Feeling a tad blah today, don't know why... the never-ending grey sky? Being alone when I'd like some company?
So I put Jamie Woon in the CD player (poor boy!!) and made my favourite lunch - lightly grilled salmon steak on a bed of fresh salad with a dash of Hellman's extra-light mayo with lemon...
Having polished that off, I thought,'What I would really like right now is a hot chocolate...'.
In the pantry I always have my favourite 70% chocolate grated for such an occasion... don't you just love the Weck jar? It was full of naughty truffles for Christmas from my most favourite ever online shop.
And being a generally health-conscious girl, I used low-fat milk and naughty-but-nice low-fat squirty cream...
Of course it's not as full-on decadent as real clotted cream, but it's a just-fine substitute :)
And boy, did it taste g-o-o-d!!!!
And I have to say, having spent some virtual time with my virtual friends, I feel a lot less blah, so thank you :)
Maybe we should share lunch more often....

This looks delicious and bet you can feel that omega 3 or whatever it is coursing through your veins now. Shame I've just had cheese on oatcakes :( But I did have not one, but TWO frothy coffees this morning (so glad we bought The Daughter a coffee machine ...).

Why yes, I would LOVE to join. Since I missed lunch, how about dinner?!? :)
I'm so glad we could be of service to you today! You really had me with the lunch until you added the Helman's - can not abide mayonnaise and I'm not even sure why. Just the jar can make me gag which tells me it must be some childhood trauma. But the chocolate, mmmmmmm. I almost never say no to that!
P.S. I love seeing your virtual clock and noticing what time it is in England!
Ohh hot choc how yummy! It should seem odd to have a lovely warming hot choc in May, but it's been soo cold - I've even had to light the fire a couple of times, so I could quite easily have joined you there :)
Hope you had a lovely lunch, catch up soon xxxx
would love to join you with the hot chocolate - looks wonderful. Like the photos to - make the whole thing a real occassion. Maybe you were a mistress of the tea-ceremony in a previous life!
