Dinner this evening, prepared by yours truly... and this is one you won't find in a recipe book. Take grilled lamb cut into tiny slithers mixed with steamed grated potato, Parmesan and carrot with butter. Served in corn tortilas dressed with mint sauce. Result? Disgusting!!


Come Dine With Me, anyone?

Anyhow, it wasn't my creation. It was offered up by a young serving boy called 'Jason' my staff at Sornoff Castle hired without my knowledge. He's currently languishing in my dungeons awaiting his punishment. Which will be most wrathful, I assure you.

Possibly! Such is my ignorance of all things culinary, that dinner actually seems quite nice!

Brum its just a bit too fussy, keep it simple - ditch the corn tortillas and parmesan and you'd have been fine ;-)

OMG. I never thought there could be a worse cook than me, but I have met my match.


Respect.

When I first met hubby all those years ago, his favourite snack was...urrghhh (*shudders*)...


...a mug of Earl Grey tea (made with condensed milk!)...and to accompany this concoction, a digestive biscuit (the man was indeed discerning: had to be a genuine digestive as opposed to a supermarket brand e.g.) broken in half with a slice of cheddar cheese carefully sandwiched between the two biscuit halves. The biscuit was then dunked into the "tea". Apparently there was a skill attached to getting it spot on: one had to time dunking time to within split-second precision...one milli-second too long an immersion resulted in not only the biscuit collapsing into the liquid but in also causing that liquid to resemble (and presumably taste like) an oil slick. Too short an immersion and the biscuit was too crunchy and the cheese insufficiently warmed.


Tea anyone?

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
    • An interesting article from Journalist Jim Waterson about how much councils make from festivals....it starts with an article about 5g but scroll down for the festivals article    https://www.londoncentric.media/p/real-5g-conspiracy-how-londoners-lied-over-their-phone-signal
