For dinner, try The Roasting Tin books by Rulmini Iyer. I own most of her books because they’re so easy to make and truly delicious results.

I especially recommend The Roasting Tin Around The World, or The Green Roasting Tin.

One has my favourite chilli recipe, the other pilau rice and mushrooms.

To clarify, that was lunch.

Anything in a pitta with a bit of mustard. Usually sliced chicken and salad. The mustard matters.

Or beans on toast, if I’m feeling decadent, with paprika stirred in and sprinkled with grated cheese.

Today, smoked tofu and beetroot were surprisingly tasty *and* filling on top of a mixed salad

I’m very sorry to hear that, but remember the joy you brought with that bedsheet. It’s the joy that matters.

Beautiful and unsavoury is the perfect bio.

Not a fan of Rankle, but today I guided The Boy to a 100% correct first time result so I feel this achievement needs to be shared.
(I have to clarify he’s apparently achieved this before.)

Thank you. For the bar recommendation and the tip about the serum. I had been wondering if something like that might be worth a go so I feel reassured it wasn’t a completely daft thought.

Really? I’ve never actually ventured inside because of how overpowering the smell is from the door. I’ll give them a go as that’s an easy one to get hold of thanks.
And I’ll hope the tin I got with my first random purchase of solid shampoo is an appropriate size!

I think I quite liked their bottled varieties so I’m willing to give it a go - I’ve accepted I’ll have to try lots before I find the best available, rather than finding something that’s perfect.
