I’ve been in a mega rut regarding food. Bored of cooking doesn’t even begin to describe it… mainly because whatever I cook I always get a comment or two, or three: I don’t like this, I prefer it the other way, why did you cook this, too cooked, too uncooked, I don’t like spicy, not spicy enough… blah blah blah…
This evening I decided to cook something I actually wanted to eat and I’m going totally out on a limb. (You’ll hear the moaning in about 45 minutes… get ready).
The recipe is from this book:
which I’ve had for ages and never used (I’ve ear-marked a few others too)… and it’s here:
It sounds simply enough, right? As I said it’s the first time I’ve tried it…. so don’t blame me… (I would like to add one of my children hates onions… I think he needs to get over it… we’ll see)
Whilst cooking I’ve been watching the movie Jane Eyre. The 2011 version with Michael Fassbender… (omg)… such a beautiful version.
I need to re-read it before college starts in September and I thought it might help me to have a nice image of Mr Rochester in mind… it’s a much bigger book that I remember!
I’m also attempting to cook Basmati rice in this way… which could easily go wrong and sounds terribly complicated… send good vibes! From the same book.
While I wait for everything to cook … I might re-watch the last scene a few times… all in name of cultural research, you understand.
The film is currently on Netflix and if you haven’t seen it… you must.
while you're ahead... 
Oh I’m so with you on the family meals business. I hate it! Always someone who isn’t keen on something. I think there are only a couple of meals that husband and sons will all happily eat (although husband isn’t too bad.) Thank you for sharing this recipe, I actually think it’s one that might go down well. Your ‘Kate’s Brownies’ has been a sure fire recipe for several years now both at home and elsewhere. It was even ok as a pudding when I forgot to put the flour in once! x
