Friday night I went out with my friend Elli. I tried a dry martini out of curiosity, and I can attest that, yes, it is dry.
Saturday I made a leek quiche (leeks are in season and I got some lovely fresh ones!), visited my grandmother (being a good grand-daughter takes work) and went to an indie concert. And wondered where all the indie kids were. My sister informed me that indie is out, and now all the kids want to be hipsters. Bleugh! Indie kids were miles cooler than boring hipsters. (I should know I was once an architecture student indie kid - we were a breed of our own.)
Sunday - today - I went to the Thuseio flea market with my mother (because parents need to be entertained too) and got a number of second hand biscuit tins (because I have plans!) and a lovely orange ceramic airtight container than will look lovely in our kitchen. Then my father drilled holes in our kitchen wall to help me put up some spice shelves (each parent needs different entertainment). I cooked them creamy chicken with tagliatelles (because being a grown-up means cooking for your parents).
In case any one was wondering about those biscuit tins and my plans. (I know you weren't, but humour me.)
I was thinking - because I'm cheap and rather broke - to make presents for my friends and family rather than buy stuff. For those who live in other countries or cities (and I have quite a few of those), I thought it would be a nice idea to bake them cookies (yes, I can bake cookies. My chocolate chip ones get very favourable reviews) and put them in tins to post to them.
