*tumble weeds and cricket sounds, sitting on the front porch on a cold night drinking a glass of sasperella listening to those new beach boy boys on the wireless... in a stained vest with shotgun by my side*
Well now pilgrims, lovely night we have ourselves here. It's nights like these that I'm happy to be here in the great state of southern carolina. I has me sasperella, I has old Monster *maingy mutt by my feet looks up and back down again* and I has me music. I reckons on a night like this, all a man needs is the company of a good women, I miss mrs gonz to tell you the truth, I miss her something bad, gawd rest here soul. Still though, I have the cool calming night air, I has my sasperella, and I has me memories. God's not been to kind to me, delt me a fair few blows, but heck, I don't mind, and I'll tell him so when I meet him myself.

Tonights for my troubles of a long day, I gone done made myself a pasta with a slightly mustardy creamy sauce with fried onions and liver with a nice crust. I even, gosh dang it, I even flombayed the whole thing and thought for a moment that I'd set fire to the kitchen...*cackle and thigh slaps*... I used a whole mini-bottle without thinking about it, WOOSH, I never did see such a flame in all my days. Only trouble though, during the whole cooking process, the crones kicked in out of the blue and I lost my apptite. Tasting good, really really good, just can't stomach anything solid.

Anyway, partner, I'll scootch over on this here swinging chair, open up another bottle of a cold one, and you can tell me what troubles you.

*idles up and courtsies lightly*
Evenin' Gonz, I was just passin' by on my way outta town. Seems to be there ain't money around to be made so I reckon I'ma head east. I've got family back there, ain't seen mah momma in years, and daddy ain't doin' too good last I heard.
They's openin' a new facktry. And I reckon I oughta just see if I cain't get me a job there. Ole Arthur's eatin' up momma purty bad and she cain't pull many more shifts at the diner. And I ain't got me a fella to help with the wolves.
Times they are-ah changin'.

Indeed they are pre''y lil' lady, indeed they are.
I's reckons that be a fine idea, a mighty fine one. But how 'bout this for ya' consideration, something to mull over at yar convinance. In 'em ol' country, just east of the alantic, yar' got plenty o' friends on that side of the pond and I dare say ya'culd make quite a life for ya'self. But if thems be trouble with ma' and pa', if it be, gawd forbid, their times comin' up, that that's where ya' gotta be pointin' 'em 'ere wagons. Heck, the queen was here before ya' and she'll be there after, sure, might 'ave turned into a king by then, but ma sentaments still stand, and ya'll be more than welcome when the times right.

No joke, consider all the facts, all the pluses and downs, keep in mind that you can always go home if it doesn't work out....
... and although I said it light heartedly, if you ain't happy where you are, it might not be a bad idea. Naturally they'd be loads of downsides, but think about it. I can hook you up with work, it's shit work, really really shit, but it's still work, and you can always sofa-hop for a few months 'till it's alright.

It'll be a right shame to waste all that hotness on just one girl, esspesh one that's loved up and all that so would get back with you if you play around anyway.
Might as well come out on the pull, we'll drop a few Es, fight the bouncers, churps up the birds, snort some lines, get ourselves chucked out so make our way down to a club, then at 3 in the morning have a kabab and ask the cab driver if he knows anyone who'll give him a commision, if you know what I mean. Could go for twins, I'll have a look on www.punternet.com in advance, see if I can find a place that takes credit cards with arabic names, if you know what I mean.

What's a duxelles? When you say escaloped, do you mean you butterflied, hammered and then breadcrumb'd it?
I'm afraid the old stuffed chicken with cheese and bacon thing isn't for me, I can't say I've had it, but I just can't imagine enjoying it. I know lots of people who do that as 'their dish', Sexface did for example, but I think it needs something more crunchy and something more saucy.

escaloped - just hammered it flat
butterflying is for girls.

Mushroom Duxelles, you take mushrooms and shallots 2:1, mince and cook them intensely in butter until all the moisture is sweated out and it's pastelike, then you add brandy and worcester sauce and it just slurps up the flavours.

Then use it or freeze it in pencils wrapped in tinfoil and defrost as much as you need. Good for stuffing things or dropping in casseroles for a mushroom flavour.

Just as you are walking out the door.

This was made clear in my opening gambit today of, 'I thought it would make a change to bring the working day forward, rather than extend it so we ALL get stuck in rush hour traffic'.

Sadly, it went rather too well. No phones rang, everyone was alert and we got lots more covered off in less time. I fear I may have created something that'll trend.
