Made a poached chicken; allowing it to cool in the stock keeps it juicy and tender. It was a veg stock; based on a Rick Stein Chinese recipe.
Did a 5k run yesterday Sat early doors. Rosie runner was there again; is doing a Postgrad in Musicology at Kings..graduated from Cambridge..my eyes lit up last week..compare to some of the dross I know. Was going into work for four hours but #thebosscandoone Better off going to an art installation; a case of art producing art as the artist's a looker. Her Bora Bora one was good. For me it was bitterly cold. Brixton has a lot of pulse; happenings in container storage spaces. British Rail to Victoria; rail replacement from Hammersmith to Turnham Green.
Wanted French cuisine and the steak tartare was divine. We had Bordeaux one of my faves. It's nice when we're loud and there's hushed tones around us. Back to back crème caramels; having had one the night before. Cote were spot on; nearby was Buenos Aires steakhouse so it's a space and a half. I'd actually heard earlier 'Have you seen those tracksuit bottoms that Kate Middleton wears?' Found out that Leicester had won and reached 60 points.
Worked 9-2.30 today followed by sofa time. Salmon on the smoker, spinach, mac n cheese, mash, veg, a hot Scotch bonnet.
Fri worked 5-5; Clara's belated birthday in the evening and we went to Jaffna House Sri Lankan style. Hoppers did the job. Affordable place. There was a quite gorgeous pic of Helena Bonham Carter in the Standard.
