I found another excuse not to write on Saturday. This time it was cooking for friends. I decided to make a Chicken and Sumac pie - a gorgeous dish from Lebanon I've made before. Sumac, a sour tasting spice was no problem - but filo pastry was. Tesco in Heswall has an infuriating habit of never having supplies of anything slightly exotic when you need it. They often run out of coconut milk for heaven's sake. So I was forced far and wide (well, Sainsburys) to feed my mates. It was worth it though. The filling is very simple; chicken, onions, sumac, cardamon, cinnamon - but it is divine.
On the shopping front for writers I checked out Final Draft, nearly fainted at the price, and downloaded Celtx for free instead. At least formatting screenplays doens't have to drive me insane anymore. To whit I have worked out a new way of introducing my character Alex and his family in Granny's Little Helper. I like this family. Infact if they weren't imaginary I would invite them round for some pie too.
