Lazy day today.

Slept in, then had a brunch of pork pie followed by a cheese and chutney sandwich, two and some fresh pineapple.

Listened to Arsenal v Newcastle and watched the W-series from Brands.

Now sat with another and some snaccsidents.

It is currently

My goodness, such decadence...

Just had to go out in the rain and clear the guttering. Luckily it was the downpipe that was blocked and a quick job.

Lovely supper tonight.

Basa cooked in a foil parcel (just pepper, salt, some tarragon and a dab of butter), bulgur wheat with parsley and lemon, and a medley of sauteed veggies (onion, sweet pepper, courgette and mushrooms), followed by some more of that lovely pineapple.



I have an inkling that the snaccidents will probably be staying in the cupboard tonight.

The girls have enjoyed the skirt steak I bought for them.

I just had a shower.

Now I'm waiting for my hair to dry.

Really need to get my hair buzzed again...

It'll be the same result as when it was actually played.

Of course. But I refuse to line Rupert Murdoch's pockets just to watch the games live.

Radio 5 Live all the way for me.

Sounds good. Do you then wang that in the oven or under the grill?

If you put it in the oven for 20 mins to half an hour (depending on the size of the pie) you really don't need to pre-cook the fish. Just cut it into chunks and stir into the hot sauce. Your fish won't go rubbery that way as it poaches gently in the sauce.

Edited to say that if you do as above, then add some raw king prawns as well. And / or raw scallops (the small ones that come in a prepacked tray) if you're feeling particularly poncy.

P.S. YS really is your friend here...

I grill the fish for 4-5 minutes so that it's barely cooked but it will 'flake', it also means that the skin will peel off so half a dozen furry gannets have a bit of a treat. Hugh Barely-Withitall recommends poaching the fish in milk then making the sauce with that but it didn't work as well when I tried that so I went back to 'lightly' grilling the fish.

Youngest Grand Daughter thought it was lovely.

Awake far too early this morning

 

[Illaveago]

Mooorrrrnnniiinnnngggg!

My net is very slooooow!

My tablet seems as though it has finally given up. The result of which means that you might have some peace and quiet for a while.

We went to Lacock at War yesterday. It didn't seem so well attended as last year. Not sure if it was due to the weather or if it was down to a boycott caused by a press incident last year.
I spotted a few war time bicycles which had different means of folding. The BSA Paratrooper bike , A Raleigh and a Whitworth.
I tripped over a guy rope during a down pour ! I blame my specs! They seem to cut down peripheral vision. Especially where my feet are concerned.
