Professor of Physics, fires X-rays at things, apparently Associate Pro Vice Chancellor for Research for Science and Engineering at *a university*. Also sings a bit, makes stuff, and is inexplicably attractive to cats that aren’t mine.
We went out for dinner last night and had Sri Lankan curry - it’s made me want to try something new rather than sticking to Indian so this weekend I’ve suggested we try a recipe I have from Myanmar for a local version of a biryani.

When I’m stressed at work I don’t like to come in and sit straight down as I’ll dwell on things, so I’d rather be productive. Anyway, apropos of nothing, I made a banana and coconut loaf this evening.

Today’s rice dish took us to Korea and my attempt at a bibimbap. Also made bulgogi, and had a go at mayak “drug” eggs and I can very much see where they get the name from, I’ll be taking those for lunch tomorrow with some rice!

Had a fantastic vegan curry cookery lesson today with Tiffins in Bristol and made a vegetable curry, a potato and spinach curry, incredible daal, and the fluffiest rice ever!

This? Oh this is just a cat that was furious with me for working from home today so sat on the windowsill by my desk with her front legs jammed behind the radiator, while she metronomically kicked the blinds with her back feet, maintaining hard eye contact throughout.

South Indian lemon rice with roasted peanuts and curry leaves, chicken pathia, and Muttar paneer. My quest to try new rice dishes continues and this is the best thing I think I’ve ever cooked.

Home made blueberry ice cream - trying a new recipe and I’m very happy with it, next time I’d add a tad less vanilla and a little bit of honey.

My quest to try a new rice dish every week started this week with a pilau. Served with a chicken tikka and a chana saag, I’m happy with how it turned out!

Bit of a cooking day today. Used up the cheese board leftovers and Xmas smoked bacon to make a luxurious mac and cheese and busked a new chana saag recipe to have with my new years quest - a new rice dish every week. Tomorrow we’re trying a proper pilau.

On reflection, it was a mistake to let her have three catnip toys at once.

After two back to back 16 hour days at work followed by singing in a concert, it’s nice to come home and be completely ignored by a cat.
