steak and kidney pie

chanced upon these furry folk on the moor today and was suddenly gripped with the biggest craving for steak and kidney pie. we've wednesday afternoons off and i spent mine shopping (sigh) and then going into a cleaning frenzy. have a house guest the next couple of days and needed the place to be "mum standard clean". most times, T and i are quite happy as long as there's no obvious dirt around but today i hoovered every inch of the carpet for the first time this month (oh come on, we're not so bad as to lapse beneath the monthly clean up) and then cleaned the kitchen before doing two loads of laundry. did the sheets too so she'll have a nice fresh set to sleep on. mundane, eh. but on the upside, i've cream tea to look forward to with a shanghainese friend tomorrow! nothing like dairy and refined sugar for a perk me up. i keep over-compensating for the pseudo-exertion during the wilderness weekend, subtitled "death by biscuit" as we were popping bourbons and custard creams like they were going out of fashion. and we carbo-loaded with heaps of pasta at night, further supplemented by posh nibbles from the co-op across the street. hmm. methinks these half-hearted attempts at health and fitness need to be better thought through.
