A little bit of what you fancy.....


Well week 1 of the 3 week break is going well...i've done all of nothing and it's been fab. The weather's been grim so that's aided my plan of doing very little. Its been nice it has to be said. I'm going to have to get my head down though I've a ton of work winking at me from the corner of the desk, so a concerted effort to flick through the pile maybe made tomorrow.
As you all know I love my food and I do like to cook every now and again...leftover chilli is sitting the fridge as I type, but I do also have a bit of an odd passion, I love recipe books. I very rarely use them, I just love reading them..it's like porn. My personal favourite is Nigella, that woman is an absolute wonder and indulges in food porn like no other. But I've since discovered a new contender for this crown, Sophie Dahl. She has a new show on BBC2 called The Delicious Miss Dahl, and it's awesome. If I could split my time between her house and Nigella's - like a child between two divorcing parents and dividing my time between them - then I would be a happy bunny.

I'm of the mindset that a little bit of what you fancy...(errr, food wise, you rude bunch of creatures!!) does the mind and soul the power of good, I don't see the point in denying yourself something as this only leads to being completely miserable. I however have absolutely no willpower so do have to use restrain when walking past Thorntons.

Life is for living and loving, so make the most of it, just don't forget to throw in some fruit and veg along the way so we can enjoy it that little bit longer!

Till next time...x

  1. I'm reading E.L. Doctorow's 'Ragtime' at the mo, and there was a delicious sentence about food in it, "The consumption of food was a sacrament of success." Wow, probably being a bit weird here, but what a sentence!
    Crisps are a little bit of what I fancy currently!

  2. Not weird at all, that is a beautiful sentence.

    Is it a good book?

    Now this is going to sound a bit weird, but a little known delicacy is salt & vinegar crisps and chocolate (preferably diary milk) together, try it, trust me. Heaven.
