Already Friday again and less than three months left till Christmas. It feels very surreal considering that we had a 27C this week…

This week has just whizzed by and the only thing I’ve done is to attend a crash course in photography with my friend Jenny. We were taught both the basics and a few good tips, so I am really excited about photography at the moment.

Other than that, I have spent some time in the kitchen preparing the monthly cakes for work.

And tonight we’re going to Bucks to spend the weekend with Christopher’s mother and brother. It is his mother’s birthday, so we will put her in a comfy chair with a glass of bubbly while the rest of us take over the kitchen.

Next week’s menu is as follows:

Friday: just grabbing something on way to Bucks

Saturday: Jerusalem artichoke soup with girolles; poussins with lemon and rosemary, roast potatoes and jus; tarte tatin, vanilla icecream; truffles.

Sunday: tacos when we’re back home

• broccoli and stilton soup
• burgers with smoky polenta chips
• lamb casserole and pressed potatoes
• Ottolenghi’s one pot wonder

No cosy dinner at home tonight for us, but we had a lovely one last week (picture at the top) so we’ll be ok. Have a great weekend, guys!
