Returning to normality... kind of.

After a slight lag in my cooking experiments I am, at long last, back on form.

I've been pretty broke recently- I still have no job and I am too disorganised to have called up the company who owe me £500 or open up a student account so I can have an overdraft. Last night, I had a very old raw carrot for dinner. :(

Please take this moment to observe a photograph of Jono in Beanies;

However, I successfully got my act together a little bit, and have procured enough money to allow me to buy food for this week.

I'm going a little East, on the menu we have;-

Cream of Jerusalem Artichoke soup.

-Something simple as I have been dying to experiment with Jerusalem artichokes for a while now. They're in season so now is the time to do it. -Huzzah! Figured keeping it simple would help me get a better idea of the taste of Jerusalem artichokes.

Curried Sweet Potato with chili, lime and coconut.

-Yum yum yum yum yum yum. I think yellow split peas will be most excellent if I cook them into some dahl to go on the side. Coconut and coriander rice is also something I'll try to serve it with. I find rice very hard to cook without a rice cooker, there is definitely a knack to it if you want it light and fluffy.

Red Thai Curry

-I have some Thai curry paste I made myself in the freezer, Thai curry needs coconut milk which I will have left over from the Sweet potato curry, so all is well.

Pumpkin, Tomato and Gruyere Bake

-Not at all eastern. But probably delicious.

Think this sounds expensive? I paid no more than £15 for my food for the week today.

Thank GOD for Beanies.

Also, Jake and I are going to cook plum and raspberry crumble tonight, with custard. :)

I've missed eating good food so much! :D
