Tonight is my first night at home, completely alone, for the whole evening, in as long as I can remember.
In the lead up to the wedding, I had convinced myself that a full work schedule and an exhibition at The View Tube were completely manageable, so I hardly ever spent an evening at home, let alone, alone.
Tonight came unplanned and unexpected, and after a quiet supper of aubergine and spinach pasta, came the craving for something sweet. There isn't much in the house by way of 'bad foods', the whole sugary storepile having been chucked out in the lead up to Get In The Dress Day. I rummaged and rummaged and came across this:
We have a box of milk chocolate hagelslag from the Husband's parents. Armed with my sugary topping, I then proceeded to make a classic Dutch breakfast treat. Unfortunately I've misplaced my camera cable, so this image will have to suffice:
The instructions for such a treat are fairly straightforward, but for the uninitiated, it is as follows:
1. Locate hagelslag, a refined carbohydrate base (in my case, Carr's Water Biscuits), and an adhesive (chocolate spread, also from Husband's parents).
2. Assemble as above.
The result is surprisingly moreish, but also terrible. Months of denying myself refined sugars have left me overly sensitive to processed sweets, and it had the mouthfeel of sugar and palm oil, and only whispers of chocolate.
. . . but it did hit the spot.
Next night I have off and alone, it might be more productive to do a bit of drawing.
