I decided against sushi. Couldn't get any mirin or picked ginger online and didn't want to go to the shops. Had a couple of beers last night and decided to go with kitsch canapes instead; egg mayonnaise, crudites, crostini, baked new potatoes with sour cream and smoked salmon, garlic prawns and stuffed mushrooms. I don't know why 'life's too short to stuff a mushroom' - it takes seconds. Life is, however, too short to skin roast peppers. Also invented a canape, I think. Sunday roast on a stick - chicken breast, sausage and stuffing (Paxo - I may love cooking but Paxo rocks)
