Very pleasant lunch at Lye torng with Plum. Came back and made some bread. Ocado delivered this morning - will make the trifle tomorrow. May leave out the custard, and just soften the mascarpone and sweeten it a bit with icing sugar before folding in the whipped double cream. Normally the Italian trifle would also have alcohol added to this and beaten egg whites to lighten the topping, but decided not to risk raw egg whites for dinner, and the alcohol is purple so would not look too appetising mixed with the cream etc. With a normal Italian trifle using chocolate and coffee I would use almond liqueur and garnish the top with ratafias.
Watched A Mike Leigh DVD I recently ordered called 'All or Nothing' which I thought was very good. Certainly puts today's vapid films such as 'Love Actually' etc. by Curtis into perspective - apparently the new one about Radio Caroline is pretty hopeless.
