...some Spam after midnight! Today we shall be marvelling at the comforting qualities of the naughty but nice Spam Fritters we ate last night as well looking forward to seeing Mamma Mia! later on this week.
On a comfort food note, we were pleased to hear about your own comfort faves and also interested to see that no one has specified a sweet treat as their perfect nurturing nosh. It seems chocolate addicts are not as common as we thought.
Anyway, back to the spam fritters. For those of you that may remember these from your childhood school dinners, Spam Fritters consist of a slice of spam, coated in a batter and deep fried. Healthy? No. Tasty? You betcha. Top your fritter with a little balsamic vinegar and ketchup (not Heinz) and consume. A sort of mix of retro chav and foodie finesse.
On the Abba note, do you like what we cooked up for the title of this post? What others can you think of?
Chicken pizza
Voulez-vent
I have ice cream

If you want the rainbow...
Just look outside the window. There is a glorious one over South London right now.
But as Dolly says "if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain". Keep this in mind on Saturday if you're going to Gay Pride. It's a way of remembering those people that put up with a hell of a lot of rain, fighting for equality, so that we, our supporters, family and friends can march with dignity and pride and enjoy a day filled with gay celebration!
But tonight I have to admit that I am feeling a little moody. Is it the rain or the fact that Beth is working late? Who knows? But to break this spell I am going to have a lovely large glass of red wine and make a mood lifting moussaka. The recipe comes from Falling Cloudberries: A World of Family Recipes by Tessa Kiros, which is quite simply my favourite cookbook in the world.
I can then imagine that I am sitting on a tranquil Greek island watching the sun go down whilst I gently sip my wine, which reminds me, the film of Mamma Mia opens next week and I must book tickets. As well as Dolly, I am also a total fool for Abba. How camp and predictable!
