A Pefect Friday...


Long Run


Chatted to dad on phone after he bagged today's big winner at Cheltenham.

Six yr old 'Long Run' flew past previous winners, Denman and Kauto Star, to grab the Gold Cup at 7/2 fav. ...But not for Pop, he got 5/1 this morning courtesy of Hills. Much dosh now flows:)
'Long Run' is the first six yr old to win the great prize since one of my family's old favourites, Mill House, grabbed it in 1966. Happy days.

Watching the Gold Cup was the only time I sat down this afternoon on account of preparing a fab if enormously time consuming Biriyani. The veg curry and rice dish was accompanied by home made Naans, thick creamy yoghurt and spiced mango chutney. Simple homely delicious tasting food. I was over the moon John with the Naans, dry fried on my old griddle till a little puffed and slightly tiger skinned. So hot it got in the kitchen that I had to have a flannel.

For later and tomorrow...I quickly made a dead easy coffee and walnut sponge cake, preferring to use Nescafe instead of Camp. Nothing wrong with Camp but wanted a more pronounced wicked flavour. Buttercreamed the insides and top then decorated with smashed nuts. Yum!

I now am in the mood for all sorts.
