"If you want a quick and easy recipe for tonight then let me know" said The Consort as she recognised that all this creativity is taking its toll on me. "Just take some frozen fish, cover with tin of tomatoes, sprinkle on some mixed herbs and bake for about 30m. Add cheese and breadcrumbs just before serving then bake for another 5m and that's it !" Never one to shirk an easy way out I decided that would be the meal for the evening and all went according to plan. Meal was assembled and into oven and I retired to watch the final few minutes of "Pointless" followed by "Eggheads" on BBC2.
The Consort arrived home just as the Cheese and Breadcrumbs were being applied and asked what we were having with it. In my euphoria of having an easy night of cooking I hadn't even considered any vegetables etc so last minute panic to quickly do some leeks and toast some Pitta bread.
