Food to be honest wasn't top of my priorities today but in an attempt to gee myself up I made plans to create a creamy bacon & pea risotto for dinner. However, when Gerry arrived home and asked if I wanted to go out. I'd said earlier in the month that I wanted to be more spontaneous and this seemed like a good place to start, even more so as it was her very welcome suggestion. We headed to Banana Tree, a small and very popular Thai restaurant near our house. It was quick and flavoursome and being early birds we benefited from their Express Menu special deal. I opted for Thai fish cakes with a sweet chilli sauce followed by a chicken Pad Thai. Being little dare devils we also had a Chang beer to wash it all down.
Then it was back home to feast on popcorn and watch The Girl Who Played with Fire. I loved the books and the film does it justice. However, Gerry is not a particular fan of the actor, Michael Nyqvist, who plays one of the film's leads, Mikael Blomkvist. I actually think he is well cast, although when I read the books I envisaged him being a little better looking. We munched on one of Gerry's favourite corn snacks, popcorn and it's actually the only picture I have of food from the day so it is therefore shown below. It was lovely and buttery and I could feel it sticking to my hips immediately. A nice end to a day that didn't start nearly as promising and I was very much looking forward to our coastal adventure the next day.
