I like food.
Recently I have made,
A slow cooked vegetable tagine with onions, butternut squash, carrots, chickpeas, garlic, fresh parsley and coriander, chopped tomatoes, cumin and paprika; served roasted aubergines stuffed with onions, garlic, roasted vine tomatoes and feta; spiced cous cous with spring onions and home made tzatziki.
On Sunday:
Chicken slow roasted in white wine and garlic. (For the flatmates, I did not partake in the eating.) With roast potatoes, sage and onion stuffed, homemade yorkshire puddings, leek sauce, peas and red wine gravy. Sarah provided roasted carrots, parsnips and onions. And I made apple crumble and custard for dessert.
A few days ago:
Mushrooms stuffed with spinach, feta and spring onions topped with grated cheese and breadcrumbs served with cous cous and a ratatouille with onions, peppers, aubergine, courgette and chopped tomatoes.
YAY.
Best gigs. Hm.
In no particular order:
Muse at Royal Albert Hall, London
Cat Empire at the 02 ABC, Glasgow
Owen Pallet, although he was super adorable in Cardiff, I think musically RNCM, Manchester wins.
Duke Special in Oxford, the time he was supported by The Voluntary Butler Scheme.
AND Arcade Fire, Barrowlands, Glasgow. Probably.
I've been to so many gigs, I appear to have forgotten most of them.
So not sure about my top five ever ever, but they were definitely five damn good gigs.
This week I got really accidentally drunk on Friday, and don't remember.
Saturday we watched Taken.
Sunday we had the roast.
Other days we did other things.
