No cooking day

Gemma's P, you did make me laugh saying you thought Marmite sounded like an animal!  Sorry, I assumed everyone in the world had heard of it.  Have you heard of Vegemite, or Bovril?  Similar things.  Marmite is a brown sticky spread for toast or sandwiches, very salty and deeply savoury, it's yeast extract, a by-product of beer making.  You either love it or hate it (that's the slogan they use!) - I love it, having been brought up on it, husband hates it.  Well, actually, to tell the truth I prefer the Aussie version, Vegemite, nowadays (don't throw stones at me for betraying my country!! haha).  The texture of Marmite has changed in recent years, it seems to be softer and runnier than it used to be, whereas Vegemite has a firmer texture which I like and a slightly different taste.  Bovril is beef extract, in case you didn't know, it's generally used more for gravy or as a hot drink.  I hate that, whereas husband really likes Bovril!!  Go figure!

Something light for lunch today....husband will probably have the last of the roast beef in a sandwich, I might just have a slice of the banana and cinnamon cake I made yesterday, with a coffee.

No cooking....we're going out for dinner, a 4-course meal for Valentine's Day, a very rare event!
