What I wrote recently
b3ta.com/questions/beautifulmoments2/post818034

Several people have suggested that Mrs Lardy and I write our story. We've thought about it, but aren't really sure that we'd be able to make it that good, although it's got everything you could want; one of us having a fairly dull existance, the other having a rotten time of it, then our chance meeting, whirlwind romance and what should have been a happy ending, which actually turned out to be cancer, then family tragedy, trials and tribulations, stinking divorce and lots of arguments, before finally getting our happy ending.

Just writing a few paragraphs seems like so much hard work and going over what were some fairly miserable times doesn't seem like it would be that much fun.

What about smooth Dijon mustard.
It's lovely.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 17:08, Reply)
It is.
But it's more like German mustard than most French. I do like 'La Favorite' as a French brand.
MmmmmmMMMMm

From my local farm shop.

A whole chapter?

OK, a paragraph.
but the shop is worth a chapter. I raided it on saturday to fill my new freezer. My kitchen looked like Dennis Nilsen's bathroom for a while.

I bought some posh saussages from Marks on saturday.
I put them on a bed of onions in a ceramic dish, and put some blacksticks blue cheese on top.

The dish was 3/4 full of fat after an hour of cooking, I couldn't believe it, I poured out the fat and put it in some ciabatta, but the thought of all that fat, putting that inside me, made me feel well sick, and I couldn't get past more than 3 bites of the stuff. I couldn't even see the onions through the fat.

I'm not going to buy supermarket saussages again, rank.

Be more selective
The Black Farmer and Porkinsons are good brands, and not too fatty.

Porkinsons are especially nice, I think.
Their seasoning is superb.

I would have thought Marks'n'Sparks ones, their 'finest' or whatever it's called 'pork saussages' would have been good.

I picked up some nice serloin stakes and some black bacon from the butchers, I can't wait to get my cooking around them, I think I'm gonna do a carbonara.

This is my one....
-------- BOOK ONE ---------

There is an old man and a young writer in a bar in the middle of nowhere, a right dive of a bar, but it's not bassed in a forrest, I don't get films and books based in forrests. The old man tells stories to this young writer, all sorts of amazing tales of when he was young, stories involving magnificent acts, extraordanry words that people think are 'magic', but he tells the writter how he does it. Things like how he ran a soup-kitchen for the homeless, and managed to feed 100s on just a few chickens and a few carrots. Stories of how he managed to walked across a river to save someone, but it was low tide so his feat could touch the water. Stuff like that.

The writer plagurises these stories, it becomes a best seller, cultish like behavour, akin to Twilight fans or harry potter, come to him. He makes millions and before long everyone knows this man's stories, how these magical things were just normal acts with good timing or situations. He's a bit of an arrogent cock about it, the writter.

-------- BOOK 2 -----------

Debates start rising about this ordanary fellow, who can do things like David Blane or David Copperfield. They compare him to a modern-day jesus, and debate happens along the lines of "Well, if this guy could do this/that/other, maybe jesus was just an illusionest too?".

---------- Book 3 -------------

Religion has fallen, and although there is chaos in some respects, there is a new age of reasoning in the religious parts of the [current] world, and quality of life improves for a lot of these people, but without the religion, there are people who lose fear of god, who do horrible acts because of it, they figure because there is no hell, they can do what they want. On the other hand, things such as homosexuality and fround-apon-by-religion-acts-which-aren't-that-bad become fine.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 16:48, Reply)
Or, slightly differently, same idea of a writer and old man.
But the old man's stories are the bible told from "the devil"'s point of view, that the bad things that have happened in it, such as the judus outting of jesus, that it Judus's family was at risk if he didn't. Things like the phairos mentioned in the bible who enslaved the jews, that the guy was perpetuating generations of abuse handed down from father-to-son, and that really they should be pitted rather than thought of as evil.

... and that leads onto the religious debate, "The Third Testiment", and a new age for mankind.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 16:52, Reply)
Or ignore the old man and writter thing, and just tell the bible from 'the devils' point of view, only in modern time.
"Every trillogy needs a third book", would be the tag-line.
