Empty Larder, Empty Table...blame the PhD

Apologies for the excessively boring blog of late, and especially for the lack of food news. These hungry souls have been fasting instead of feasting, especially now that I am trying to finish writing up in the next few months while job searching at the same time. To prove to you that this is a reality and not just an excuse, let me give you the rundown of my meals so far today:

breakfast: bran flakes
lunch: bran flakes and strawberry yoghurt
snack: espresso macchiato and a granola bar

Also, I did have bran flakes for dinner (and Pancho had porridge) a couple of nights ago. So things are looking pretty sad. Good news: fish planned for dinner, thus getting me out of the Kellogg's food group.

On the up side, Pancho has established his foodie creds by cooking more or less by himself (avec a sous chef) Bible study dinner for 10--including a veggie option--that garnered almost universal praise. (Personally, I thought the veggie sauce had a bit of fennel seed overdose, but that was, apparently, just me. It is certainly the case, however, that his penne was perfectly al dente, even a few days later.)
