1) Couscous (or mini rice as he calls it. He hates it because it gets every where).
2) Leftover red cabbage with spices (he doesn't like cinnamon and cloves apparently...first I'd heard!)
3) Roast dinners...(I think I'll only fit one of these in as he's only gone for the weekend. I've booked a table at the Victoria Inn. My first visit this year! I'll post photos tomorrow)
Most weekends I'm desperate to lounge in bed but I was surprisingly restless this morning and decided to head into Truro.
If you haven't been there before it's the most lovely city to shop in........
There's lots of small alleyways and streets to wander around.....
I was scouring the charity shops along River Street for vintage cookware. There's quite a few pieces I need but I can't bear the thought of buying new ones which are so stupidly expensive.
But today there was nothing worth buying. I may head to Penzance this week...the charity shops there are amazing. But I did find this vintage bag....£3.99!
I love it! It's so thick it feels like it's been made out of a horses saddle. By the time I got home my toes were freezing...I'm not sure how much longer I can get away with wearing flip flops. I needed something to warm me up....

Does any fellow blogger know why the lines are so close together? I go into edit and add spaces but it ignores it?
ReplyDeleteDid you solve the problem with the lines? They look fine to me - same as your other posts.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your other half doesn't like roast dinners! That's madness! Glad to hear you're getting one in while he's away. :D
That soup looks lovely. I love that combo of thai flavours with chicken. And it looks pretty easy too, which is important!
