My main concentration has been on completing a twenty page feature on plays with a connection to the First World War and other interviews with the good and the great from the world of theatre for Sardines magazine. Also I have been reviewing plays right left and centre and doing my day job too.
Have I cooked much of interest? Well, possibly not although I did attempt to make some lamb meatballs the other day in a fit of a - must cook something nice - moment. They were ok and perhaps I went a bit barmy with the chilli but they were edible and I have frozen some for future usage.
I also made a huge fish pie which was totally delicious and lasted three for four days. I would highly recommend adding single cream in the first cook of the fish mix. Plus if you can't afford or simply don't want to shell out for smoked haddock then smoked Vietnamese River Cobbler is a good substitute and a fraction of the price of the haddock.
The weather has been exceptionally nice today so I have had a bit of a cleaning blitz around the house and washed some cushion covers form the front room amongst bed linen etc..
Today I have been in the rare situation where I haven't had to attach myself to my laptop and type away my fingers. Although yesterday I could have screamed as I managed to delete an interview with the director of Pilot Theatre off my Dictaphone by accident. I was trying to be clever and attempt to make an audio clip for my theatre blog without really understanding how to do it. Ooops deleted! So I had to try and recall the basics of what was discussed. Not easy and I would have preferred to have kept the original with the fine details.
Today I have had a nice lunch of fried rib eye steak, new potatoes and green beans with horseradish sauce. Unusually no cats from next door tried to deprive me of any of it!
