so far have had a great weekend's eating - e roasted some lamb with papardelle on friday night, and i made some duck with parsnips and tardivo yesterday. i also attempted some associative, free form biscuits to accompanythe latter stages of notting hill. they were surprisingly ok given at the outset i didn't know if i was actually going to have an oven and was wondering if one could grill them. for mothers day simon and i are taking the folks to kastoori in tooting, which will doubtless be a treat.
