Pancake Day! I had some with lunch and some for dinner. Round 2 was filled with a sweetened lemony fromage frais and loads of gently stewed blackberries that are still kicking around from J's foraging along the canal last autumn, and some maple syrup on top, too. Guild that Easter lily.
Amazing.
In other amazing news, Helen Mirren ate a Tunnock's Tea Cake on tv the other night. And while I am going to deduct points for whinging about being on a diet and how she really shouldn't (not sexy -- act your way through it, Helen), her tea cake etiquette was exquisite. That is, cracking the chocolate shell first and using a piece as a scoop to pull out the marshmallow. She got extra points for then sticking her finger into the cake to get more marshmallow (and thus bringing sexy back). She should have proceeded to eat the biscuit base after the marshmallow and chocolate had been demolished, but she wrapped it up and 'saved it for later'. Suspect. Let's pretend she ate it once filming stopped.
got home really late from work and tucked into your scotch and then black pepper pork and dumplings for a 10 pm dinner...dinner was good. the scotch great!
