Joan Bennett’s Beetroot Salad

Joan Bennett
“I don`t think much of most of the films I made,
but being a movie star was something I liked very much.”
I’m feeling rather low this weekend after Sidney & I decided to call it a day. Very sad. Very sad indeed. I feel an extended period of cooking on the way. And lots of work on the book.I’m spending my Sunday recovering from a wild Eurovision party last night. It was just what I needed, the company of some very good, very old friends, copious amounts of booze and lots of a-whooping, a-hollering and a-warbling along. And today, I’m being very self-indulgent. Drinking G&T in the afternoon, scoffing Joan’s Beetroot salad and watching the Come Dine With Me omnibus. Spinsterdom. Again.
