Watching: Rivals on Disney. My friend recommended it – I was certain I’d hate it – I absolutely LOVE it. Why? Absolute romp, the eighties outfits, Katherine Parkinson. Tip: Not in front of the children.
Watched: Sweet Bobby on Netflix. Why? Beyond belief catfishing story. Tip: Popcorn.
Listening: The Kill List Podcast. Why? Tech journalist on the dark net discovers a secret kill list. He tries to warn everyone on it. Tip: Wine.
Cooking: Melanzane Parmigiana HERE. Made this for guests last Friday – absolute people pleaser. I left out the twiddly bits in the recipe and it was none the worse for it. Tip 1: Garlic bread. Tip 2: Make your own tomato sauce – eight cans of chopped tomatoes left on the stove top for hours at a very low temperature (like, 3) until it’s halved in quantity. Stir frequently. You won’t look back.
Buying: Yes, I started shopping for Christmas. I found these gorgeous decorated Olive Oil bottles from Frantoio Muraglia at Sous Chef HERE. My sisters-in-law will get one each. Tip: Perfect unisex gift.
Lusting After: Mango’s Shearling Coat. This looks as cosy as it does hippy – wear with big, round sunglasses, flared jeans and a Heat Tech Polo – vibing the 70’s wasn’t even this easy in the actual seventies. It’s HERE. Tip: Ali McGraw style beanie hat.
