Thursday, March 25th

Started The Book of Love by James McConnachie last night. A history of the Kamasutra. It was orignally translated into English by Richard F Burton, who also translated A Thousand and One Nights. I am still enamoured of Nights, misogynistic as it is.

The following is a tolerable weeknight meal that could as easily be made with whatever vegetables you have available.

Endive & Bacon pot

250g Streaky bacon, cut into pieces

Fry in heavy pot for 5 minutes.

3 Belgian endives
10 Smallish onions
10 Medium carrots
200ml Sage

Clean vegatables and chop roughly. Add to bacon, stir for 5 mins more on high heat, put lid on. When lid rattles, turn heat down and simmer for 10-15 minutes more.
