What I Love Today - The Laden Larder

dinner2

Hurrah, today is payday!!! Rather than go out and booze till there is no tomorrow (I'm still shaking from Sunday's exploits) or purchase yet more kitchen utensils, I decided to treat myself to the best hummous in the world, or at least that I can buy in a shop. Try as I may I cannot make hummous as good as the San Amvrosia lot can, so I went a little mad and bought avocado hummous too. You see, I am wild after all. I also purchased some oven-roasted cherry tomatoes and oh my god these were so good!! I purchased all three from Whole Foods but I need to find out if there is a deli that stocks them near Streatham Hill as I'm all for supporting the local community in my ripe old age. My sister is coming over this week and what with her being as much of a glutton as I, I have a list as long as my arm of all the local shops and delis I want to check out. Liv if you are reading this, do not fear, I'm not expecting to view all of these this week, but whatever goods I do come across I will most surely pass your way after my little wander.

Anyway, the resulting dinner had me quaking in my boots with glee. It was one of those moments where I thought 'to hell with this, why should I stop? Why can't I just get fat?! Is that so very very wrong!!!'. I always ruin those moments of excitement by saying out loud over and over how exciting it is and how excited I am and how perfect what I'm eating is. I should just absorb myself in the moment and bloody eat it. Anyway, I did and it was the best. Everyone may be skint and jobless, but we all need a little treat every now and then.

Resulting meal:

San Amvrosia avocado hummous

San Amvrosia plain hummous

Rocket and spinach salad

Radish from Clapham market

Cheese (Yep, I have no idea what cheese I bought, but it tastes damn good and is also from Clapham market)

Crusty amazing bread from Wholefoods

I am reading and I am salivating at that photo, despite the fact I've just troughed throw a big dish of aubergine parmigiana (yum yum) - I thought you'd robbed it from a magazine it looks so good!

Save me some of those tomatoes. xx

Seriously it was the most exciting thing. Yeah I have a big pot of them, perfect to have in the fridge and Zac friendly as there is no risk of him munching them on me!! I have some chard that I need to use up and was thinking I could make an amazing tart with it and some of the tomatoes and whatever bits of cheese I have. Hmmmm, is quarter to ten to late to start baking?!
