Cooking, Eating and Shopping

This Spanish rice dish a very easy way to produce dinner with limited washing up
This (allegedly low fat) chocolate tart is a tad fiddly and best eaten after a night in the fridge but really worth it
This is Nigella cake one of my favourites and I used a lemon this time in with the clementines - great success.
This frittata is great for breakfast and if you don't eat it all, is just as nice later on.
Eating
After my visit to Brown's a few weeks ago I filled in the feed back form on-line saying the music was too loud. I don't think anyone ever does fill these in because I got a phone call and ended up with a £40.00 voucher for a return visit any time I choose.
Shopping
For on line shopping I tend to bounce between Asda (minimum shop £35.00) and Waitrose (minimum shop £50.00). Waitrose's essentials range is quite good and I love their range of other products including their Cook's Ingredients range. The other week a delivery turned up 50 minutes late due to some miscommunication on their part. A £10.00 voucher was emailed about ten hours after me sending a polite email.
I am currently targetting Asda who seem to think that when I order two lots of trout and tick the please substitute box, it really means I don't want any. They have done this on three previous occasions. I suspect laziness in the pickers as the shop mine comes from is a massive 24 hour Asda so I think that somewhere they'd have trout. I also use the Asda price guarantee website after each shop and initially I was getting vouchers for a few pounds where Asda were not 10% cheaper than the main rivals. Last week's shop elicited a voucher of 3p. I am loosing my love of Asda. But no force on earth will make me go to Tesco.
