Well, what a week.  The UK officially broke down, though whilst the snow started off in the south it didn’t allow me to get away with a snow day.  Sometimes being based in Birmingham has its downsides, I had to get in the car and drive to see some clients.  Let’s just say that the return trip was a bit hairy, what with driving in a blizzard on non-gritted roads!

Back at home, due to not having any food around I was a bit of of sync with my usual routine.  Nothing too amazing this week, though my friend did manage to make a good dinner on Saturday.  He was happy with 7/10, unfortunately like many people he had an issue with a chocolate mousse not setting!

Monday: Appalling room service – Greasy Pizza with Salami
Tuesday: Onion Risotto, Squid & Belly Pork, Coffee & Petit Fours at Anthony’s
Wednesday:  Chili Con Carne (salvaged from the depths of my Freezer).  Also baked some tasty flourless chocolate brownies [I have a slight craving for chocolate on a weekly basis]
Thursday: Toad in the Hole, with yorkshire sausages and a few strips of beef.
Friday:  Leftover toad 
Saturday: [Dinner at a friends: @RedWineBoy]
Sunday: A misty haze, Beef Pie.
