Tonight I have been invited to do a private book presentation to a group of friends – bring and share dinner and I have made some of the world famous Edamame and Pea Hummus to take along. A large pot of it is currently sitting looking extremely green in a pot in the fridge –…
How did you sleep last night?
I slept badly last night. To be more accurate, I hardly slept at all. I went to bed and couldn’t fall asleep, dozed but by 2am it was clear that the more I lay there the more frustrating it would become. Time to get up and do something. For me that’s make a milky drink,…
