Randomness

I actually FORGOT to eat any lunch yesterday I was so busy when I got in from the Marina.

Was it ebay Sales?
Web site sales?
New web site design customer?

Nope. I had to clear out all the shite that has collected in the far end of the kicthen (which was supposed to be a small dinning area, but which is actually used at a storage space and pet care centre for the furry little monsters we choose to love).

The reason? I have a chap coming round today to measure up the kitchen and try to convince me that it's his company's brand of kicthen we should be getting installed.

It took TWO trips to the tip (but I only have a Micra. A larger car would have done it in one with room to spare) and 5 hours!

It's strange the things you find when you start chucking stuff out. Like, for example, all the fabrics I bought from my cross stitch abou 6 years ago and then lost. In a bag, in side another bag, in a box, in the kitchen. Why didn't I think to look there FIRST?? I also found a packet of photographs from a holiday to Amsterdam I have with my best mate Jacs, her feller Dave, and my ex Shaun. It was allegedly so that I could study up for my Van Gogh dissertaion, but in reality, it was an excuse to get legally stoned! Although poor Jacs was pregnant at the tim and had to be good.

Well, I say good. The reason I know these photos are hers and not mine is that while I was flicking through them I found one of a half naked David walking towards a bed... from where the photo ghad clearly been taken.

I didn't look any further, and texted Jacs to let her know I had them!

Bizzarly, yesterday evening, I was talking to Kate (mum-in-law-to-be) and we found our selves laughing about weed (and how one of her cats used to eat it, and then spend two days in the bottom of the wardrobe!) and visits Amsterdam... and planning to take a short trip out there in Feb! Have I mentioned how much I love my mother in law??

How ethical is it to get stoned with your in laws?

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
