Can't think of what else it could be called. It has a biscuit base like a cheesecake, but it's clearly not a cheesecake. Banoffee dessert?

I found a jar of apricot jam in the back of the fridge to put on my toast and sat in my garden I'm instantly transported back to eating breakfast on a garden terrace in the Loire Valley. Food is great for that.

I like rustling up a Sunday lunch from not a lot of stuff left in the house (well, comparatively. As previously discussed we could always last at least another month from the contents of the cupboards and the freezer). Today I made roasted fennel with black olives, garlic, lemon juice and herbs, roast potatoes, sweet potato wedges, boiled carrots, Linda McCartney rosemary and red onion sausages, gravy, Yorkshire puddings for the kids, and a side salad of shredded lettuce, red cabbage and carrots (yes, double carrots again).

What a faff it is trying to peel knobbly ginger so that you actually get some ginger to use and not have it left behind on the skin. Or am I doing it wrong, or can ginger peel be consumed (in the same way as TV cooks don't bother to peel garlic)? Calling Balderdasha and other experts...

Son has been a bit picky with food recently and I had a sudden panic that I was feeding the kids too much "healthy" food and not enough actual calories. So, I made them a massive fuck off Victoria sponge cake. As it would clearly not be a good idea for me to eat this I have treated myself to a punnet of blueberries and a punnet of cherries instead.

Son's initial verdict was that this is the best cake recipe ever. But then he remembered himself and qualified that, in fact, teta (his grandmother) makes better cakes. This is largely because teta melts down chocolate oranges to make icing.

I made a birthday cake. It contains enough chocolate to send about 100 children into hyperactivity mode. It's two slices of Victoria sponge, with Nutella in-between, covered in melted milk chocolate icing, smarties, choco Leibniz biscuits and malted milk biscuits (the biscuits were an afterthought to cover up the messy sides).
