We have a busy day ahead of us but all seem to be in high spirits so i’m not worried. With our closure soon approaching I’m getting the feeling similar to that of a school child. I just want to laze around and chat but there is still work to be done, we are not children anymore.
Salads:
Med veg chickpea
Spinach + herb rice
Roast pepper + tomato pasta
Soup: Leek + potato
Sandwich: Cooked ham, Smoked mozzarella, Chilli relish + tomato
I love when i’m quizzed on my quirks because it gives me a chance to reevaluate my mindset. Many people reserve their opinions or questions in fear of being socially ostracized but every so often I come a cross someone that asks ‘intrusive’ questions which I find beneficial. If you’re not willing to explore the idea of new ways of life then what’s the point in living?
Salads:
Black bean braise with Japanese pumpkin
Kimchi rice
Tomato + basil pasta
It’s been a docile morning which has left me feeling a little deflated. I have a few errands to get through but my mind is blank so my short to do list looks like a mountain to climb. The protests have carried on around the country and i’m still perplexed, who thinks making your community a war zone is a good idea? I just wanna go back to where I came from and nap.
Salads:
Black lentil curry
Turmeric + ginger rice
Sausage + ham pasta
Soup: Gazpacho
Sandwich: Cumberland sausage, Cheddar, Apple chutney + tomato
The riots that have popped off around this country are puzzling to say the least. You’re destroying the environment you live in as a protest again immigrants that move here who are supposedly ruining the environment that you live in… makes sense. 20% of the NHS staff in this country aren’t British nationals. Should we send them ‘home’ and watch our NHS disintegrate? Who will treat the gammon that become limbless on a Saturday night?
Salads:
Braised pinto beans + roast peppers
Lemon + ginger rice
Roast squash ragu pasta
We’re a man down and it has been a insanely busy morning but it’s been pushing along nicely. I’m excited for the rush as i’m going to working the counter and the salad section is looking scrumptious! I was attacked by booky bugs last night in the humid weather so if I looked absent it’s because i’m trying to not rip my skin off.
Salads:
Chickpea + sweet potato with mango chutney dressing
Rosemary + squash rice
Sausage + ham pasta
Potato salad with Caesar dressing
sandwich: Chorizo, Chilli pecorino, spicy peach relish + tomato
It’s been a quiet morning which is okay as I have been so overstimulated this week and my mind has been all over the gaff. Apparently there’s going to be a thunderstorm later so I might fulfill my peaceful day by having a rewarding nap. I love a good nap.
Salads:
Mung bean + cauliflower curry
Leek + dill rice
Mushroom + tomato pasta
Tuna + black olive potato salad
Sometimes I understand my mothers vexation when it comes to my chatty patty antics. If you get me engrossed in a topic all my other responsibilities go to the wind. She should put a sign on the door to remind people that i’m easily distracted. The only way I can combat this is by not engaging with people. You could ask ‘what’s in the soup?’ and you’ll leave 20 mins later after we’ve discussed the origins of the tomato plant.
Salads:
Moroccan spiced chickpeas
Herbed rice salad
Sausage + ham pasta
Soup: Gazpacho
Sandwich: Pastrami beef, Brie, chilli relish + tomato
As a pasty person you’d assume the sun and I are not the best of friends but this year i’ve been basking in the polluted rays of that big star. I can’t wait to sit in her glory later on while reading a book that convinces me that we’re not as evolved as we think we are. Accompanied with a deli dinner it will be an idyllic evening, here’s hoping.
Salads:
Crispy tofu rice
Cauliflower + pumpkin seed pesto pasta
Five spice noodle salad
Soup: Gazpacho
Happy Monday people! It’s a very bubbly morning and the population seem in high spirits. It’s gonna be a hot couple of days and while I love this weather it brings many challenges. Top one being keeping cool when a ‘tricky’ customer graces us with their sweaty presence. Patience my hungry friends, we’re in this together.
Salads:
Med veg lentils
Rainbow rice
Smokey aubergine + tomato pasta
Soup: Gazpacho
Sandwich: Parma ham, Pecorino cheese, Jalapeno relish + tomato
Yesterday consisted of a plethora of topics, so random but enlightening. Who wants to talk about the weather when you can discuss American alleyways and the effects of trauma on the body? There are so many interesting things going on in the world at any given time if you can’t make conversation out of thin air you might just have to accept that you’re boring…
Salads:
Braised squash + black beans
Carrot + dill rice
Sausage + ham pasta
Panzanella with feta dressing
Soup: Tuscan tomato
I really should stop reading this book, I don’t need to be encouraged to see humans as glorified animals. I already have the bad habit of lessening people social problems by putting it into the grand scheme of things. Like, if you and your friend fell out over a boy i’ll remind you that the ever changing weather patterns cause major stress on the crops worldwide which will lead to mass famine for the human race.
Salads:
Thai spiced chickpea + sweet potato curry
Kimchi rice
Leek, black olive + tomato pasta

Happy hump day, this week is flying by! I’ve starting engaging in the adult pastime of reading. I find it hard to sit and concentrate so reading is a hard task for me but my brother has recommended a book that has kept me entertained. I’m intrigued to see if I will commit to reading the whole thing. We shall see.

