Cooking With Lady A

Let me introduce our guest writer, Lady A, chief on all things domestic, empathetic and

classy. The domestic goddess with no faith in the domestic but is trying her hardest.

Raised in the prisons and paradises of the 50's way of thought that a well to-do family

must have everything done for them.

Today Lady A tries to cook herself a light lunch snack while her husband is away.

Hello there dear readers

to the left is my vain attempt at making

the recipe of the day

"eggybread"

inspired by christmas excess of watching

endless streams of bbc comedy

after returning from the tropics

I was suprised to come across

a recipe I remembered from my childhood

on a program called gavin and stacey

so in the dull days before

new years eve

may i recommend you start adding to your already

fat saturated body Xmas-Xterminated soul with a little Lady A comfort food.

for a single hungover or heartbroken boy or girl

two slices of bread

two eggs

whisk them eggs well

Get a good wide deep pan and heat

pour olive oil in or let butter melt

lay the two slices of bread on the pan

think a bit

then pour the egg mixture on top

look romantically, repeatedly out the window at the rain and think about what you

want to do tonight or if you should call an old friend

turn with bacon tongs (no fingers please your ragamuffins.. hot pan!)

then make sure it looks cooked.

get a brightly colored plate

winter is dark

you need to surround yourself with color

to remind yourself of florescence and summer

put some ketchup on it! KETCHUP!

then eat

This winter. When I am alone. I put on joni mitchells "clouds" album on vinyl.

listening side a from "Tin Angel" through to "Roses Blue"

will ease digestion and stop you from repeatedly checking your facebook status

and also make your heart feel like it is being sung to by a best friend for 15 minutes

until next time
