It seems strange not cooking for a few days. The Fox is now more or less back to himself, eager to cook after his break. So yesterday we had his Brazilian pork (see his blog) - it was good though we both agreed we could have fancied a bit more chilli in it. Today he's doing his kedgeree. Then tomorrow we're off out to dinner with PD & Lin at Ricky's, our favourite Cantonese restaurant.
This latter meal is to make up for the meal we all missed at the end of January. With both PD & the Fox being so ill, we hadn't joined the others then. We decided on the date early in the week. It came as a bit of a surprise on Thursday when it dawned upon us that it was Valentine's Day on Monday. None of us had really been thinking of it as a romantic gesture. We'd hardly be going as a foursome if we had!
The Fox's attitude has always agreed with mine. It's a poor do if you have to wait for one day of the year to admit you love each other. We believe in celebrating our love every day & throughout the day. It's something special that should never be taken for granted.
However, that's not to say we're averse to the idea of taking advantage of a special Valentine offer at the supermarket for a box of chocs & a bottle of champagne for £14 for the two. And the latter we're happy to pop when we get back from the restaurant, using Valentine's Day as an excuse, rather than a reason, for so doing.
And maybe after my three days of rest, I'll feel as though I'm getting on top of things & have a bit more energy once more. Just in time for Cyprus.
