Cottage Pie tonight at Le Maison Martle, with leftover Welsh lamb, no less, look you, from the weekend. Plus some kale-like greens, as it happens, but I think boiled lightly rather than subjected to the spice-frenzy referred to in a few posts above. Not that I'd be averse some other time, mind...  |

Honestly! Cats! Bear with me here, I`m not completely off-topic  After having carefully tended my longed for chilli today and enjoying the wonderful wafts coming from the kitchen, I realised that one of the cats had decided to do an Escape from Colditz act. Despite hours of calling, rattling the cat biscuit box and clattering cat bowls, zilch. No sign of him. Eventually I had to close the kitchen door when it got pitch black to stop the other cat, who was getting fretful, from going out to mount a rescue act. There followed much Mort moping and total loss of appetite. Then I remembered I hadn`t switched the chilli off. SHRIEK ! Rushed to turn it off, opened kitchen door and tried calling again. Cue rustling in the bushes, nonchalant appearance of moggy who then proceeded to hoover up his food. While I was rejoicing in the kitchen he also hoovered up my creme fraiche with chopped chives that was meant to go with my chilli! Cats! I ask you .... I finally got to eat the chilli. It was great! So was the creme fraiche. Apparently. |

He told you that, did he, Mort? I bet he was lying. These cats. Experts in Schadenfreude. And there was my 'A'-level philosophy teacher telling us that all a cat needs to be happy is a warm fire and a rug ... |

Went to a posh restaurant last night to celebrate someone's birfday. Starter: some warm beetroot and goats' cheese thing, was a bit, well, GROSS.
(everything else was ok, though not really 'worth' it).

warm beetroot and goats' cheese GAH! Neither of these is fit for human consumption in my humble opinion. |

I am having cornflakes with Anton Bruckner.
He doesn't like them, and keeps talking about his big organs. Tonight it's tea with Sibelus.

You should see what he's like when he gets together with Reger at the health-spa; no sooner have they got into the jacuzzi than they're at it. |

Just the smell was enough to make me turn green, but I seem to have grown into it now. I like a decent goat but I wouldn`t want them together. Actually, now I think about it, bleeeetch! |
