Keepin' it Surreal

I was graced with the company of my good friend Alex over the weekend, the weather was wonderful and we went to see Mr. Scruff in the Leadmill- which was basically a houseparty with a wicked DJ set.

Given the nice weather I thought I'd live the Middle Eastern dream. Tzatziki, Hummus, Baba Ganoush and Falafel. All homecooked from scratch and served with toasted pitta and a green salad. The falafel fell apart a bit as I have no deep fryer, I hear they're a bastard to cook at home if you'd like balls of falafel as opposed to lumps. Baklava for desert. Sad times for the Arab shop and the Shisha bar underneath- they've been shut down.

Other things cooking recently include;-
  • Thai Style Puy Lentil Soup
  • Red Potato Gratin
  • Mint Syrup- this is SO going in hot chocolate. Boil up mint leaves with some sugar and water in a pan. I thickened it with cornflour.
  • Our Serbian chum Filip whipped up a banana and lemongrass curry with kiwi fruit.
  • Myself, in the sun. FAIL
I have mostly been revising for my whole two exams, specifically today I have been mostly having a panic attack since I have failed to read any of the set texts for my english course.
Shit.
