Head down

  It's been pretty full on here at HQ with all the cooking for Thursday's party, and just to make the project a bit more interesting, the next mission that requires my attention is breathing down my neck. I hadn't told you this but today the management took a plane to South Africa where she'll be frolicking for a couple of weeks.

  No, as good an idea as it seems, this doesn't mean you descend on my place for a party; there's something that I'll be taking care of while she's gone and it starts straight after the party, first thing on Friday morning. The next mission is the full redecoration of our flat so I've got to pack everything up so the decorators can get to the walls.

Fortunately my cooking is better than my photos

   As a result, in-between shopping and cooking I've been clearing shelves and boxing up... well, the usual rubbish that fills one's abode so it's easy to move around and out of the decorator's way. Anyway, it hasn't slowed me up much, I'm still on track and I even managed to shave my bonce so I look a bit more presentable.

Fortunately this picture is a bit more appetising.

And I don't know about this pic but it's kind of pretty.

  As promised, I've included a peek at the action. You can see the roasted red peppers which are going in a dip and some grilled chicken breasts that will end up... Hold on! I haven't told you the menu. My profound apologies. Here it is.

  There's going to be a homage to a chicken caesar salad, a red pepper hummus dip, a platter of cherry tomatoes with burratina and basil, roasted vegetables with yoghurt and zatar, fruity & nutty cous cous, rocket and watercress salad, a butternut squash, caramelised red onion and feta tortilla all followed by a cheese board and some Eton mess.

  As I'm going to be otherwise occupied, you'll have to do with some pre-recorded transmissions for the next couple of days and a full report on Friday. Anyway, I'm off now cos I've got shit to do.
