That meant I had time to do some slightly more interesting cooking.
First up: clams. So much prettier than mussels and so much easier to prep (no scrapping off nasty beards and barnacles).
I steamed them with a combination of chilli, garlic and coconut milk and served them with noodles.
We'll gloss over the fact that I nearly gave Dan a heart attack because the (one) chilli was so hot. I'll be cooking these again next time I see them in the fishmonger. I'll try not to make my boyfriend cry next time (wuss!).
Then since I was a lady with far too much time on my hands this weekend, I made jam. Pear jam with dark chocolate sprinkles. Oh yes. I am a culinary genius. It was gorgeous!
Actually, I am not a culinary genius at all... this lady is.
I'm inspired to have more lazy weekends, and each one will start with fancy french bread and home made jams for breakfast.
When's the weekend? Is it here yet?
