home from work so after a nap and a tea fetched by Dashy I thought I'd combine my two favourite past times. Bathing and eating. I'm really into Nigella's naughty quick meals at the moment. Basically, you add fat to fat, with a vegetable mushed in for health points.

I melted a large block of soft french cheese, warmed it in the pan with

spinach and one chopped tomato and used the resulting soft gooey liquid to swell up some cous cous. Armed with my plate of calor-veg I ran

a bath, bubbled it up, and settle down to watch mad men.

I have to say it did start to taste like I was eating bath water, but washing up was a breeze!

Lush bath bombs are better than Fairy any day!

From nose to wail

Some people like to go out on hot dates to hot restaurants, I like to sit in and weep about how I don't like change. But just like Fergus, I'm going to make sure I use up every last shred of my Cranston estate experience. Povo offal to some, but heart and lungs to us. And using up the kidneys too with how much we've drunk tonight.

Marky sent out the memo early this week that we were going to share a last supper at the flat. Apart from Jim (but what's new? Joke! Don't worry the chance of him reading this is as low as him changing his sheets), all the regulars gathered in the 'sitting room' to be served up a feast of goats cheese stuffed chicken breasts with roasted vegetables and boiled new potatoes.

Was an absolutely dream. When I went to fetch the quadruple chocolate loaf cake for pudding I have to confess I ran my finger over all the bowls and utensils and then stuck them in my mouth.

After that it all got a little shady. Last thing I remember was sobbing in the bath whilst eight people showered the strawberry sauce off me.

Would you like a Fran with your sauce?

I just can't function without a good luncheon

Roast rolled round this afternoon for a late lunch and cuddle. I'd previously tempted him round with the offer of spaghetti hoops and grated cheese on toast but flicking through Nigella Legspress our greedy eyes were caught by something entitled: Back from the bar snack. A gooey mixture of potatoes, peas, bacon, eggs and cheddar cheese.

I think if you actually ate it in the middle of the night as she suggests you'd put on a stone then and there but it meant we could have fun sprawling on the bed in our gaping silk robes, flicking the light on along with our hair, and pawing down the stairs for a pretend midnight stuffing.

Oh we were very Nigella and started hoovering up our snacky cheese straws when at the till. Think the cashier blushed!

We began watching Annie Hall but half succumbed to sleep, so weighed down with potatoes and cheese as we were. Mmm what would wake us up?

I know! A quadruple chocolate loaf cake! We accidentally got a bit worked up by Nigella bandying about words like 'drenched', 'glory', and 'melting squidginess falling darkly onto my white sheets' and the chocolate batter got everywhere!

Surprised we didn't end up on the floor in a buttery mess!

After picking the chest hair out the batter we slid it into a loaf tin and into to oven for 45 mins.

All that was left was to enjoy a slice with a cup of tea, and to wash my clothes!

Roast practically needed a 'obesicycle' to get home after that marathon meal, and I need someone to lick the last few splodges from under my chin. I just can't reach and I promise it's tasty!

In a spin (ach)

What mischief are you hot young things up tonight then?My boss asked. Oh dear. A Wednesday night with nothing to do! I'm letting Shoreditch down..

Luckily I was saved by Dani Bristol who threw me a line requesting dins n cins.

First though, I set about solving the quandary of what to do with my hoard of massive spinach leaves. I'd only just exhausted my last reserve of leaves and inspiration. I had some time on my hands after work so I investigated some options..

Rakish hat? Coy fan for this steamy weather?

Ah sensible Dani came to my rescue with the idea of spinach and

ricotto baked wraps with a soft tomato mix melted onto the top with cheese. As usual somehow she did most of the cooking. It just seems to naturally happen if I hang around looking useless enough.

Then we trotted off happily to the Vue to see 'The Switch'. And no, i'm not embarassed.

Caramel here for a short(cake) time

Am playing a fun game with myself seeing how many of the pack of 12 mini Thorntons caramel shortcakes I can manage to leave to take to Chaz's for dinner tonight. Well fun for me, not them. Three are down so far.. An hour to go. I usually have so little self restraint that the phrase 'Doing a Fran' means acquiring a present of food for someone but accidentally eating it before it gets to them! I'm always terribly sorry.

Later on.. Luckily Chaz is more thoughtful than me and cooked us up this splendid dinner for gurls night. Whoopsy I forgot to capture anything but the bleak remains. You can only imagine how delish it looked. Once upon a time it was chicken fajitas with tomatoes, lettuce, peppers and sour cream.

.

Too full to move we couldn't bear pudding. Chazzy deserved it throwing over her anyway for her naughty behaviour with white linen-ed Pasha!

Mums on Tour.2

I've been on so many holidays this summer I almost forgot to drown you with Cornish food info. They eat (clockwise from top) fish and chips, lashings of chocolate gateau, tent bits and bobs, and cornish pasties and ice cream.

Ignore the apples. Real Cornish and I don't touch them. We were all about the Gold bars.

p.s We found a mermaid

Pinot Yoga

It occurred to me that after eating all this food some of you may need some tips for exercise enjoyment. This is from the sweet lips of our very own Bobbeh.

1) Stretch up!

2) Stretch back.Wink to Daddy (in the tent next to us)

3)Down and take a sip of your wine.

4) Fling your hair up sexily.

5) Repeat with more wine.

In no time at all you should be toned up for Summer!
