Today has, despite not consisting of much, felt like a good day. Having recently defrosted both freezers in my house (which required using up a reasonable amount of their contents), it was necessary to restock them with pizzas and breaded fish and so forth. This was achieved today with a remarkably cheap shop for the amount of produce stacked up in the trolley. Another milestone in the garage renovation was partially reached today as my dad - with a small amount of my help - fixed the wood up beneath the gutter. From what I have heard, asbestos is bad, and yet somehow our garage roof is made of it and my dad made it his mission to tidy this - which led to me forcing him to wear a tea towel (in the absence of a proper face mask) over his mouth to stop him breathing in the dust (it's a wonder he has lived this long with this attitude!) But my crowning glory of the day had to be the potato, salmon, and asparagus pan fry, with saute chard, cabbage and sprouts. Sometimes I get those days in the kitchen where I can multi-task like a wizard, and on these occasions, cooking is both a joy and a breeze and usually I am ready to serve before I even anticipated. Today was one of those days, with the cherry on top being that I also managed to prepare and cook an apple and blackcurrant crumble to perfection. (A tip for anyone wanting an alternative crumble topping: mix together oats, sugar, butter, vanilla and maple syrup - it is divine!)
And that, my friends, pretty much concludes the highlights for today. Tomorrow doesn't look to be that much more interesting but I shall update as and when I can remember.
