Our Pussy cat in the snow in December 2010 when he was still fat.....
Snow is coming. Blowing in tonight on the west wind. Weekend plans gone haywire - my big sister who has been in Beirut, and who was coming down on the London train won’t make it now...nor my niece’s boyfriend......
I’ve been prickly and impatient, indecisive and headachey all day....
I cooked a big Coconut Thai Fish Curry for six of us on Saturday - now destined for the freezer. And a thick pumpkin soup - but we can eat that up for lunches - good for keeping this cold at bay....
Tonight’s cake ( second version) for another birthday ‘boy’ is definitely not vegan - Carrot, Walnut and Apricot ( my usual hybrid recipe - this time Delia and Ottolenghi) - smothered in a cloud of cream cheese icing, tinged with orange zezt and spattered with chopped toasted walnuts.
And with the candles flickering in the half dark and the smiling faces all round it’s an offering of fire and ice.....
