Looks amazing!

I'm hammering through Escoffier again. I know it's a cookbook but to me it's a cultural history of regional French cooking that sadly is being lost because young/middle aged French people don't cook anymore.

Haven't read a book for over 5 years, in the last decade I've probably read 3 books.

But new year new me and all that **** so decided to pick up a book last night. Had to pick from what the wife has as I don't have any, went for 'The Humans' by Matt Haig. Read the first 20 pages or so and it was relatively amusing.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

I finished reading "Touching Distance" on the plane. Book about King Kev and the 95/96 season. What could have been <urgh>

Read Joey Bartons book a little while ago, some parts are pretty interesting but he's a massive knobhead as expected. Reading the Game Of Thrones books now. On the 4th one, they're all huge but first 3 are great.
