Football and food

It's been a rainy, cold day and we've stayed at home - one of us watching nonstop football and the other in the kitchen, nonstop cooking. The outcome was an impending grudge match between us, AKA The Vikings (boo/hiss) vs. The Saints (geaux!!).........as well as a loaf of strawberry bread made using this recipe...
It turned out nicely, it is drier than the apple-banana bread I made recently, more like a traditional crusty bread loaf.





....and a batch of vegetable pakoras with a side of tamarind chutney:








I'm ready for a nap.
