Activity!

Oh yes! I'm back! For a few hours, anyway. After a week's delay, and an over-running timescale, my kitchen is almost finished. I've even taken some rubbish, lo-resolution pictures to show you the before-and-after shots, which I'll post next week.

One of my friends, Rob, has insisted on visiting tonight, even though there's no running water in the kitchen, and the rest of my apartment has turned into a building site. Oh well, off to the pub....

My Kitchen's Like Battlestar Galactica

I think that's a fair analogy. My kitchen was built in the 1970's on a moderate budget, and now it looks laughably out of date. All the high-tech materials are, frankly, cheap bits of plastic. Tired and ropey. Thankfully, it's about to get a new lease of life, and become super-cool & stunning. That's right, it's being refurbished. So this weekend, I'm clearing all the cupboards out, defrosting the fridge, and dealing with a hundred other things that I'd forgotten to do. And then I'm disappearing for a week, to avoid the chaos.

In Season: March

I've been lucky enough to pick up lots of purple sprouting broccoli from a local (with car) farmshop- it's cheaper than in the supermarkets, and is a lot more intense in colour and taste (ie. it's a lot fresher). Here are some other seasonal foods.
