What do you mean, that's NOT Gillian Anderson?

OOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOooooh! It's Halloween.

This year has been quite fun really, we made fooooood :) We also had people round to help us eat it as well though. This was nice :)

For Saturday night's tea, we nommed on Pulled lamb which had been roasted with camomile tea leaves, rosemary, honey and other ...stuff, herbs and such. Roast purple carrots, beetroot, sweet potato, parsnips...red onion and baby corn...there may have been other veg...There was also potatoes, which were fried with lemon and...other things, I didn't make the food, I was working... Martha (JAF) Stewart controlled the kitchen wonderfully, and did, pure dead brullyantly.

For pudding, Martha made a strudel, and I made iced gingerbread cupcakes, and a haloweeny rocky road type thing, Sho brought cinder toffee, it was all rather lovely tbh. Well done all, and thank you for eating the nom :)

While eating we watched Evil Dead, The Candyman (who apparently doesn't star Gillian Anderson...sure it doesn't...*sigh* Chris still had a quiet fapp in the corner though...WE ALSO watched Beetlejuice aaand people left, which led to Crai and I watching the end of Halloween and the (new (crap)) Friday 13th.

Woke to leftovers, big cup of tea and a bacon roll, woooo!

I have not been posting bento enough, and I have been making a few recently, I shall start with the latest and work back...
Riiiight, we have Iberico ham and choritzo carbonara with scrambled egg skull and crossbones. Raw purple carrots, baby tomato and carrot. Iced gingerbread cupcake.
A selection of smoked salmon and pepperoni sushis with general raw veggies. Dried bananas and nuts.

Mainly rice and tuna, pudding is dark chocolate and the same fruit and nut combo as the one above.

Egg noodles with sweet chilli and hoi sin sauce with caramelized pork. Edamame and a pumpkin shaped onigiri with carrot, spring onion and avocado.

That is it. So far :)

CIAO!

Bento 1. - Owl (but no gravy)


Banana chillies in the pot
Egg fried rice with chorizo and Mexican spices
Mini fajitas, with the usual chicken and pepper suspects
Spiced cashews

Thought I'd go typically Mexican, for the bento, rofl...nah, just didn't have any sushi rice, AND it's been crappy weather, so went for something easy, but pleasing, and hopefully a little warming!

May update later...

ciao for now xxx

20min til half an hour before I leave for work...

Hey there!!

This weekend has been GREAT! FINALY Jaf and I had the weekend off together!

Friday night we had the 'Tron' Night! Much food was made, many people came, and by most, if not all, a splendid night was had :) The theme was Meze, kinda. There was Two bowls of different cous cous, A rather nice Duck thing, Lamb done twice, Lentils with Butternut Squash AND Roast Chicken...everything spiced and nice! Oh, and Hummus doen 986745628974 different ways by Drew! Pudding was Fruit Salad and Ice-cream :)!

Saturday and Sunday were just...nice, sleepy and sunny, apparently I was cat-like as I KO'd on the floor while playing Pokemon, haahaa *SIGH*

"Thought about taking a photo"...thank the lord he didn't!

We have a small garden on the windowsill, mainly Jaf's doing, well done him, he's nurturing tomatoes and basils aaaand salad leaves :) They are getting quite big now...well, compared to when they were baby seeds anyway!

The latest thing I did (which happened to start on Friday) was to start planning Bento lunches for two days of our week...ordered things from the Amaaaahzon on Fri, and have planned the first lunch for when everything arrives!! AM EXCITED! VERY!
