a Cookery Corner too. Only nine days to go.
Monday 20 November
8st 12 (v.g.), cigarettes 0 (v. bad to smoke when performing culinary miracles),
alcohol units 3, calories 200 (effort of going to supermarket must have burnt off
more calories than purchased, let alone ate).
7 p.m. Just returned from hideous middle-class Singleton guilt experience at
supermarket, standing at checkout next to functional adults with children buying
beans, fish fingers, alphabetti spaghetti, etc., when had the following in my
trolley: 20 heads of garlic tin of goose fat bottle of Grand Marnier 8 tuna steaks
36 oranges 4 pints of double cream 4 vanilla beans at £1.39 each.
Have to start preparations tonight as working tomorrow.
8 p.m. Ugh, do not feel like cooking. Especially dealing with grotesque bag of
chicken carcasses: completely disgusting.
