Tonight shall be spent
making and eating fajitas (the potato wedges are currently sitting in a vat of olive oil and several nommy spices), drinking wine and watching the footy highlights if only to throw things at the screen when Arsene Whinger's miserable fucking Gallic face comes on. And laugh at him until I rupture.

You could spend some time reminding Bob of the scoreline if you get bored with any of that.

It was quite a comeback, to be sure.
Arsenal basically though they didn't have to try second half, and so didn't turn up.

I suppose at 4-0 up I can see why they might have thought that, but still... Can't wait for the highlights tonight.

Greatest comeback since Lazarus?

Possibly, yes.
We could have won it as well.

TGB made them for us the other day, they were so good, really hit the spot.
I love them when they have all the condiments, loads of gwackmoli, I lap that stuff up big time.

The missus makes her own.
We've had two avocados ripening in the kitchen for a fortnight; it's gonna be fucking excellent.

Oh lush ! Do you know about the banana and brown bag trick ? The banana absorbes the lifeforce out of the avacardo so they ripen quicker.
I would say they're in my, at least, top 5 list of vegs. They're amazing with bacon in a sandwich, or if you fill where the seed is with vinigar* and sprinkle on salt.

* If you can get "Seasoned japanese vinigar", it's my fave base-viniger, great for salad dressing or chips or, well, anywhere you would use a standard viniger. It's stronger and sweeter.

bless you gonz
'absorb the lifeforce'. bananas give off a chemical which encourages ripening in other fruit.

Hah, I know =)
I didn't realise it worked with other fruit though.

'fraid it's not actually true.
Ethylene works on apples and maybe some other fruit but nothing works on avocados.
That's why 2 things 1) they're so pricey and 2) you can buy the ripe now and nearly ripe packs.
You probably won't believe me but it is true.
I've actually tried this out at home, using about £20 worth of avocados in 3 separate groups cos I was massively sceptical and the simple fact is the avocado skin is just too thick to allow gas permeation.
