Busy bees

Well there hasn't been much time to cook this week as I've been working extra hours in preparation for going on holiday. I haven't been abroad in 5 years and I am extremely excited to finally be going to New York City, something I've been dreaming of for as long as I can remember. Having done some reading it looks as though my week there should be amazing. I've been busy swotting up on the galleries, museums, architecture and, of course, the food! I can't wait to report back when I return but the next few weeks while I'm preparing and making sure everything is done so that my day job doesn't suffer will keep me fully occupied.

The last couple of days I've relied on food from the freezer and my parents. Mum made some cauliflower cheese and gifted me a portion for today's dinner (she reassures me that the cauliflower was big enough for several meals!) Yesterday I had one of the flans that she made for me at the weekend (a mixture of Stilton, veg and seeds contained in a spelt pastry base). Tomorrow however the boyfriend is coming round and my options are to do something really lazy like cheese on toast or something more adventurous. I have a few hours at work and some appointments to organise before I make that decision!
