A Two-Course Feast for One

I feel like I should probably point out that I'm not a complete slob.  In other areas of my life I'm really very grown up; my house has a front and back garden, for example (in London, who even knew that existed?), and we have a cleaner who comes around once a week AND a water filter, so...

Tonight in honour of all things civilised and grown-up I decided to cook myself a 2-course feast.  I hear ya ladies, "but think of all the calories" but I'd been for a run so it's ok.

All day I'd been fantasing about the two Linda McCartney sausages that I had in the freezer (mmm, seasoned cereal and vegetable protein) and what I could have with them.  As I attempted to stay awake on the tube I remembered a supersize bag of tesco petits pois that I'd bought in a rare moment of forward food planning and just knew that the combination would be absolutely delicious.  But it didn't quite seem... enough.

I raided the fridge. Rocket salad?  That could work... but alas, the fridge was on too high and the rocket had frozen.  I had solid leaves (get it? solid leaves, sol-id leaves, salad leaves?  It's not even funny, don't worry about it) so that option was off the table.  Some extra mature cheese?  Perhaps but I wasn't sure it'd go with the vinegar.

I gave up.  I had nothing that would go with my sausage/pea/vinegar feast and I was hungry - Now. Unless..                                              
                                                                             
...unless I had two-courses... that's right a two-course meal for one.  Pleased with my ingenuity in the kitchen I returned to the fridge: a cheese starter, followed by a sausage and pea medley, what a treat.

To be honest I've finished that and I'm still a bit hungry.  I might get myself a twix which would obviously make it a 3-course meal.  Watch this space...
