It's apple crumble today...

...and we've already done the crumble bit on here last week!

I had a disastrous food evening last night! I was super hungry and a friend was visiting from Belgium. We decided to order from a new Japanese delivery place. I was v excited as Japanese food is tip-top delish with the added (and totally unusual) bonus of being surprisingly healthy.

Things started to look a little worrying when the delivery man got lost and we had to guide him in via mobile phone and a network of bonfires, semaphore signals and skywriting by a handily passing by-plane.

There was much excitement when the man pulled up outside on his bike - tummies were rumbling so loud the ducks on the dock outside were getting nervous! The guy jauntily pranced up the drive, pleased with himself for having survived his arduous journey and as he got to the front door the bag split and dinner ended up kerbside! HORROR! TRAUMA!

Matters were worsened when we spoke to the shop itself to ask what could be done (the delivery man was crimson with embarrassment and almost mute!). The shop stopped cooking at 9.30pm - it was 9.40pm! There were tears. There was gnashing of teeth, rending of clothing and pulling of hair (our own obviously - not each others as we were all united in sorrow!)

I ended up with a small cup of soup and a chocolate biscuit. Crashing disappointment.

Still, this morning dawned and I sprung into work and tore into a sausage and brown sauce (thank you HP!) sandwich. I was then a happy and contented human being.

Food is so important and it's amazing how we take it for granted. Just one evening of going without as much as I'm used to was a big deal. Imagine going days on end without....

Makes ya wonder. And thankful.
