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?

    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
