Tonight I was given a two hours, a tenner, some ineffective kitchen utensils, a brave member of staff and a kitchen, all to myself, so I could cook my dinner.
It amazes me how hard it is to find what I'd consider basic ingredients (such as coconut milk, tofu, rice wine vinegar etc.) here in the suburbs of SE London.
And don't even get me started on the coffee choices here.
This time M&S saved the day.
After two months of underwhelming, uninspiring, unseasoned 'unfood', which we're not even allowed to dish up for ourselves (due to health and safety) it was bloody brilliant to remember what it feels like to plan, shop, cook, share and eat a proper meal with flavour.*
*Might have been a teensy bit generous with the garlic and chilli but whatevs, making up for lost time.
