Slipped into the repertoire
Some dishes from Nigella Express have managed to ingratiate themselves into our foody armoury. Thai curry paste + veggies (inc butternut squash and sweet potato) + coconut milk = curry is one of them, hardly rocket science but we would never have done it, pre 2008. The Doughnut French Toast is another. I grew up with Eggy Bread an almost weekly occurrence on the menu- for my brother at least- and yet I would never previously have thought to have it sweet.
This morning I got up, feeling most refreshed, at about 9am, and thought ‘I am going to be super girlfriend, I shall make little pancakes!’…but then I thought on it for a moment, remembered the half loaf of bread in the bread bin, which we wouldn’t be using for at least 24 hours…and hit on a winning idea.
In a bonus inspirational moment I heated up the left over chocolate sauce from last night’s Ice Cream & …, and stuck that in a wee dish on the side for dipping purposed. Big pot of tea on the side. Bingo!
You might well ask, how it is that we came to have left over chocolate sauce? And such a particularly small amount which we could surely have just finished last night. What can I say, we are a pair of abstemious puritans who know when to say ’stop’!!!
mmmm yes, eggy bread!
