Last night’s vegetarian food-fest (prepared, cooked, eaten – half of it anyway – and washed-up afterwards by me, lest there be any misunderstandings) was a little overplanned.<\/p>\n

Overplanned to the point that I couldn’t get the final constituent on my plate.<\/p>\n

I should add that we rarely use ‘proper’ plates, instead we use kind of shallow, flatish, wideish breakfast bowl things. They look like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, the thing is with eating from bowls like this instead of proper plates, is that they fill up with food quickly.<\/p>\n

This is a win because it means we eat less. It can also be a loss though, because last night it meant I couldn’t add the baked beans to my ‘plate’.<\/p>\n

But only to my ‘plate’ because Soph isn’t a fan of the ‘Shepherd’s Pie, mange tout, broccoli, baked potato, gravy *and* baked beans’ treatment.<\/p>\n

Which is weird, obv, because who wouldn’t want a topping of baked beans on a combo like that?<\/p>\n

So I left the baked beans in the sospan<\/em> (look, it’s a Welsh word and I say it the Welsh way. Humour me) and we cracked on with our food-and-Buffy fest.<\/p>\n

Having tottered downstairs at 1.30am, just half an hour ago, I put the kettle on and looked at the poor, sad, dejected and lonely-looking baked beans.<\/p>\n

Then my eyes fell upon one of the familiar, pink-coloured tubes that often sits nearby.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you about a food-match made in Heaven, my friend.<\/p>\n

Cold baked beans, scooped out of the sospan<\/em> by, and devoured with, Prawn Cocktail-flavoured Pringles.<\/p>\n

And washed down with a mug of hot tea.<\/p>\n

So it might be 2am and I might be grumpily awake but I am, nevertheless, feeling very satisfied, in a foodie kind of way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
