Let’s do this together Yours, Siobhan

Eat. Eateat. Sleep. Sleepsleep. Cook. Cook.cook Repeat. Repeat.repeat Did I mention I’mi’m I’m eatingeating eating my way through this lockdown? Not like I did back k in March when I put the eat into repeat and had to o spend three months in the gym afterwards just to o squeeze back into my pre-lockdown big pants.

You know when they say the first weight loss is just water? Yes, through your eyes – I literally wept the first stone off on the rowing machine.

So while the gym is closed this time, I’ve decided to take up extreme curry cooking as my new hobby. Over the next three or more weeks, I’ll l be creating the most complicated and mouth-watering dishes to fill my spare time.

Basically I’m going to be the supermodel of spices – I won’t even climb out of bed for a recipe that has less than 10 ingredients, and that’s just to make the marinade.

It’s a risky strategy, but I’m hoping after all the tempering, grinding and simmering, I’ll be too exhausted for eating.

I’ll also be using every utensil, pot, pan and electric gadget in the house, many of which have never even been taken out of their boxes. Cost per use of the draining sieve pot attachment thingy being precisely £29.99 so far this year.
