Got all the sheets and stuff washed and dried, woot!
And I cleared out my fridge!! It might not look the most appetising, but this pasta in kale sauce is WINNING - and extremely cheap! Uses a few different pots but not hard to do at all and can be quite quick. Great way to use up heaps of kale as well... And not get the bastard stuck between your newly cleaned teeth...

Followed this recipe in the NYT except for step 1, where I instead slow cooked a mirepoix (carrot, celery and onion chopped finely), along with the finely chopped kale ribs, and added some good stock powder, garlic powder (and garlic infused olive oil), and some herbs (dried thyme and oregano, some rosemary from the balcony). And threw in some chickpeas at the end as that tin's been sitting in my pantry for far too long.
I also finally gave my rather dusty and overgrown prostrate rosemary on the balcony a long overdue haircut - this is about 1/3 of the plant's bulk, it was pretty much poking into the downstairs neighbour's balcony... There's too many dead flowers and gunk in all that shit, I'll try to clean up a bit but I think most of it is going in the green bin sadly.
Kitchen's tidied, now to head to Leo's, pick up all the good shit, and make my bed (ughhhhhhhhghhghh but I'll thank myself for it later).
The things you can do when the sun's out...
