Is it the end, or just the beginning.....?

I hope you are all having a good day - rain seems to have set in for the day today, but it is not too heavy, and it is certainly not that cold, so my walk to do my shopping at lunchtime was actually nicely refreshing.

Did spend quite a bit - bought a birthday present for a friend, and bought ingredients for a paella that I am making for the girls tomorrow. I threw away many of my herbs and spices when I moved on account of not knowing just how many years they had been in the cupboard, so really had to start from scratch again today - although at least I know what I have bought is fresh (er) and will be yummy (and much fun). It was also nice trawling the market for my produce rather than doing it all at the supermarket. OK my visit to the fishmonger may have been slightly more expensive than buying frozen from Tescos but it all adds to the fun of the meal I think.

On account of my enjoying cooking, and entertaining, I have treated myself to a new cookbook called "meals in heels" which is for "dinner party divas" who want to get as much prepared in advance as they can so that they can be enjoying their cocktails with their guests rather than slaving away in the kitchen for hours while everyone else is having fun......tis my sort of book, and I just know it will be used rather a lot

Tonight I am off to see the Kings Speech with said birthday friend above, and will use clubcard vouchers to get something to eat beforehand.

And all in all, life remains good :T

Sounds like a nice weekend planned - Thursday is the start of my weekend

DH cooks a great Paella from The Silver Spoon cookbook - I love it, but fishmongers are thin on the ground nowadays sadly Enjoy the film - it's fab x

I cook paela - from my Nintendo DS chip. It is wonderful and we have a splendid fish shop about 200m from the house. Enjoy!

Oh yes, am certainly doing that

I am certainly looking forward to cooking tomorrow - but tonight it will be the turn of Bella Italia to provide the food, so I will enjoy that for sure!

I hope you all have a good evening x
