Mae West’s Salada de Tuna

“Cultivate your curves…”

Sure thing Mae, I will!

Doesn’t Salada de Tuna sound much more fun than Tuna Salad? I was rustling some up in the kitchen just now when I heard a really, really loud plane fly past. This sometimes gives me the heeby jeebies, being so close to Centre Point – a very tall skyscraper – but then I heard them announce a fly past to celebrate the Queen’s birthday on the radio. So I ran out on to the balcony and although the plane was gone, a beautiful big fluffy red, white and blue vapour trail was puffing up in the sky. Gorgeous.

It’s day 1 of a 2 day writing jag. I’m working mostly on a talk I am going to give at the Cinema Museum on 28th June about the Silver Screen Suppers project. If you are London based, please come along. Free Janet Gaynor’s Ice Box Cookies! It’s at 3pm and more details are here – www.cinemamuseum.org.uk – no idea why they have christened it “Eat to the Stars” – eating your way to heaven perhaps…
