Turkish spiced sweetcorn rice
Smokey aubergine pasta
Soup of the day: Gazpacho
Can’t please them all, some love this weather some hate it. I’ll save you the time. yes I know ‘it’s hot out there’ and ‘yes it’s nice the sun is out again’. I’m glad I work indoors there’s no A/C at lunch because we have to keep the door open (thanks covid) but at least the shop is shaded!!

Edamame + crispy shallot rice
Roast vegetable ragu pasta

It’s not for me. I got desperate and ordered a pair of trainers online…they are the ugliest crepes i have ever purchased. They were too big uncomfortable and just an all round no. How did I get it so wrong. So today i’m rocking converse and I can’t wait for the foot ache at the end of the day from wearing shoes with ZERO structure. Yay.

Panzanella
Sandwich of the day: Chorizo · Iberico cheese · sun-dried tomato + fresh tomato

Rice noodle salad
Leek · olive + tomato pasta
Soup: Leek · dill + tomato
If you have a family member that you don’t see eye to eye with do you stay silent or do you explain your point of view? It’s an excuse we hear time and time again ‘it’s a generation thing’ or ‘don’t bother their old and stuck in their ways’. This cements the premise that no one is capable of change. If you can change your habits at 20 you can at 80.

Squash + oregano rice
Chicken ragu pasta
Soup of the day: Spiced lentils
I don’t really put much effort into how I look but I have a specific family member that I feel the need to dress up for. If I don’t, I know they will silently judge me or make a snide comment. When I say ‘dress up’ I mean no rips or stains in my clothing. But still.

I need this weekend to come round pronto. I feel deflated. I’m also in dire need of new shoes, trainers to be exact. I’m lucky I have the counter to hide my sinful shoes. The soles are hanging on with a tiny bit of glue who knows how long they have left. Shoes are one thing I just can’t bring myself to buy online and with the new guidelines for shopping i’d rather be bare feet!

Moroccan spiced lentils
Cumin roasted carrot rice
Chicken + ham ragu pasta
Soup of the day: Spinach · Tomato + cumin
I watched Funny Girl and The Breakfast Club. Maybe if they weren’t so pre hyped I would have liked them more. Funny girl was good but WAY to long, Barbra Steisand is amazing. The Breakfast Club is a great concept I just feel it could have been executed better. Just my opinion.

Last night after working 12 hours I went home and cut a fringe. This was a bad idea. I have curly hair, which means when it dries i have a small afro on my forehead. I look like a show poodle. So i’d like to announce that I have signed up for crufts 2021 for best in show. Woof woof… #badhairdontcare
