Nigella, what a wonder! She can juggle two kids, a husband and a last minute dinner party for 30 and make it look simple. I strive to be more goddess like, although I significantly lack in both budget and bust compared to Ms Lawson.
I do however try to cook for my family everyday as its much cheaper and more convinient than ready meal,s especially as we now live some way from the nearest shop. Cooking for wee ones seems to be a bit of a rollercoaster as you need to balance prep time against cost and "will they actually eat that". Needless to say there are always fishfingers in the freezer and if all fails eggy bread is always a winner!
This morning I wake from a horrid night of teething baby. Normally that would mean a lie in but as a stag widow for the weekend and with an active 3 yr old, I plod on. At this point Nigella would be in some cashmere or velvet wrap and not mis matched Quantas airline pjs. I am ignoring this fact and have managed to bake a ploddy pie for lunch based on (with lazy adaptations) Nigella's "pizza rustica alla Inglese".
