I don't mind house guests, really I don't, but for the last couple of weeks I seem to have been running a small boarding house!
We have the permanent residents; me, the TB, the AB (who is becoming markedly less Angelic as teenagedom approaches but that's a different post) and the French exchange student.
Additionally in the last 7 days we have had at various times, my best mate and her daughter (all the way from the Philippines ), my sister, her husband and her son (all the way from the West Midlands) and the FES's boyfriend. And it has been lovely to see everyone - shame about the monsoon weather that the brought with them. But goodness it's hard work for the catering staff - i.e me. I have done the full reportoire of roasts, lasagne, chinese noodle things and now I am truly running out of ideas. I suspect a few evenings with the cookbook collection are in order.
And whilst we are on culinary matters, having given up almost everything my chilli consumption has gone through the roof - I've moved on from chilli sauce ( bit girlie with all that sugar) and on to Capstan Full Strength Sri-Lankan chilli oil. It's so good it should probably be illegal!

Lippy something along the paella lines always goes down well , or a good mousaka instead of the lasagne or kebabs and rice and salad and a few warmed pitta and dips on the side.
Are you still being pure ?
I admit I ate a yorkshire pudding at lunch - but otherwise, yes being pure and 10lbs to the good thanks for asking!
Can't have the pitta bread though - damn I miss taramasalata.
