Anniversary

Today is our first wedding anniversary. Yey!

Yesterday we made the heart-shaped chocolate cake and ate some (nom!). James took a photo before we ate it though so I will try to obtain that for your viewage.

This morning I have made the marinade for the pork and it is now infusing! I started to read the recipe and realised that I was supposed to marinade overnight. Never mind! We will have to go out later to buy some string to wrap the roll of pork in. I realised that we only have “multi-purpose twine” which looks a bit plasticy. Don’t want to experience a Bridget Jones style garden twine food disaster!

In a bit I intend to make some (hopefully) delicious Canadian-style pancakes for James to remind him of our wonderful honeymoon in Toronto where we feasted on pancakes at brunch several times. Then for dinner later we will have the pork with some potatoes and cauli. The potatoes are organic but the cauli isn’t, however it was supporting local business because i bought it from the green-grocers rather than Tesco. The man in the wine shop helped me select a bottle of wine suitable for drinkage with pork dishes to go with the meal.

Sadly the weather is a bit pants today but i’m sure we’ll still be able to go out and have some fun around the place this afternoon. Excellent!