Ginger + turmeric rice
Mushroom + tomato pasta
Chickpea salad with paneer dressing

I got into work earlier than usual in the hopes of getting a head start on my catering orders. Y’all are so distracting i’m now playing catch up! The menu is looking positively fire today serving up surf and turf realness. I’m so blessed to have a chef as a Mother. Well, it’s a blessing and a curse, I consciously have to try and not eat my body weight on the daily!
Salads:
Mexican beans
Herbed rice
Sausage + ham pasta
Tuna salad with potato + black olive
What an idyllic weekend it was, but that is a thing of the past now and the Monday feeling is definitely hitting hard. I always try to mentally prepare for my workload to increase in the summer months but it always hits me like a ton of bricks. I also have some side quests I wanna complete, it’s all just a lot.

Moroccan spiced lentils
Sumac + chive rice
Broccoli, chilli + garlic pasta
Soup: Spinach, cumin + tomato
Sandwich: Speck ham, Swiss cheese, Spicy peach relish + tomato
It’s been such a messy week but we’ve made it to Friday. I’m going on adventure with my dragon this weekend and i’m very excite (read in Borat voice). Somehow I still have 101 errands to run but such as life. It’s been a frightfully busy morning and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down. Time for a hot lunch rush.
Salads:
Med veg white bean
Spinach + herb rice
Roast pepper + tomato pasta
Panzanella with salted ricotta dressing

Sandwich: Chorizo, Manchego, Sundried tomato + caramelized onion relish
It’s been a boring week consisting of a lot of adulting so this weekend I will invest in a little R&R to make myself feel better (if only for 24 hours). We dined at Silk Road in Camberwell last night. Fresh, tasty food at a reasonable price, add it to your forever growing list of places to eat. Get your sun lotion out, a whisper of summer is coming.
Salads:
Braised aubergine + black eyed beans
Spinach + herb rice
Mushroom + tomato pasta
Soup: Chilled Gazpacho
The day started with me receiving thank you cards from my year 6 breakfast crew. Even 10 year old’s have to endure my agony aunt antics but turns out they enjoy my passionate rants! My heart is full. That joy was short lived as I then had to return back to the misery of the adulting population, at least the sun is out.
Salads:
Peri peri cauliflower + split peas
Spinach + herb rice
Cauliflower + cashew pesto pasta
Dill dressed carrot salad with croutons + salted ricotta
Soup: Sweet potato + ginger
That rain last night was intense. I have 101 errands to run today so i’m really up against it but come rain or shine (have to account for all weather scenarios in London) I will get it done. Can’t wait to fall into your arms this evening and forget about the stresses of the day.
Salads:
Chickpea coconut curry
Ginger + turmeric rice
Sausage + ham ragu pasta
Warm salad with cheese dressing
Soup: Pea, potato + dill
I feel like the only person in the vicinity with a smile on my face. England lost, am I surprised? No. Spain were the better team, we just had tons of spirit(s) (that’s an alcohol joke). Considering how popular Spain is as a holiday destination surely we should be just as happy that they won, I’m sure the costa del sole is popping right now, go catch a flight if you want to feel the after effects of a win!
Salads:
Mediterranean braised beans
Lemon, garlic + rosemary rice
Broccoli, chilli + garlic pasta
Chicken bacon, leek + potato salad
Soup: Tomato + mushroom
Sandwich: Fennel salami, Provola, Tomato + jalapeno relish
I have a big old stack of work to execute today so I haven’t got that Friday feeling. However I’m in a chipper mood and ready to smash out this lunch rush. I can’t wait to see the population on Monday and I’m praying England win it. Do other countries reorganize large events to fit around a football match? We do misery very well but for once it would be nice to see pure joy.
Salads:
Black bean + aubergine
Crispy shallot + edamame rice
Roast pepper + tomato pasta
Sandwich: Garlic salami, Pecorino, Spicy peach relish + tomato
