I took the dog for a walk this morning and found all the hedges on the main road had been cut. Real mess all over the footpath and road. Glad I'm not riding the bike today. P*nct*res guaranteed.

I am standing in the naughty corner.I am confessing to you my peers.I have sinned by turning down cake.Our daughter made a cake for Mrs P's dad.He will be 90 next week.Well it got a little bit burnt after having just a few too many mins in the oven.So she made another.Which has turned out better.Well it was a recipe by a football club owner,let's be having you rant.Well for my taste it has far too much fruit in it and too much brandy.Well we have had slice everyday for the past five days,and it gives me a bit of stick indigestion wise.So I have refused some today.How long do I have to stand in the corner.After sinning against rule two eat cake.Rule one being you can never have too many bikes.

Rule one is never discuss "Fight Club".
Rule two is there can never be too many bikes/always room for N+1.
Rule three is never refuse cake when offered.
Rule four is that the conversation always returns to sandwichs.

It is snowing here. Just a heads up, @rockyroller . N'or Easter may be a bit more powerful this time.

Mild, breezy and overcast here chez Casa Reynard.

I am feeling a bit more chipper today after a good night's sleep. I hauled some small firewood this morning (the stuff you use for a bit in between kindling and putting proper logs on) and de-quarantined the shopping.

There is rain coming in later, so I will have a kitchen afternoon. I need to make a pot of soup, prep tonight's dinner and poach that kilo of salmon that I picked up on Saturday.

I have my own process that involves spraying & wiping. Wifey abandoned all precautions & now does nothing. my brother leaves everything in his basement for 24hrs. what's yours?

hehe thank you! I'm sorry, did you say you were near Chicago? if so I believe that put's you at the northern edge of the storm this morning. is it cold? my car's thermo read 13F but it's been inaccurate lately. my ride is scheduled well before any flakes fall approx 4:30-6:30pm. the only thing I will have to deal with is the cold

wow, kinda rude that they didn't sweep up afterwards, no?

I'm new to cooking . How many hours should I boil an egg for ?

Wifey likes to torture hers. I think you boil the water, turn OFF the heat, then place the eggs in the hot water. dunno about the amount of time, tho

 

[rockyroller]

Don't do what i did.The first meal i cooked for myself after getting divorced.It was all ready meal type stuff.But i fancied some peas.Prick tin and stand in boiling water for twenty mins.Never got my dinner,spent six hours in A & E.Mind you they gave me a sarnie and a brew.

dunno what A&E or sarnie are but sounds grim. I was separated for 4 months in my own small studio apt. meals were grim but surprisingly I kept the place clean. didn't want my bike (stored in the kitchen) revolting I guess

took down the pop-up canopy in anticipation of the incoming storm. the box says it's only intended for shade from the sun. if I get the patio & roof shoveled/raked I may set it up again

A&E is the Emergency Room and a 'Sarnie' is a Butty*

That was a thorough eye test . They even asked me if my wife was wearing a red pullover .

Must have been a memory test !

I have my own process that involves spraying & wiping. Wifey abandoned all precautions & now does nothing. my brother leaves everything in his basement for 24hrs. what's yours?

I just dump everything in the utility room at the back of the garage for the recommended 72 hours. I have a fridge in there for chilled stuff. If something needs to come out of quarantine early, then the packaging gets wiped down with antibac spray.

Although the reason I have a fridge in the utility room in the first place, is that I only have a galley kitchen, hence my kitchen fridge is rather small.

Anyways, time to cook up a cauldron of soup. I have lamb bones, onions, leeks, carrots, celery sticks and a parsnip.
