My breakfast was very nice, not very healthy, but I needed a carbo-hydrate fix.
And at the moment it seemed to me that nothing in this world would make me happier than to scoff down a nutella and banana warm pancake, it was an absolute heaven!!!
For lunch I had the soup leftovers from yesterday, which tasted even better. It is funny, but I think soups and stews taste much better the following day, do you agree? Then I experimented filling a pancake with turkey breast, cucumber and cheese. Bad move there... I didn't heat the pancake (was ready made, I blush while I confess), so when I rolled it over, it broke down in several places... No my finest culinary moment but what the hell, it was tasty enough for me.
Told my sister about my cooking efforts and she laughed. She gave me a picture of her lunch though, which was turkey breast with 'piquillo' peppers and garlic, VERY nice, I wish I was in Spain having lunch with her. She is an excellent cook.
It is amazing, I have become a bit of a food voyeur. I can't stop asking people what they eat, and I can't stop looking at their food either. It is a weird fascination, but I don't like to see them eating, just what they have to eat before they eat it. I find myself peering at their lunches on the tube, watching from outside restaurant windows. I could be in a supermarket for hours standing over the succulent pictures of ready meals, or immersed on the vegetable section daydreaming countless variations of soup... or in a nirvana of my own over the pictures of famous chef recipes at the book section.
For my late dinner I attempted to make a beef stew. I say attempted because it didn't come out as good as it normally does, taste was ok though, presentation was crap, lol, got distracted with Holby City... So learnt my lesson, watching TV and cooking do not mix well.
My sister in Spain made soy soup, which looks much better than my humble dinner. Not very keen on soy myself, but I am sure it was absolutely delicious. My sister and I chat everyday on MSN, thank you Mr Gates for bringing us closer despite the distance!!
