Adrian and Nigella
My poor husband (
london1952) is a very busy man these days with his new job. So apologies if he hasn't posted or indeed replied and/or friend-ed any of you back.
This morning he had to be at work by 7 am to wait for a delivery of wallpaper (it arrived closer to 10 am, naturally) and he's going work 9 days on the trot... all of this because of an event at the Chelsea Harbour Design Centre that runs from Sunday till Wednesday: all the showrooms are getting all spruced up, trying to lure the interior designers in.
It appears that Princess Michael of Kent (one of the least popular royals, aka as "Princess Pushy") will also be at the Centre next week as she has an interior designer company... Adrian and I agreed that she shouldn't bother as she''ll be outranked by throngs of queens!

Our TV love affair with Nigella continues. Her "Nigella Express" is quite a joy to watch, and she has some great recipes too (sadly, everything is full fat!! In these health conscious and government-wants-you-thin days, you wouldn't get many TV chefs to propose Croissant bread and butter pudding made with full-fat croissants, double cream, full-fat milk and caramel for supper).
Last night I tried one of her slimmer dishes: Calabrian lamb cutlets and it was divine. The combination of chilli flakes, lemon, oregano and garlic was simply delicious.
Adrian was slightly disappointed I didn't do her Amaretto Syllabub but it required thick double-cream.
Maybe I should get some cream on the way home and make it tonight for him? (before heading to the residents' association committee meeting)
