get well food

I’m at home, sick and sorry. 2 x cups Earl Grey tea and 2 x bowls of muesli with milk.

(Sleep, sleeping to the sound of passing trains carried by the cold southerly that rushes through the open doors and down the corridor. I woke up, still exhausted and feverish, my consciousness temporarily stuck in a state of hypnopompic disassociation when hunger woke me up.)

I cooked! I cooked myself a meal in the house with no food! Using leftovers from a home-cooked meal prepared many, many moons ago. The asparagus would be 2 weeks old but it came up okay after I fried it with some olive oil. Wholemeal spaghetti; chilli olive oil, Parmesan cheese, roasted pine nuts, liberally seasoned with salt and pepper and a glass of Amberley Secret Lane Sauvignon Blanc 2008. Greek coffee and 2 x kourambiedes for dessert.

Now a glass of the Rosabrook Shiraz again to warm my internal organs and maybe enough to warm my feet.
