Extending the Bank Holiday

Yesterday was such a lovely day. I felt really sorry for all the people who had to go back to their office jobs, especially my husband who worked really hard on fixing our windows over the holiday weekend and didn't really get a break. To extend the holiday feel when he got home, I had done all of the evening chores and ordered in from our favourite Thai restaurant. All he had to do when he got home was eat dinner, accompanied by Billecart-Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs. The champagne is a surprisingly good match with the Thai cuisine, although the chef seemed to have thrown in a couple of extra handfuls of chillis last night which was a little overwhelming. I hate to say it, but my seafood curry slightly outshone the champagne - along with mussels, scallops, squid, and shrimp, there was a half of a crab in it, just waiting to be picked apart and devoured. Yum!
