Finally got the camera on the go so this evening we have recipe with photos. Didn't finish until late again this evening so decided to continue in the same vain as last week and opted for a quick yet tasty and just filling enough for a 9pm late dinner munch - more getting on for supper at that time of night really. A quick stop at morissons on the way home (which was lovely and quiet with one lone bag of watercress in the salad aisle) for the ingredients and got cooking. Half and hour later and we were nibbling away on this...
