Evening sun

Another lovely day, which was good for tea breaks in the garden between bouts of work. The weather made the menagerie very happy indeed. Omar was super-charged.

The evening walk took me to the big Sainsbury's, which I find quite exciting to visit. Locally, the three small supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Co-op) and the one larger one (Iceland) are all next to each other, but all sell the same things. These items are usually not what is needed for a particular recipe. I knew I'd have no hope for buying paneer, so the big Sainsbury's it had to be. Streatham Common was gloriously green and it provided a verdant backdrop to a multitude of activities - I spied pilates, jogging, boxing, cycling, dog-walking, kite-flying, picnics...

The big Sainsbury's did indeed have paneer, although it took a while to find it because I was so mesmerised by the variety of fruit and veg that I couldn't not look at absolutely everything.

The paneer and potato curry (Jamie Oliver) wasn't that delicious - too dry for me. I liked the buttery, cardamom rice, though.

I watched a very funny, quirky film: Stranger Than Fiction. I highly recommend it.
