What a strange morning. Every so often a situation will happen in the deli and then when it’s done I step back and realise that i’ve matured! I’m very opinionated but i’ve learnt from standing behind the counter that sometimes you just need to let a person have their moment and not say anything. I rarely do this and it should be noted that if I say nothing it means I have no hope for you. All T all shade
Salads:
Green lentils with basil + zucchini
Harissa rice
Rustic vegetable ragu pasta
Soup: Spiced chickpea
I woke up 30 minutes late this morning and like with everything, I blame my mother. She put the heating on and it was so cosy my body didn’t arise from it’s restful slumber! It’s really hard owning a business but a food business is even harder because people are constantly giving you food to try. Sounds great until your BMI is sky high…
Salads:
Mexican beans
Turmeric + ginger rice
Bacon + leek pasta
Pearl barley with roast tomato + rosemary
Soup: Broccoli + potato
Sandwich: Parma ham, Camembert cheese + honey
This morning I woke up in a burrito like state. I put on a hundred layers and braced the cold. I’m not religious but I found myself praying to any God that would listen in the hope that I won’t slip and fall…and i didn’t. So thank you to whatever God that looked over me this morning. You’re the best!
Salads:
Mild madras with black eyed beans + winter veg
Cumin, coriander seeds and mustard seed rice

I could talk about the sub zero temperatures outside but I can only be grateful for it because remember the hotter our winters get the less time we have before the icebergs melt. But on a lighter note my brothers birthday went to plan! I’m actually a little shocked because i’ve never made a scavenger hunt before, it went so well i’m considering a new career path…
Salads:
Smokey pumpkin + kidney beans
Sumac rice
Broccoli · chilli + garlic pasta
Soup: Lightly spiced parsnip + potato
Sandwich: Milano salame, Comte cheese, chilli relish + tomato
Gurl. TGIF and all that but it’s going to be a long day! Friday’s are usually our busiest day and then we’re working late tonight. fun, fun, fun. Tomorrow the scavenger hunt will commence and i’m ready i’ve been planing this for weeks! I’m also making a tower of Krispy Kreme so if the hunt fails there’s always that.
Salads:
Thai coconut curry
Edamame + crispy shallot rice
Chicken ragu fregola
Soup: Med veg · lentil + tomato
So i’ve made a scavenger hunt for my brothers birthday and i’ve been testing my clues out of the customers. I think I might have made them too difficult. I’m not the most intelligent being around (I couldn’t even spell intelligent) but this might be more of a challenge then I anticipated!
Salads:
Chilli non carne
Cumin roasted carrot rice
Smokey aubergine + tomato pasta
Sou: Indian spiced red lentil

Korean rice
Roast squash + rosemary pasta
Soup: tomato · basil + peppers
It’s another wet miserable day. I’m still going to take the deli dog out for a big trek after work though, come rain or shine! Yesterday a customer very bravely brought us in some of their attempts at vegan cooking. I will not post my review online because no matter how it tasted it was a lovely thought! I just hope Mad put her loving socks on today…

Here’s what I ate yesterday: A lava bun from Kaphian (highly recommend), Patisserie goods from WA Japanese bakery (get the sesame cheesecake), the vegetarian bundle from Taco Bell (Fun food but obviously there’s better Mexican food out there) and to finish Creme cookies in Soho (at £4 each I don’t think it’s worth it but it was a nice treat). Did I have a good weekend? YES.

I went to the supermarket at 10pm last night and the vibe was weird. I’m in this superstore that had no one in it apart from the employees restocking the shelves, I had this overwhelming feeling come over me...I just wanted to dance, there was just so much room! Highly recommend a late night shop!

Spinach + herb rice

11 degrees today, it’s gonna a hot one! January is such a long month, I just want it to be February already! I made truffle risotto yesterday needless to say it was delicious. Does anyone else do a little dance when they taste good food? I really think I should start cooking for a living.

So yesterday I was making some fritters and my frying oil went mental. I was shot multiple times with little pellets, It was a mess! This being said I still persevered and the fritter was tasty, I can’t say it was worth the pain but it provided my mother with entertainment for the evening.
Salads:
Autumn root veggie curry
Rainbow rice
Pasta fagoli
Soup: Lightly spiced lentil + tomato

The first week back is coming to a close and I think it went pretty well.

My diet many consisted of biscuits over Christmas so I needed the deli to re open too!!

I’m planing a party for my brothers birthday. Not a party, more like ‘a thing to do’. I want to do a scavenger hunt because my brother likes solving puzzles and I can easily make it covid safe! Plus I rarely do anything nice for the dear boy so this should earn me some serious sister points! #siblingrivalry
Salads:
Mild curry with sweet potato
Tofu rice
Cauliflower + cashew pesto pasta
Soup: Leek · potato + tomato
I don’t know what came over me yesterday but I felt the need for clean out in our kitchen (at home). The collection of goods we’ve accumulated over the years is just ridiculous. 20 varieties of curry pastes, 10 different breeds of rice, 15 types of noodles… but the spice cupboard… 47 different spice mixtures (that doesn’t include that we have 4 different brands of Chinese 5 spice). Chef = hoarder.
Salads:
Chilli non carne
Mushroom + tomato pasta
Sandwich: Pastrami beef, Pecorino cheese, Jalapeno relish + tomato
Soup: Spiced chickpea + potato
It feels good to be back at work, for now. I feel like a fully charged phone! I was woken at 5am this morning by my darling dog so I decided to watch Modern Family until my alarm went off. Yesterday mainly consisted on people walking in and doing a little dance to celebrate the opening of the deli. We love to see it.

Ginger + turmeric rice

And the Deli is…OPEN!!! How’s 2021 treating you so far? same as 2020? Well we’re back and so far it’s going good! My new years resolution is to be kind and make better choices. It’s hard to find a resolution to better myself because lets be honest, it’s hard to improve perfection #humble
