Bry bought me this amazing cookbook for my Christmas. It came as no surprise, seeing as I hinted about it practically every single day since the Summer.

I can't wait to get cracking on it. In fact, I don't know where to start. I am currently just at the 'food porn' stage (no need to worry, it's perfectly clean) where I just sit and look through the book and go 'Oh my god. Oh god, yes, oh my mouth is watering'. Bry will look up at me strangely and I'll look at him with eyes wild with ecstacy and go 'puy lentils with sour cherries, bacon and Gorgonzola'.

Little window into our sofa life there, peeps.

There's loads of things in here I've never even heard of but they've helpfully given websites you can order it all from so I am definitey going to get some bits and bobs and try my hand at them. Ooh can't wait.

We watched some espisodes of Come Dine With Me the other night and there was this absolutely hideous girl on it who was so obsessed with herself she said that if she could be an animal she'd be a goldfish because she knew that if there was only her in the world she'd be alright. As if that wasn't bad enough she described herself as a 'supreme foodie' and it made me feel sick. She turned out to be a right horror and even got some COMEUPPANCE (as anybody will tell you, that's mine & Bry's favourite outcome on a reality TV show) and so all was right with the world again.

Out with the food snobs. In with the food adventurers I say.

Now where was I? Oh yeah. Mmmmmmm Chilled red pepper soup with soured cream. Oh yeah, that's hit the spot. Oh god, don't stop Harissa-marinated chicken with red grapefruit salad and yes, yes YES sardines stuffed with bulgar, currants and pistachios.

Oops. I've dribbled everywhere.
