Sometimes it's the ordinary things that turn out to be extraordinary. And sometimes it's just an extraordinarily shit week.
This week, we're finding the magic in the mundane. From boiling grains and washing lettuce to chopping salads, whipping up marinades and melting butter, we're asking whether the real value of our Thermomix lies in the everyday jobs rather than the show-stopping recipes.
Speaking of ordinary life, money is flying out the door faster than we can earn it. Vet bills, car repairs and concert tickets... is anyone else feeling personally victimised by their bank account?
In the kitchen, Bronte gets his cob loaf on, graduates to homemade croutons, then promptly phones it in with a Caesar salad. Erin, naturally, makes hers from scratch. Along with fried chicken steak. YUM.
Meanwhile, Bronte launches a daring rescue mission for some mushrooms and parsley facing certain death in his fridge. His husband, as always, remains blissfully unaware that food exists when Bronte leaves the house.
And just when we think life couldn't get more ridiculous, we take a look at the news cycle. Sharks, tigers, rollercoasters, people waking up at their own funerals... and Russell Brand. What an extraordinary collection of horrors.
It's the ordinary, the extraordinary and everything gloriously unhinged in between.
