Myself sick
due to a large amount of chilli crisps during a depressingly long 9 hour shift tied to a desk with a crap computer and a headset forcibly tied to my neck listening to other people drone on about their holidays when I haven't even managed one in the last 2 years *sigh*

I'll be making crispy duck later.
Man, I'm so excited I could shit.

A mess
I started to rearrange my room, but I got bored and now it looks even more of a shit tip than it did before I started. Ho hum. Cupcakes sound nomtastic - I may venture out for dairy milk later.

Orange and lemon cheesecake
Tabbouleh, and bolognese sauce.

In that order. To be consumed in a different order.

Oh,
that sounds good. How did you do the beans?
( @RBFesquire Good luck b3ta, was nice knowing you. So long., Sun 20 Sep 2009, 17:27, Reply)

first take one onion...
chop very finely.
do likewise with smoked streaky bacon, only sliced not chopped and fairly fine not very.
fry both together in a little butter until getting coloured to your taste.
to this we add 3 teaspoon-ish sized blobs of Sambal Manis (an extremely good Indonesian chilli paste) or you could use Harissa (North African/Middle Eastern) or curry paste or whatever you fancy. fry for a wee minute, not too hot.
then a nice big slosh (4 or 5 tablespoons?) of decent vinegar. i use a mix of (fairly cheap and a bit sharp) sherry vinegar and (pretty damned good and very lovely) balsamic vinegar. turning the gas down, i add the sherry vinegar which cools the pan as it boils off, then once i have given the pan (oval cast-iron enamaled casserole) a good rub-a-dub-dub with the wooden spoon (to disolve all the tastey burnt-on bits) i add a wee glug of red wine, whack the heat back up to 11 to boil off t'alcohol whilst i chop up maybe 16 or so wee cherry tomatoes which i fire in the pan a few at a time as i chop them. the large wooden chopping board is a fucking mess, knives and spoons and peelings scraped to the edge out of the way.
cook the toms for as long as it takes to drain (and rinse, unless you want the dish to be way too salty---remember the bacon?) 2 tins of haricot or borlotti or canelini or butter beans. or chickpeas!
a decent glug of the nice balsamic goes in rightabout now.
whack in the beans and cook for as long as you have on as low a heat as you have.
tonight we had that along with 2 sausages-grilled, 2 black pudding-grilled, 1 egg-fried, big pile of mushrooms-fried, wee pile of fried leftover potatoes with scallions and butter.
washed down with a mahoosive glass of shiraz.
and now i feel sleepy.
well there's a surprise!
;-)

Made music with my band
to a pub without about 8 people in it. including my gf and our drummer's wife. and the bar staff.

Still good fun though, and we tried out a few new songs which was good.

Surprising the GF for our 2 year anniversary (and her longest relationship so far)

I made
a loaf of rye and caraway bread, a heap of grass cuttings, a pile of wet washing, a FOR SALE sign for my car, a semi-organised box of paperwork, waffles, sausages and beans, three cups of tea, and some nice smells.

I made lots of funny noises
It would seem that it's just what I do when I go to a football match. We won!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 20 Sep 2009, 18:53, Reply)

Only by 3 though
Not that convincing a win.

Haha
Shut it. I had a lovely pie at half time as well. All-in-all a good day.

I wish I'd gone up to the Boro match now
Bit of a trek, but it would have been worth it.

I don't normally go
But we got our tickets really cheap, so I thought "Oh why not?" and I loved it.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 20 Sep 2009, 19:43, Reply)

I have made a fucking mess
Today I sanded down the new mantle piece until I ran out of paper - only a wee bit more to go and planed a few mil off a door and re hung it, then mounted new door handles.

I feel quite justified in having a few beers.

Ooh, gnom gnom
See what I did there...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 20 Sep 2009, 20:09, Reply)

indeed
very clever indeed.

And a very tasty meal it was too. A little parmesan on top, sauce mixed with soy and a little tabasco, and a half baguette on the side. Mmmm

A whole leg of lamb marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil and mint.
Truly awesome.
