One of my most steadfast soulmates called and asked me to join him at Heston Blumental's "Dinner" at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
"No thank-you."
It's been an incredibly crappy month for me, not that he knew, so he saw my refusal to attend as a foodie cri de coeur.
Three hours later he was buzzing my door laden with hemp sacks of goodies.
Succour Punch
1 part Metaxa 12 star brandy
2 parts freshly squeezed orange juice
Top up with dry ginger ale
Shed loads of chipped ice
He also brought the ingredients for my death row meal - french trimmed lamb chops, Jersey Royal potatoes, frozen petit pois, dill and Normandy butter.
Perfect.
I love the care in my community.
Love food x
