A eggs on it

Poached eggs on toast at Canteen. With a slightly gory-looking roasted tomato thing. Ideally, I'd like a runnier yolk than this though. Ah, that's better… I nicked the title of the post from this tasty zine.

Cheez pleez

A cheese and tomato toastie in the cafeteria in Gelli Aur.

Roll with it

Some chicken thighs in tomato sauce from Marks & Spencers, eaten while watching Nigella cook "an unusual slow-cooked melt in the mouth Asian Braised Shin of Beef topped with a crisp hot and sour shredded salad".

Hanging over

An apple juice, an Earl Grey tea and an absurdly floppy microwaved cheese and tomato croissant at "tea drinking place" – ahem – Yumchaa – AHEM – in Soho. A hangover cure of sorts. All on a nice tray with elephants on. Lovely and relaxing.

Pa rum pum pum pum

A chicken curry with half and half for my dining companion, a steak for me at the Ashburnham Hotel in Pembrey. Slightly disappointing this time, to be honest. And for the first hour and a half that we were there, they played Johnny Cash's version of Little Drummer Boy on a loop. When we pointed this out to them, they admitted it had probably been on all day and nobody else had noticed. So a bit of a weird evening. Still, at least the arrangement of the peas and fried tomato on my white plate looked a bit festive.

Pollo

Chicken and chorizo cooked in tomatoes and sherry. I put an orange on the top because Maria said that would make it more Spanish.
