Wednesday Jo at Home

On Wednesday, sob sob, I was abandoned at home while Joe lived it up in town.  When I say lived it up, what I mean is he and Hunter Pig (his other wife) went for dinner and cocktails like a couple of girls.

I stayed at home and put stamps on our wedding invites - rock on!  To cheer myself up I indulged in roasted vegetables with Mexican spices and a poached egg.  Woop woop!  For a more exciting blog post, perhaps see Joe's simultaneous post about his dinner - much more fun!

Roasted veg and an oeuf - an action shot!

Monday - Autumn Foods & Figs for Pudding - and a Birthday!

It's Joe's sister Sally's birthday today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALLY!!!!!!

Joe also dragged me out for a run after getting home from work.  It poured with rain and was really dark (although Joe was sporting a rather fetching head torch!)

I got through it thinking of dinner - roasted root veg and chorizo - cooking in the oven.  Yum.  And topped with a poached egg for me and a fried egg for Joe.  Although it did start Joe's query on twitter - what is the right way to pronounce chorizo?!

Dessert - baked figs with honey, yogurt and shortbread crumbs
