A confession...

It's 9.38 am. I am up. I am still in my jammies but am up. Radio 2 is blaring (I know, I love the ol' Ken Bruce). And I have a fully set dinner table amidst a messy house.

I should explain. I have friends coming for dinner. Topknot and the crazy one. Topknot is an amazing host. I've had friends all my life, I've been lucky that way...but 'friends for dinner' hadn't really happened yet. Friends for drinks. Friends for takeaway. But never the big one. I'm a good cook 20% of the time or if veggie burgers are involved, but for some reason have decided to commit to series 2 episode 8 of Jamie's 30 minute meals. What?! I don't even have the ingredients yet!! But the table is set...
