IN A JAM?

Well no-one wants to ever really be in a jam I guess but I tell you - if there was a bath full of this stuff I would be so straight into it with a pile of toasted muffins like you wouldn't believe!



Les Confitures Extra de Christine Ferber are like Heaven in a jar - one of the loveliest jams ever. [Except for all the jams our Nanna's made us.] I bought the 'Confiture pour Madame' because I thought if I eat enough of it I would grow up to be able to walk in heels as high as Madame herself [it's morello cherry GORGEOUS.] The other one I got, 'Nougabricot' is apricots, honey, almonds, pistachio nuts and pine nuts. I have been sending Pippa random texts about this jam every time I eat it cause I just can't believe how good it is!

I bought this jam at Le Péché Mignon, my favourite French deli in North London for when I can't get into Maison Bertaux or when I want a Croque Monsieur. God - imagine if they did home delivery and I could get a Croque sneaky supper tucked up in bed?! Obviously I still don't have a new boyfriend... LOL.

In other culinary news from the life of Lektrogirl, I went to Borough Market for the first the other day and had my first ever Scotch Egg. By all reasoning I should love a sausage covered boiled egg, but I gotta tell you - I think I will only ever have a Scotch Egg again if someone makes it freshly and it is still warm in the middle and the outside crispy. I think that is the key. After that disappointment, I discovered a GERMAN deli! Man! I mean Heren! Ich moechte ein Bratwurst on the days I'm not after a Croque Monsieur. I bought 4 bratwurst sausages for dinner and some HOT senf to go with them. The senf blew my head right off! THE BEST.



P.S. I don't always eat my food off a plate sitting on a plastic bag.
