I visited a Spanish tapas resaurant in town on Saturday with Mrs Cow. The food was truly excellent, as was the wine. To counteract this, I was at McDonalds with the kids on Saturday lunchtime eating a "burger" of some description which seemed to taste of nothing at all.

What was your culinary highlight/lowlight of the weekend?

Monday evenings - what are we to do with them?

The Mogul curry house, Saffron Walden
The friends we went to the Ballroom competition with on Saturday were familiar with it and suggested we drop in on our way back. Got their at 11.15 and they were most accomodating, served up excellent grub and furnished us with free brandies at close of play. Would definitely go again.

If I had a car.

Whenever I go for a curry I insist on eating something I've never tried before. This was a chef's special with lamb, hot and sour, and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it. 12 hours at a Ballroom competition seriously messes with your brain.

At Man Utd he won pretty much everything, at 'Boro he won their first cup in about a billion years and got them to a Euro final, at Twente he won the league. In fact, bar his time with Wolfsburg he has been largely successful as a club manager.

I assume that all that stuff costs an absolute fortune?
From the pics I've seen you're not exactly a lardarse so I wouldn't worry about that.

We're not doing all that well in the league either to be honest. We've 'won' 2 games out of 5 so far, but 1 of those wins was a forfeit. It also hasn't helped that 2 of the games where we got off to good starts were subsequently abandoned due to the shit weather.

Our match next weekend is away to the 2nd top team in the league, so it could be a bit of an ordeal.

How many teams are in your league?

Well fingers crossed
It doesn't help that our club president/opening bowler had a massive flounce after the game yesterday. He's resigned and said that he's not coming back. All because our scorer marked the book in accordance with the umpires signals. Crazy stuff. The umpire signalled 4 runs, which the scorer marked against the bowler, but apparently the batsman didn't touch it, so it should have been 4 byes. Totally pathetic. The scorer is not permitted to question the umpire's signals.

There are 12 teams in our division. 2 go up and 2 go down. Thankfully 1 team is almost certainly guaranteed to go down as their whole club has been punished for non-payment of fees. All of their teams have had to forfeit all their matches in the first half of the season, which is a blessing.

Hang about
Your CLUB PRESIDENT has flounced because his average is going to be slightly worse than he believes it should be?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 12:16, Reply)

That's about the size of it.
He bowled 6 overs, 0 wickets for 11 runs, but he insists that it should have been 0 wickets for 7 runs. For fuck's sake.

And muggins here is vice-president, so I now appear to be driving the bus.

I've texted him back telling him to take a few days to think it over, and that I really don't think it's worth resigning over. What a tit though.

He should be more concerned with the "0 wickets" part. I say you take over and flood the team with more friends and family members.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 12:23, Reply)

Well exactly. He bowled really well, but just couldn't take any wickets.
Then the overweight, sluggish skipper came on lobbing his hand grenades, and took 3 wickets. This might also have contributed to the flounce I suppose.

Frankly I'm running out of GFs and family members to play. My daughter knocked me back last week - what more can I do?

Well obviously there's a bit of a 'lead time' associated with having children with the intention of breeding a cricket team

Saw a mate with last night who's got two kids, one 4 and the other 16 months
He said he wants more, and that "dealing with two kids is the same as dealing with one". As one of the proud Childless Men of B3ta, I'm ill-poised to suggest otherwise, but this sounded very much like total bullshit to me

On Saturday night
I had some magnificent roast beef on a bed of mash with a peppercorn sauce and roast veg.

Tonight I will be going to the gym, having a swim, and shagging the GF. The order in which those events take place has yet to be decided.
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Mon 13 Jun 2011, 11:33, Reply)

Highlight - made a flatbread pizza on Saturday night
and got the balance of meat and veg and herbs and cheese just right. Soooo good. Lowlight - dunno, all food is lovely. I dropped a yoghurt this morning just as I was about to leave for work and it burst all over the floor, which pissed me off.

Highlight was the homemade chilli
Lowlight was the 50p hotdog at the end of the Ikea 'experience'. Got a jar of ligonberry jam which is alright though.

Alt: I might go for a jog. The problem is I've got plenty of time between now and then to come up with a decent excuse not to bother.

I had slow roasted lamb shanks in red wine, shallots and rosemary
with potato and parsnip mash. It was fucking lush. Then I had pistachio and white chocolate cheesecake which was similarly lush. To counteract the lolfattyness of it all, today I am having salad. This will be supremely boring.

If you roast the parsnips, then yes
but there's no point roasting parsnips when you're not doing roast potatoes, and more importantly if the oven is at 150oC to slow roast your lamb...so mash it was.

Culinary high: I made a rather nice Thai green curry yesterday.
Culinary low: by the time it was ready I didn’t fancy it.

I did make some jolly tasty cheese on toast which I did eat. Ketchup under the cheese, Encona hot pepper sauce and a splash of Lea & Perrins on the top.

There is also a lot to be said for adding some mango chutney to the toasted cheese instead of the Lea & Perrins.
