food for thought

There are some days where I can't think of anything but food. Today was one of those days. Waking ravenous at 4pm I had two things on my mind: butternut squash soup and spanish omelette. The problem? No food in the house and no blender either. This was going to take a lot of willpower.

Flash forward five hours, visits paid to two supermarkets, a fruit and veg market, an alcohol shop and Tawhid al Noor (which sells everything), I was finally ready to start cooking.

Two hours later still and I was finally ready to start eating ;) Honey roasted butternut squash soup blended with cream and white wine & spanish omelette (approval given by four Spaniards). Happiness.
