 Oh man, how you doing the salmon? I'm totally digging the idea of a Salmon and new potato dinner at the moment...
	Oh man, how you doing the salmon? I'm totally digging the idea of a Salmon and new potato dinner at the moment...... I like to do that but I season-flour the salmon and shallow-fry. Then serve with sweet-chili mixed with mayo. Oh dude, that is _exactly_ what I want for dinner this week at some point. I can totally make my awesome potato salad the next day too. GOOD THINKING MAN.
Are you a vegeterian? I've never tried Quorn before, but I like the idea of having a low-fat alternative to meat. I might give it a shot this week.

 Keeping the salmon simple
	Keeping the salmon simpleA drizzle of olive oil and a grind of salt and pepper and baked for 20 mins.
EDIT: and a clove of garlic in with it.
I am vegetarian. Quorn is not that exciting, but it can be flavoured to resemble something and I need protein in my meal.

 I like that you cook meat even though you don't eat it yourself. Do you just chop the garlic up and put it over it?

 I really wish I could enjoy beer, but I just don't. It seems like there are many wonderful flavours and types, I just don't like it though. Ditto for wine.

Shed I can use as a workshop, but the wood is rotting a bit round the bottom so I may have to fix it first

 i doubt this is interesting to anyone else
	i doubt this is interesting to anyone elseMy house has a story with it. The previous owner's family left me a 'good luck in your new home' card in which they told me the house had been in the family since 1937 when it was built. Today i found another clue about the guy who was in it last (something written on a piece of card, possibly for a carer). He was born in Poland and came here in 1945 and must have married into the family.
Well, I thought it was interesting, anyway

 Evening.
	Evening.I have cooked, eaten and drank too much. A friend came over for lunch today and I did:
Starter: Smoked salmon, leaves etc. (lazy cooking except I made lemon butter & homemade bread to accompany it).
Main: Slow roasted lamb shank with puree potato, ratatouille and a red wine, rosemary and smoked garlic reduction.
Pudding: Cheese (again; lazy cooking). Comte, Gorgonzola & Camembert.
Accompanied with a 1996 Pol Roger champagne and some excellent Rioja.
Tomorrow I am attending an infant first aid course. Important but very dull.
