Took a lovely walk from Limehouse to Lea Bridge Road, all along the River Lee 19,400 steps banked, lots of bicycles avoided, and lots of bridges crossed

So I got some suitable food for the hedgehog Stood on the path trying to hear where it was. And it walked right up to my feet 💜 ( nearly made me jump) Bad picture of the hedgehog eating, but I dare not use flash

Very dark picture of a hedgehog eating food.

The food is glowing a bit and the hedgehog is a dark shape, munching away

I'll admit I love whisky but rarely have it as a cocktail , so maybe... This is a Paloma, which I drink quite often & bears a striking resemblance

Fab stuff! I make this salad frequently

Couscous Salad with Fennel, Herbs and Walnuts

2 teaspoons cumin seeds

I teaspoon coriander seeds

1 teaspoon fennel seeds

300g wholemeal giant couscous, also called

Israeli couscous, or moghrabieh

1 onion, diced

2 celery sticks, diced

1 fennel bulb, chopped, tops reserved

2 garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped

1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley, chopped

a small handful of mint leaves

75g walnuts, lightly toasted (if you can be bothered) and roughly chopped

zest and juice of 1 lemon

extra virgin olive oil

Put the cumin, coriander and fennel in a dry frying pan and toast for a few minutes, shaking the pan to make sure that they toast evenly. When they are fragrant, tip them into a mortar and grind them into a powder.

Fry the vegetables and garlic in some olive oil a large frying pan for about 5-8 minutes. Fry them on a medium heat stirring often, so that they soften a little bit, but still have some crunch. Remove from the heat and add the spices and lemon zest.

Cook the couscous according to packet instructions in boiling, salted water about 8-9 minutes. When it is done, drain it and mix it with the vegetable and spice mixture. Allow it all to cool slightly, and then add the chopped herbs, walnuts and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Before serving add a little bit more oil and lemon juice.
