I love food. Seriously. Food of all cuisines from both posh and fancy restaurants, to cheap and cheerful places, and best of all - home cooked. I really enjoy cooking at home and giving it a go, even if it ends up looking like a complete mess. It's so much fun, and immensely rewarding. I'm not brilliant, but I have quite a collection of recipe books that I like to try out now and again.
Tonight I watched Heston's 80s Feast - it was brilliant. In fact, the whole series has been pretty brilliant. I think Heston is my favourite chef at the moment, and I would give my right arm to be able to eat at his restaurant The Fat Duck. Any takers?! :-)
Being an 80s girl - the song 'Acceptable in the 80s' by Calvin Harris springs to mind now - tonight's show brought back loads of memories... from Viennetta ice cream to ham and cheese toasties, space dust, slushies and potato waffles.
Heston never ceases to amaze me, and he and his team always look like they're having so much fun trying out new combinations of tastes and textures to deliver truly wondrous creations. It made me laugh tonight when he was trying to make the stringiest cheese, and they were seeing how far it could stretch across the kitchen before breaking.
Next week is the last show in the series - the Ultimate Feast - bet it will be a good'un!!
In other news... I've decided to take group singing lessons as I think they'll be more fun. And I think I need something like that to distract me from you-know-who. I've also decided that I have to get fit - everyone tells me it all goes downhill once you hit 30, so I'm determined to prove them wrong. Plus I have to wear a bikini in June! Eeek, not long to go!
I'm actually seeing Mr Special this week. I debated whether this was a good idea or not, and it's probably a mistake, but hey, we learn from our mistakes, right? Besides, I don't think I can possibly feel any worse than I do right now, so let's see what this week brings.
