Oooh, yes please Mort! No immediate hurry, though - I won't be doing anything of an adventurous culinary nature until after the Proms...

Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

We all know that it's Anna who keeps the goats. She sends Johannes the goatherd down to Lunnun with one every now and again. Crops the grass a treat. The goat that is. Johannes just sits mournfully under the apple tree and pines for his beloved Welsh valleys  |

Most of my comfort foods are unhealthy. Ginger sponge and custard, bread and butter pudding, mashed potato with lots of butter, sausages, buttered toast with marmalade. I agree about fish pie, wonderful stuff. The trouble is that most comfort foods seem to be fatty. As someone once said, "No-one is ever hungry for salad".
The healthier ones among my favourites are vegetable soup (made by me) and porridge. Do boiled eggs count as healthy now? Probably not, but very comforting.

By their favourite puddings shall ye know them: Sir, – I greatly enjoyed the brilliant review by Hugh Wood of the fourth volume of Henry-Louis de La Grange’s biography of Gustav Mahler (August 1). Mahler’s favourite dessert, however, was Marillenknödel (with an “e” not an “o”), as marillen are apricots in German. I look forward to comparing the recipe in the thirty-third appendix of de La Grange’s book with mine from the 1952 edition of Wiener Kuche by O. and A. Hess.

69 Holland Park, London W11. From this week's TLS. And here's what they look like.  According to Donald Macleod this morning both Bruckner and Brahms were dumpling men too and indeed made their peace over them. If we add in our very own Martle who has admitted he would do almost anything for a good dumpling, I think we have the makings of a rich new musicological vein to mine here. |

Tonight is a bit of an hh staple (no... not that kind of staple).
Pasta sauce made from reduced tomatoes, with pine nuts, capers, mushrooms, lentils and anchovies. If I had a hard goat's cheese, I'd grate some over the top. But I don't. So I won't.

I am back.
From shopping, that is. With a jar of cornichons. And this time nobody is going to take them away. (I did finish my accounts, since you ask, though in the end the job took four full days and I still have to print some things out. Now I can look forward to some unpayable bills.)
Now where is that jar?

I had a nice lunch today. Roasted Mediterranean vegetables and caramalised onions with goats cheese in a wrap. NOM.
hh' pasta sounds good though. Love anchovies. Hate dumplings. But I too have the obligatory jar of cornichons!

It is good but I can't eat any more. I don't know what's happening to my appetite. Some days I can eat for the UK, other days I seem to just manage a little bit and then I can't face any more. Maybe it's a time thing. After choir practice I may well be ravenous again... |

Here's a hard goat for you, hh - now you've just got to milk it and make the cheese:  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

As predicted, I'm hungry so reheating it to accompany a small shot of Highland Park and then to bed. For tomorrow I have to be on the CLEARING HOTLINE!!! My excitement is barely contained. I made hh's lentil and potato dish tonight. It was delicious, and so easy to make.
Gosh. Glad you liked it. |

And now some summer pudding.
And then maybe some cheese with oatcakes.
And maybe a banana.

I am a TWIT!  I decided that spag bol might be nice this evening and my taste buds got very enthusiastic about the idea. Chopped the onions, garlic etc. Whoops, haven't defrosted the mince. <Sound of freezer door opening. Stunned silence> No mince. NO MINCE?! I would have sworn there was some mince in there. Actually I did swear. Just a little bit. Ah well, spaghetti not-bolognese it is then. Twit. |
