Me Man Not Woman


Damn fine fellow old Gray!


Decent jalopy


Graham and me after work

Playing in the gardener's Land Rover

Been extra busy today, so much so that the bit between my shoulders aches:) Age? Climbing on tables? Or just a big kid at heart who thinks nothing of doing MAN'S WORK:)
Idiot.
I've done something today which I can't brag about on account of not wanting Mr H to read about it at work. But I can assure you he will be madly happy when he comes in tonight.

Anyway the mighty job is done now and I stand proud. Proud but with lumber issues.

I recorded the final of Masterchef:The Professionals and have yet to watch it so..I'm avoiding anyone who looks like they might know. My money is on David the shaker but Claire is great too, the other one whose name fails me is good aswell.
I've warmed to David on account of his tears, a lovely lovely young fella who gets in a state yet always always delivers.
Claire is a fascinating girl, one who by rights shouldn't be this good at her young age, but a more determined woman cook I've yet to see. Like her a lot.
The other bloke, oh dear, hasn't made much of an impression, and he'll be the one who probably wins!

The programme has me engrossed from start to end especially when the contenders are thrown into the boiling oil of a posh 3 star Michelin restaurant. Scale thirty Red Snappers the judges say and make them look good. Or fry prawns wrapped in shoestring pastry and don't burn them.
Or make a Celeriac jus with just the right amount of squiggle. Love it.

I feel an absolute plank when watching it, makes my pies look like pies from Big Ron's cafe on a rough and dirty road just off the M25.

But cooking is an art and I try to paint my plates well:)

The pics up there were taken yesterday by Mr H, we, that's the three of us had a jolly good time loading up the Landie and trailer with dead vegetation, tons more to go but we're getting there. Bless him!


Cooking tonight:
Sausage with spicy rice and vegetables
followed by coconut and raspberry jam sponge

:)

Ugh my tea's gone cold:(
