it’s wednesday, and this is when i start plotting away for the weekend ahead with all the things i’d like to do and food i want to make and eat. it is one of the ways i can survive the rest of the week. that, and remembering the meals of weekend past::

breakfast on saturday were a batch of popovers, hafi jam, coffee and fresh oj. oh, what joy those popovers are with their crunchy, fluffy buttery goodness. when there isn’t any bread in the house and when the boy is due home any moment; making popovers is a really good solution, because it only involves mixing all the key ingredients and cranking up the oven to get the butter bubbling nice and hot.

if you make them in a friand pan they won’t pop over like they should, but that need not stop you. they are still cloudy poufs, perfect with any kind of berry jam.

lunch on sunday was after grocery shopping and before a long afternoon walk at the newish bagelry which opened up in rozelle. there were two of us; one a bagel fan the other not, but we still ordered two bagelwiches {ny rueben and blt} to go but ended up seated at the mirror tables eating soft delicious bagels with a good coffee.

the long walk meant we wanted food later on in the night, even after consuming the equivalent of five slices of bread at lunch. it had to be simple and easy so rice in the cooker, lentils in the pot and a short-cut yoghurt salad with early spring tomatoes.

now to start plotting this weekend …
