Been a busy week, so limited cooking.
Tuesday was laundry - home alone and didn't have time to shop so just had pasta with garlic, oil and toasted panko breadcrumbs.
Wednesday is climbing wall night, so didn't even come home. Chicken and guacamole bap bought at lunchtime from a sandwich shop near the office.
Tonight was a bit more of a free night so I actually had the chance to cook properly - made something claiming to be an Afghan carrot hotpot (Qorma-e-Zardak) from a loosely Middle Eastern-themed veggie cookbook. Roasted broccoli and rice on the side. I'm not making any great claims for its authenticity, but it was about as good and hearty as you'd expect a big pan of carrots, tomatoes, lentils, onions and spices to be.

We still eating the enormous Russian feast from the other day... did finish off with some salo on rye bread with pepper.

Sadly not. Or possibly fortunately not, given how much my arms have been complaining today.
But our regular meet is at a time that makes it awkward to get home for dinner.

Home-made bread still warm from the oven, buttered generously. Fried halloumi. Some tiny, sweet plum tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. The end of a bottle of very basic (but from Waitrose and therefore nonetheless drinkable) red wine, bought the other day for cooking with.
Actually really nice to eat something so simple, having been gorging a bit just recently on pizza, pies, casseroles, curries and whatnot.

I made cauliflower cheese a few nights ago and basically fucked up the sauce, due to using some fucking disgusting olive oil spread my partner insists on buying instead of butter and not being arsed to work out the proportions properly, it came out all lumpy. This made me insanely angry, so much so I threw it all away, went to the shop, got butter, and made a surprisingly nice sauce in the end. swearing all the whole time. Went full Gordon Ramsey. Surprised how angry/depressed it can get me when a meal goes all wrong. I think it's 'cos it's the one thing you're looking forwards to doing all day and so is disproportionately annoying when it doesn't work.

Aargh, fake butter is the worst.

ha...we've all been there, Danny. one of my wife's memorable lines was when she once screwed up the measurements of some pasta dish and said "it's a pile of crap with shit on it", before storming out of the kitchen and locking herself in the bathroom for 10 minutes! even the cats were looking at each other, I imagine thinking "wtf, did something just happen?" we look back and laugh about it now, but it was not a laughing matter at the time, let me tell you!
