Sunday news

I feel rough. To put it simply. I suppose it's a cold or the like but my whole body aches and I'm coughing so much I keep peeing a little. I know, I know, just totally took the glam out of Eve for you. Too bad. Even perfect people like me get sick and pee themselves a little.

Husband has agree to the rota of a hot bath and massage for me once son is sound asleep. I can't wait.

I'm about to do some serious batch cooking, pasta sauce for the next couple of weeks, mashed potatoes (I have a bag full of potatoes about to go off and I can't stand to waste them. So mash it is! It freezes well) and then I'm making For The Love of Cooking's Asian Chicken and Fried Rice for dinner. I've been meaning to make this for a while and today seem as good a day as any.

Did I mention as well I have an order for the Carrot Cake I made last week? One of my work collegues asked for a cake for this Tuesday. I make the cake, she gives me a bottle of wine. Sounds like a deal to me! It's also a super way to have a reason to practice my baking. I'm hoping she'll continue to put in requests and I can use her as a genuine pig while I experiment more.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a kitchen to attend too.
