Discovering

(Or rediscovering) Hamlet - Nicki Greenberg's beautiful new version, thanks to the fabulous Snarkattack, who invited me along to see Nicki talk about the creative process behind the book.

Eating

  • An enormous serve of bangers'n'mash and a nourishing pint of Kilkenny at the Town Hall one dismal Tuesday evening.
  • A "Chachi" - chianina meatball sandwich - another brioche donut and some amazing chocolate tart at Beatrix, which Essjay has reviewed.
  • A lazy Sunday lunch at The Crimean. The Polish hunter's stew (bigos) was just the thing to revive me after a chilly bike ride.
  • Generous piles of fried food with oodles of chillies and sichuan peppercorns at Sichuan House
  • Succulent suckling pig at Liberteene.
  • An array of bright, zesty flavours at Chin Chin, where the only problem was having to choose only some of the items from what looks to be a menu that is all hits, no filler.

Time poor

I’m aiming to post a Simply Baking recap tomorrow, but the Masterchef Madness over at Reality Ravings has been dominating my blogging time.  There’s only one night a week that doesn’t have a Masterchef episode, so it’s a bit of a marathon at the moment.  If there is such a thing as a marathon that goes over a number of weeks, for 30 to 60 minutes at a time.

I’m still trying to figure out why I decided to participate in the 501words project, but I did (actually, I do know what prompted me to participate… procrastination. TatteredEdges tweeted about it just as I was about to get stuck into some work prep, so it was only natural that I signed up there and then).  My daily blogging has been interrupted by a laptop crisis, but I’m planning to get back into it once I have my own keyboard back.
