Main Course ... Mmmmmm!

Well, I have to say that the piece de resistance of this course was the delicious special Valentine's Day Sauce that went with it ... based loosely on Delia's recipe, this orange and red wine sauce was, well, delicious, delectable, divine ... if I say so myself! The rest was pretty good, too, I thought!

Going bananas!

I am very happy to announce that I feel much better today! I think it was a combination of tiredness and not eating much at lunch that contributed to not feeling so well yesterday. However, I had a pot of pasta today which kept me going, and, although still quite tired, I'm very happy!

It was great to arrive home to a delicious plate of spaghetti bolognese - H was keen to try out the recipe he get from our visitor (who is, at present, flying to the other side of the world) - and he made a great job of it! Mmmmm!

So I have decided to reciprocate by using up our old bananas in Delia's banana and walnut without the walnuts loaf. Now, I've never had a cake that wobbled so much before when I cut into it! I was a bit afraid that the insides were going to spill out as soon as I pierced the crusty outer crust ... fortunately it's just the bananas bulging around a bit, but it's very tasty! (H has just finished it, and he has also really enjoyed it - more than he thought he would! Me too!)

School has been school, just in case you're wondering ... although the General Sixth Form RE was marginally better than normal because I showed them a clip from the BBC about the woman who wants to die and that led into an interesting discussion about euthanasia.
