Living on a student budget doesn’t mean you actually have to
eat like one. Recently, all of the newspapers and particularly the radio
(that’s right Radio 4, I’m listening) are obsessed with Jack Monroe. Obviously,
she is a bit of an inspiration, having gone through hard times and actually
used food banks rather than just waffled on about how important they are (and
oh-my-goodness I just googled her and we’re the same age..). Nevertheless, having
read her G2 articles, a lot of her
recipes don’t exactly jump off the page, especially if Felicity Cloake has
something ultra-ritzy with cream and white wine sharing the same page.
Having been invited to a
Christmas ugly jumper party by Constantine House (the home of mad American
archaeologists and medievalists), I managed to persuade Roger on the day of the
event to make the trip to Leeds to hunt out a jumper. But before we left the
flat that morning, the doorbell rang and the postman held out a giant parcel-
for me! I had no idea what it was, with a London postmark, but eagerly
unwrapped it to find A FOX ONESIE! Alright, so I may have been reluctant to
join the animal onesie craze but being given something is different from
actually buying the thing. Turns out I won a Christmas competition that
Yo!Sushi had posted on their Facebook page! Feeling a little bad that I’d
slammed them in a review, we nonetheless had at least half an hour of
excitement trying it on. Cosy.
