WFH and Food, Glorious Food...
Why can't we (or I) work from home? 

There will be some of us who will say that they can't work from home... but I'm one of those who can. 

I've long lost all home of actually getting a sleep in - sleep ins for me now a days seems to be awake before nine.  But that's okay, coz I can get up, make myself a cup of tea, and for breakfast... a bacon and egg sandwich, with a naughty later of melted cheese. Yum. 

Pop a load of laundry in the fridge - get a second cup of tea... and then off to the shops to pick up some groceries. 

Now okay, you're wondering where the working part of WFH is. 

I get home from the shops and it's off for solid 3-4 hours of work... and then lunch and a cooking marathon. =P 
At this point, I am already ahead of schedule of all the things I need to get done today. I'm still researching, so it's a topic every two days (or three, depending) so I've already by this time completed my topic, and will start the reading and a bit of drafting of another topic in preparation for Monday (it has to be completed by Tuesday). 

So the cooking marathon:
Bolognese in preparation for trying out lasagna tomorrow and also for lunch in the week. 
Garlic prawns which are waiting for me to throw some fresh diced tomatoes, passata (tomato sauce) and pasta into it... or on its own with a bottle of bubbly, I can't decide (though I DID make the tomato sauce...). 
Raspberries soaked in vanilla de madagascar (liquer) with white chocolate lemon marscapone cream....  which I kinda made up, and am kinda pleased with. The cream is a bit on the cloying side from the white chocolate... but I think will be great with the tart raspberries.  and I may serve it with a mille-feuille "cracker"... However, verdict is still out whether it makes it into my "special" recipe book.
Triple chocolate hazelnut brownies... which I just rescued out of the oven! 

Oh. And apart from going to the shops - I spent most of today in my jim-jams!
Off to read about cloud computing now. I'll work pretty solidly till around 5-6 this evening, I reckon. 
It's nice to be home.
