'cc' sunday

Today is sunday. It is also raining today. Also, I have a cold today. My throat and head feel terrible. Early start to the day at work, got out early which was nice! So many options for how I spend my day. Pottering about at home seems like the perfect way to wind down and relax.

I'm calling this particular sunday 'cc' because of the cooking and cleaning I intend to do today. I've already bleached the bins, soaked the woolens, done the dishes (many many dishes after A's saturday night Indian feast - compliments to food safari). Washing is on the racks, vacuuming has been done and bedroom is clean.

I'm staying at A's house for another week or so, depending on when my friends V and I have found a place to rent - homeless Brits lol. So housework and homemaking has been done ... now for the cooking! C brings home a box of fruit each week from his grandparents, sometimes we get through it all and other times, like this week, none of us have felt like eating fruit. So I thought I might use it to make poached fruit.

I've found this nice Jamie Oliver recipe for poached fruit crumble, which I think I can adapt to incorporate my fruits and lack of spices (all mine are at home!) to make a yummy dessert tonight!

We have quite a few bananas as well so I thought I'd try a banana bread - found this Bill Granger recipe on the smh website, which I think I'll use - got some sour cream left over from friday night's bisque which needs to be used up!

What else? Oh yes, C's girlfriend brought over a massive bag of shaved parmesan, we've got quite alot of parsley left from various meals this week as well as some ciabatta rolls that we picked up real cheap from the Preston Markets yesterday ($5 for a massive loaf of italian bread and the rolls!), so it occurred to me - why not make breadcrumb pasta for our lunches this week!? Popped into the grocers for cherry tomatoes and pasta - we'll see what I come up with.

I'll post photos of my sunday cc creations later today!


... wish me luck.

p.s the preston market rocks. cheap, multicultural, rushed and crowded atmosphere - sorta think it kicks Queen Vic's ass.
