Inevitably our mother was very democratic when giving her critic but that’s just because she fears showing favouritism. My brother flash fried his peach and apple mix in a pan with a little Szechuan pepper and his crumble had a little cardamom and almond in it. My crumble had some oats and I massaged some Masala wine, ginger and lemon zest into my plum and cherry filling. At the end of the day we had crumble and ice cream for dinner so there are no losers…other than my brother, because I won.

This weekend was an eventful one. Today i’m aching all over and i’m not sure why so…that’s great. One thing I feel I should mention is the hospitality staff I encountered this weekend were great. When you’re nice to people you get a lot in return they contributed massively to my drunken state!

Soup: Lightly spiced cauliflower + lentil
Happy Friday y’all! As I can no longer take my anger out on the coffee machine, I decided to go to a driving range and hit some tiny white balls for a couple of hours. I know nothing about golf I have a few customers that have tried to enlighten me on the ‘sport’ but it’s all Greek to me.

I tried porridge with almond milk yesterday, it’s a no from me. Today I had Oreo cereal. I feel like these cereals are created for stoners. Their bright colours and promising branding lours you in but it’s completely average in taste and actually a little disappointing. Due to the lack of drugs in my system I was disappointed.

My heart keeps on thumping in my chest and no, it’s not what you’re thinking i’m not in love (im in love with myself but that’s just narcissism) but it’s very distracting. Don’t worry Dr. Google said i’m fine and I believe them #21stcenturykid
