Last night we had the most wonderful burgers from M&S, Mediterranean burgers with tomatoes and green veg mixed into the burgers. I honestly never knew such a things existed, but I’m itching to try making some of my own now.

By the way is anyone else watching Nigel Slater’s ‘Simple Suppers’ thinking:

a.) You’re assuming every household has space for a garden/greenhouse (maybe if you live in London you could grow your veg in a corner of Hyde Park)

b.) How come you always have all these wonderful leftovers? Do you cook too much to start off with (who has left over mashed potatoe?) and if you do why don’t you learn to cook less? Who in the real world has a leftover parmesan rind in their fridge to cook with?

c.) Where has your Wolverhampton accent gone? (no that’s probably just me)

d.) You really only have one recipe don’t you? Step one: throw quantities of thing into a big pan, tip: for different dishes use different ingredients (actually that’s the thing I like most about his program, no measuring)

Perhaps I’m a little obsessed with food at the moment because tomorrow I’ll be in France, the home of much delicious gastronomy. I’ll be taking a short break with my parents to go to Nice, a city my mum loves (we’ve been three times so far). I am very much looking forward to eating, drinking and doing a little more sightseeing – I think some of our plans are to visit a historical site in the hills and see a museum that’s been closed every time we’ve visited so far. Perhaps we might stretch to a drink in the famous Hotel Negresco this time...

So I’ll say bon voyage now (although it’s me going off on the trip so technically that’s not right). There might be a couple of things posting while I’m away and I’ll be checking in on the mountains of great posts you’ll all manage to produce, when I get back.
