Friday night made banananananana muffins in readiness for purple_peril‘s impending visit on the Saturday. Sadly, an accident befell them. OK, we ate most of them.

So on Saturday morning, while perlmonger cycled over to Bedminster to do some shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, then made a proper old fashioned gingerbread from Nigella’s Domestic Goddess book. And it were utterly fab. It transpires that purple_peril is trying to lose weight, so we have had to (wo)manfully dispose of the ginger cake this week. We managed.

The three of us sallied (that’s a pun, for those who know her) off to Costco – nothing exciting: pork, chicken thighs, another shiatsu cushion (for Dave WINOLJ), part-baked baguettes. Very boring, as we are on an economy drive.

Then home to cook pork with sage, cream and shallots, and natter. Sally stayed over, so we fed her crumpets and muffins with jam for breakfast, and then… I can’t actually remember what we did Sunday. Spodded, I think. Lazy time – was good.
