So this morning I bought the ingredients for another fish dish (yes an easy one). But tonight I didn\u2019t cook it.\u00a0 I cooked (made) this instead. I had the ingredients and I bought a toastie machine this morning.\u00a0 I had not intended to, but I did.\u00a0 I went looking for a (the) liquidizer. I got distracted, and nearly bought, a three litre capacity food processor. But I didn\u2019t.\u00a0 I bought a four pound and sixty four pence toastie machine instead.\u00a0 It is not pretty but it will spend most of its life in the cupboard, so it can look ugly from there.\u00a0 Because I have to cook every meal in this book this means that I have to cook four toastie recipes.\u00a0 That means I need to buy a toastie machine.\u00a0 I did.\u00a0 It cost four pounds and sixty four pence.\u00a0 It\u2019s white. And its ugly.\u00a0 And its lives in the cupboard under the \u2026<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So tonight I feel tired, and more than a little off, and full.\u00a0 So a film, a glass of wine and a toastie sounds good. I have all the ingredients for this meal and it just so happens that I am now the proud owner of a toastie machine.\u00a0 An ugly one.<\/span><\/p>\n

This meal is for one. I cook it for two and it\u2019s in the tosatie machine in three minutes and some seconds.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s the very, very cheap machine I have bought or if it just takes this long but they where done by thirteen minutes and forty seconds.\u00a0 I managed to burn my self in the process and I had to wrestle with the machine to make it shut over the small (actually quite large) piles of avocado, tomato and feta (and oregano \u2013 not that it takes up any room).<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway.\u00a0 This was very nice and simple and it felt good.\u00a0 Good in the sense that it felt quite healthy.\u00a0 I have really quite a limited experience of toasties.\u00a0 But as I understand it they are usually drenched in butter on the outside and then grilled or fried.\u00a0 This is not.\u00a0 It still taste good, but it lacks that sensation of butter dripping down your fingers.\u00a0 Which is probably a good thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I have managed to cook two 15 minute meals.\u00a0 Nether of which have felt like a legitimate fifteen minute meal (being in the back section of the book).\u00a0 But they are in the book and they must be cooked.\u00a0 And I have.\u00a0 And they were good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
