yummy shells
Wednesday, May 4, 2005
Pasta shells are so cool. I cooked some conchiglie and stirred in a big dollop of sun-dried tomato sauce, with spinach and pine nuts. Sometimes I get this big squishy bite of sun-dried sauce that has expertly hidden in one of the shells, sometimes its just a bit of sauce flavoured around the outside of the shell.
This has been the highlight of my day so far (how sad!). It is one of those blah..zzzzzzeee....days off days. Simon has a concert in east London tonight, I have to get ready soon. I will bring a book for the train journey. I have been reading The Fragrant Pharmacy by Valerie Ann Worwood (still really keen on essential oils!). A woman came into the shop yesterday asking for a relaxing massage oil, and I made up a nice custom blend - vetiver, lavender and chamomile. It is so fun, like cooking (I am going to try cooking with essential oils next, more on that later) I am thinking of taking a one year course in aromatherapy and massage next year- (NYR runs one year accredited courses). I am currently trying to decide between aromatherapy/massage, homeopathy, or natural medicine. The nice bit about the aromatherapy is at the end of the year I would be able to practice professionally...
