Is there any way I can claim compensation for this, d'you think?

I have not witnessed today's particular kind of weather before.
First of all I said "Phew, it's raining and not snowing. While it's wet it's not icy."
How wrong I was. Nana's front door is a sheet of ice. My street is a death trap. As it lands, it freezes. Worst of all, you can't see it like you can see snow. it is perfectly clear and polished. What a crock.
Why is it freezing on contact, yet it's still liquid in the air? Why isn't the cunt identifying itself by being snow or hail??

She phones me:
"Girl. Do not go out. If you have to go out put your spikes on. God bless us the front door is a sheet of ice and a man just fell over. I only went to buy the Echo and I felt safe because it was raining, but it's turning to ice. Can you see any wheelie bins where you are? They've got ICICLES on them. Stay at home."

I've basicly made my own version of what Rachal Allen did on the telly this morning, the kofta kababs.
Kofta Kababs - Lamb Mince, Croyanda, garlic, chili, tumeric, motza meal (a jewish grain), diced onion, an egg.
Sauce: Roasted oboejeans, yoghurt and tahini, roasted garlic.
Onions: Done on the slicer-grator so they're so thin they're transparent, and soaking in lemon juice. Seriously, I could eat a bowel of this, so nice.

In a pitta bread, with chopped raw chili on top of the the koftas, and some mint salad. And on the side, a fruity cuscus.

(, Sat 4 Feb 2012, 18:51, Reply)
All the individual bits are well lush, when I did the kofta before I fried off a tiny ball to check the seasoning.
With the yoghurty sauce though, I made it before, but it tasted rank, I put in garlic salt instead of garlic and used too much. So I ran out to waitrose to get the ingredients I ran out off and re-made it, and this time I used that "Very lazy garlic" stuff (didn't have any first time 'round), and it's fucking win.

I think this might even be dinner-party worthy of a recipy.

Oh ace, just one step at a time, you can very quickly turn it into something you enjoy doing and it no longer looks like a chore.
Creating something out of nothing, instead of thinking focal lengths and appritchures, you think in flavours and textures.
