Officially Awesome. How's the flavour?

very nice! it's ok, i can say it myself, it was a packet cake! (cadbury's though)

thanks for the birthday wishes.

we just ate calzoncelli for tea, made em with wholemeal flour, filled em with a bolognaise sauce. played dvd cluedo while we ate too. really nice day all round i reckon.

Tonight I will be lazy, and make the pre-seasoned peppercorn pork loin I bought the other day. (The pre-seasoned ones were cheaper than the non-seasoned).

Will serve with potatoes au gratin and green salad with some kind of home-made dressing. (I've fallen in love with cider vinegar, so we're having a lot of home made salad dressing).

IC, I'm a big fan of potatoes au gratin, but one of my favourite ways is to simply boil until firm but tender, then toss with a good squeeze of lemon, *good* olive oil, fresh pepper, fresh rosemary and fresh thyme...

Mmmm. Greek flavours.

Sadly I am out of rosemary and fresh thyme, and am too broke to replenish my supplies just now. Otherwise, I would try out your suggestion!

So, au gratin it is, because that's what I've got. (This is what happens when I spend too much on meat! I run out of funds for the nice extras...).

A banana for breakfast. Washed down with one liter of water.

Midmorning snack: cortado, Spanish version of an espresso macchiatto, with a sizable portion of Spanish omelette (potatoes, onion) on toast.

Before lunch, two tapas, a king prawn on a stick, deep fried with a ground almond and ginger dusting and a thin slice of fresh bolete; and a cod stuffed red bell pepper. Two small beers.

For lunch confitted onions with baked goat cheese and grilled cured ham, followed by stewed young duck in a red wine and red fruit reduced sauce. Curdled milk sherbet. Washed down by a third of a red wine bottle (an excellent local wine), a liter of water, a couple of cortados and pacharán, a local wood berry liquor.

Autumn has arrived.

Jeez, man. I just ate a bunch of unidentifiable, preservative-laden crap that made me ill.

Trade?

No deal, but I will treat you if you drop by.

You could say it is a detox cure...

That would be lovely; thank you for the invite. It's not doable too soon, but I'm thinking next year around this time we'll make it to Eurpoe. Main focus will be Germany, but I'm looking for other spots to reach out to as well.

The second World Gravy Tour will enjoy better food, then.

Just finished my 12th consecutive bottle of Green Tea. Breakfast is about an hour and a half off.

Unless you actually ate the bottles, you are in the wrong thread, you know.

If this is the right thread, do not worry, the pain will stop soon.

Makeshift breakfast at work. Superstore special chemical white toasted bread with cheap sunflower margarine and a cup of Twinings early grey with a hint of bergamout (my treat).

Lunch at work. Small, dirty kitchen. No female intervention here. 24p noodle pot.

Breakfast this morning was blue corn pancakes sprinkled with pinon nuts with a side of eggs over easy. Great way to start the day off.

Beef-O-Brady's wings today and football at a friends house.

I have to go to a wedding later though

It's not MINE!

Homemade biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast.

Cookies for lunch

Will have chicken and left-over biscuits for dinner.

Nice breakfast, IC! I had ramen 'n kimchi, with a splash of sesame oil, and black coffee. (We've been ramen-free for several months, so it was an occasion 'round here.)

Right now -- glass o' red wine and Triscuits_(tm) with swiss cheese and pepperoni.

We should be thinking about dinner, I suppose (the kids would like it if we did), but I don't really have a plan for that yet (6:33 p.m. local).

Man, Twinings Earl Grey always tastes like motor oil to me. I don't think they use real bergamot in it.

Dilmah does, though I doubt the ol' tea giants of Blighty would let an upstart company run by a bunch of former colonials in.

Twinings Irish Breakfast, however, is the shizzle.

Thanks Lith, I shall investigate both CDilmah and Irish Breakfast as I've only a few bags left.

Had a pot of natural yoghurt for brekkie this morno. Just had TWO BANANAS for a mid morning hit, but my old granny used to say, "no more than two a day".

WHY?

Will I self combust?

constipation, my dear.
