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.

About i(I)njera

Injera is an Ethiopian bread. It is also the name of the Abyssinian cat on the left. The one on the right is Rufus. Rufus is not, as far as I know, also the name of a staple food. Sorry, Rufus.

Injera, the blogger, contributes occasional posts to Reality Ravings (probably posting more there than here during Masterchef season) and is working on a Tour de France project, celebrating the cows of the French countryside, at Les Vaches du Tour.

She also tweets. A lot. As you can probably gather from the updating sidebar.
