So here's a post not about restaurants again!
I spent almost the whole weekend at home, with only a few trips to pick friends up from train stations and visit the supermarket.
On Saturday my boyfriend, best friend and I had a whole day of cooking!
It all started with me waking up and having this massive urge to make pancakes. Which I did. And as Rici and I munched on them with honey and peanut butter, he said he had wanted to make potato pancakes but as I had been up earlier I had announced my pancake desires before his.
So I proposed he do them for lunch instead!
So we invited my best friend David over and in that process, Rici and I also decided that he was going to do most of dinner as well and that maybe I would bake something. So a whole day in the kitchen! How fabulous!

So off to the supermarket we went to get potatoes and...ice-cream. Of course.

Unfortunatley I don't have a recipe really for the potato pancakes, Rici just has a general idea of how much stuff to put in, in general. Although if it helps we did have 1 kilo of potatoes we grated with a few eggs, a little flour, salt and pepper.

In the mean time, I decided to go try make a cocktail I had from Antonio's...the frozen Mojito. It came out delicious. The trick? A LOT of mint leaves in the blender.
So after we ate out easily 10 potato pancakes...(can you imagine..? 1 kilo of potatoes between the three of us...) It was onto making macaroons! I took the recipe out of Marie Clare 'Flavours'.

No macaroons for Blackie-poo....
After a spot of peppermint tea with our macaroons, we decided to watch Pulp Fiction to take a break from cooking, but then very promptly returned to the kitchen after to make dinner!

A spot of chicken, pesto lamb, peas and fried potatoes....including my brother, we polished it all of it off!
All in all, a very good day of cooking! It encourages me to cook more, which I never really did before, so hopefully this will keep up!
