I am very coherent upon waking. Not.

How my day started:

Mum, coming into my bedroom: Are you awake yet?
Me: Blegh.
Mum: Well, I'm going to the shops to get milk. Do we need anything for dinner?
Me: Uhm, haven't thought about dinner yet.
Mum: I feel like a bit of grilled steak, how about that?
Me: Eughh. Okay, we can have the squash with it.

Then I realised it was 3p.m. and I should probably get up (my sleep cycle is weird.)

I don't usually cook meals with meat as the centrepiece - I prefer it as an accent - but Mum said she'd been craving some red meat so okay! She bought a couple of potatoes as well, so I roasted those, some broccoli and the rest of the pattypan squash with garlic and fresh herbs. Mum grilled the steak with some bacon, filet mignon-style, and for a meat-and-three-veg meal, it was very good!

I can't remember the last time we had a meal that could be described as meat-and-three-veg. The lump of meat on my plate looked kind of alarming and bloody at first.

I had something else to talk about but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

I plan to bake biscuits tonight in my ongoing quest for the perfect chocolate chip biscuit (cookie!) None of the recipes I've tried have been quite right.
