On the menu

*Minestrone soup

*Munchkins cakes

*Pork chops with sage and onion crust

I won't make gallons of soup as it's only for mum and me but there will be heaps... of that I can assure you! It won't be a pukka Italian Minestrone of course but my version, which is a bit scary. All sorts going in the pot, savoy cabbage, carrots, bacon, rice, onions and tomatoes. Might make some Irish Soda rolls too.

The Munchkins have been requested so I will do as I'm told....With love of course. I must though make more of an effort with the delicate chocolate lids, I tend to attack rather than mollycoddle.
Blame it on excitement.

For once I'm going to do something different with the blasted chops, dipping in egg then dipping in sage and onion stuffing mix, then fry in oil and butter till crisped and brown. Yum. Veggies on the side? Sprouts probably.

Just a quick look outside, bare soil and birds, a lovely stillness and light breeze making the potted chives tremble.

Wore my cap whilst...

Making a banana trifle.
Watching 'Infamous Assassinations' on 'Yesterday'.
Making a chocolate fudge cake.
Googling cholesterol.
Making 3pts Minestrone soup.
Watching recorded 'Cracker'. Coltrane is excellent as the shrink. Bit large, but a nice cushion.
Looking in my drawers for women's accoutrements.
Drinking three cups of coffee in quick succession with my feet on a pouffe. Unknown for me to drink so much cof in one go. Not unknown for my legs to be outstretched in the afternoon.
Pulling my eyelids down looking at veins.
