Shouldn't you rather be using a vac-you-hoon cleaner instead, Mort?

For tea today I'll probably have the 3rd and final portion of the red lentil, green pepper and sprout curry I made at the weekend, it worked very well. And no comments please about no wonder it's been so windy |

Here's one in advance then:
It's not fair! Moderator Sudden swiped my joke! Take off and landing were, well, bouncy; but the main part of the flight was fine. No repetitions of Ron's Monday morning nightmare. Tomorrow it's up bright and early over the Øresund Bridge - spanning high over the Skaggerak - to Sweden. In deference to the vertigo-sufferers here I'll resist the temptation to post a picture. |

First thoughts on Delia Smith’s new cookery series using convenience foods.
The hot smoked salmon pie looked tasty (but personally I would hold the quails eggs) but ready grated parmesan smells like vomit and costs eight times the price of fresh and grated cheddar costs four times as much as non grated. I liked the idea of putting finely chopped leeks on top of the mash of shepherds pie, (t would disguise the taste of the tinned mince.)
She emphasised the frozen mash was 75% potato plus butter and salt.
The tinned mince was 75% beef She did not say about the salt and sugar in the mince (plus the modified corn flour etc.) and it came from Brazil.
These dishes, if you abide by her brands (which she insists on) are incredibly expensive once you add the ready prepared vegetables. Two fresh onions cost 25p, Ready chopped 75p. One fresh carrot costs 12p. Ready chopped leeks at four times the price of fresh? Jars of chillis instead of fresh? The shepherds pie costed out at seven quid!
Those who do not have M&S will pick up a tin of Own Brand Value Tinned Mince for 48p which is probably 50% mince, 20% extruded gubbins and the rest is salt, sugar and water and dodgy additives.
Nigel Slater said at least the recipes keep us stirring and gave a grudging thumbs up as Head Mistress. Well, he had to say that didn’t he?
I shall continue watching but quite honestly, this is going to do nothing for anyone’s health with all the hidden salt and sugar and additives.

In an attempt to show how much time DS has on her hands thanks to using c**p in her cooking, they pad out the 'show' with snatches of her at Norwich Football Club. Miss BBC on Mondays at 8.30. Please bring back University Challenge Tommo |

Thanks for the warning Tommo. Talking of "What's that burning?", I was in the Wellington in the city centre tonight and suddenly there was a very strong smell of burnt toast. Since they don't serve food in the pub, they allow you to bring your own food and even provide plates and cutlery. But why would anyone bring burnt toast to the pub  |
