I suppose one of the good things about being back at work is that my job is in the City, so I have access to cool places to wander round and spend my money at during lunch breaks.
Yesterday I bought a lovely blazer half price from Jigsaw. My work friend E took me there, I loved everything I saw. I've never bought anything from Jigsaw before but threw caution to the wind and was practically chucking money at them in the end. Navy blazer with white spots, I love you hard.
I also bought Nigella's latest offering "Nigellissima". Have you been watching the series on ABC1?
HAHAHA!
So sue me, I'm tired and the kids love them.
Stay tuned for me actually cooking something from the actual cookbook rather than heating up some frozen fish sticks. They were Jamie Oliver brand though. Practically gourmet.
Maybe I should cook every recipe from the book and then blog about it?? I TOTALLY THINK THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE!??
What? Julia who?
Damnit. I need another gimmick.
Ideas in the comments please.
I'm speed blogging because I have a date to see Les Mis tonight. Woot! Finally!
Keep your ingredients fresh people. You know I do.
Til tomorrow.

I just love Nigella. I won't hear a bad word said against her. I love her food writing style, I love the recipes, I love her humour, I love the TV shows, I love her look, I love how she's had so much grief and loss in her life and still manages to enjoy the good stuff. I especially love how she hams it up in the TV shows and plays up the sex-ay food unctuousnessness stuff, which I know drives some people batty.
I love it all.
She is inspirational. After reading through this new book I was totally overtaken by the urge to cook something different and tasty and Anglo-Italian.

Like your dotty jacket.That's why we work - to throw cash at the shops in our lunch break! I might interview that Nigella, see what she's really like! Ha!
ReplyDeleteYes you should!! Damn straight re:work, It's what keeps me going xx
DeleteThat blazer is STUNNING, please wear it on Monday. Excellent buying! I missed you today. Do you think Nigella looks slightly like Peg, only with a better stylist? xx
ReplyDeleteYes! Definitely similarities A. Will wear Monday unless its too hot. Which it prob will be.
DeleteIs that ^ Ali?!!! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteMy 2 cents: Nigella's no chef but the lady is a ta-len-ted cook and she knows how to work it. Girl power!
I assumed it was Ali! Love Nigella.
DeleteYes it was me! Who else would leave an inane comment about Peg? I've been obsessed about her all week! :)
DeletePeg is underrated.
DeleteAll the cool people like Peg. And NP. And this blog. *just sayin'*
DeleteHahah cool people like Rhia and Ali.
DeleteAnd me!
DeleteAnd Emily. (this is Ali again!) PS thought of your blog earlier when I had a disaster of epic proportions with non-coloursafe playdough of varying colours, a pale leather lounge and my child's hair. Mmmmm.
DeleteOh No! This does sound like a disaster! Tell me everything on Monday.
DeleteYou could model your fab new jacket for the blog because that hasn't been done either.
ReplyDeleteHa! Maybe I will.Cos I'm so stylish.
DeleteOoh nice blazer. I have my eye on a striped one in navy and white. Come to think of it much like my dress last night!
ReplyDeleteNothing beats navy and white!! xx
DeleteJigsaw tres elegant ..
ReplyDeleteI too worship at the alter of St Nigella...though putting ham in a rolled pork roast I thought was a step too far.
smr, I like a bit of pig on pig action! Ewwww...no, but it's true! Ham makes everything better. As does bacon.
DeleteLOVE IT! I'm a newbie to your blog and first post I see and I'm nodding and smiling and oh-my-gosh that's something I'd do. YOu don't need a gimmick, just keep posting.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now I've got a certain song from the Sound of Music running through my head!
