desperanceI made pepperonata - red & yellow peppers, onions, garlic, one of last year's chillies, all softened together with tomatoes and good olive oil - which would have been the basis of a piperade if I'd stirred some eggs into it, but I scrambled the eggs separately with caramelised apple, because I had some really good black pudding from Richard Woodall to fry up in butter and serve with, and there is little nicer than black pudding and apple on the same plate. Except when there's egg there too, obviously, and a bit of pepperonata.
Sometimes it's good to be me.
Those of you who know me, though, will know that when I start writing a lot about cooking - and/or cats - it's because one of two things is happening; either the work is not going well, in which case I'm looking for displacement and hoping for approval both at once, or else the work is going well, in which case I'm barely leaving the house and not doing anything else worth writing about. Frankly, the full-on writing life can be very dull to describe; it's good to have garnish, whether that's food or felines.
