worked it out now!
Turns out I had spiced potato wedges in my freezer and had already eaten the crinkle cut chips. So I had them with a quorn 1/4 burger on a wholemeal roll with melted mature cheddar, onion and mixed lettuce leaves plus ketchup. It was very nice and eaten without cutlery in front of the telly.

I hummus, therefore I am ...
Goat's cheese and wholemeal pita bread - both been kept at room temperature for a week so each with a spot of green mould to chop off - washed down with a full-bodied Cotes du Rhône
I spent my lunch-break getting the integral ingredients of a spicy vegetable and lentil stew. I've cooked it before so I know it's tasty, plus it's really cheap and I can cook a large enough batch to have several lunches from it later in the week (cheap = good as I just spunked away all my money going to Italy for Unsound.)
Then instead I brought a giant fuck-off pizza (Sainsburys, pepperoni, stuffed crust) which I'm intending to consume with great pleasure in about five minutes. It's been a shit day; don't think lentils are going to cut it.

ahh, what went wrong?
late lunch was a one of Cornish pasty shops new flavours of three cheese - not bad and didnt require ketchup- was gutted that i didnt go for the (also new) spicy meatball with cheese crust - will get that tomorrow and report back - tonight was hors doevres with tiny fish and (macdonalds style) chips (two per cone), spring rolls, mini tofu squares (no sauce), chicken satay, mini fish croquettes and champagne. Just finished a packet of chilli, lime and coriander chipsticks (by NC snacks - never heard of em) and two teacakes, sparkling water and cup of mint tea.

This turned out really tasty. I'm really pleased as it was a complete experiment. Had it with a little bit of pasta and so it came out like like a kind of spicy south american minesrone type soupy goodness ting.

Last night was pie, roast potatoes & carrots, steamed broccoli, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Got a new measuring jug for making the Yorkshire mix - graded at intervals of 10ml/1 fluid ounce with an angled measurer so you can see the volume from above. I'm probably far more excited about this than is really healthy.
Tonight the screaming hordes have demanded macaroni cheese.
I bought my flatmate one of these:

Measuring jug and scales combined. She still hasn't got it out the box!! Argh!!

Not sure a pestle and mortar will get the basil chopped up soj, you got one of those hand squizzers?
dammit!
Nah. what I think I'm gonna do is maybe toast the nuts and do them in the M&P, and just chop the rest. Just got a new kitchen knife so should be okay, if a little time-consuming.

I'm thinking about making some pesto tonight, with me home grown basil.
I've been pondering the use of nuts other than pine nuts on the kitchen garden thread.
I think I'm going to try it with pistachios.
Served with pasta and green beans.

How big is your blender? I make it in a 1 or 1.5 litre blender & that works OK. Is it one of these?

I'd have a go, but if you've done similar before and had a nightmare maybe not. Don't drop those specs in the bowl

Being a savoury sort of chap I don't really do the pineapple but wifey does so it is in. Just a small amount : )
