cheers t-p. i'll probably be alright if mahler or bruckner comes along, but when composers such as stamitz or cpe bach come up... it'll be guesswork! even worse there is very little information on these, and also very few recordings...

oh well... soon be over

that picture is of a stone, isn't it? looks very well done. either a stone or a rather shiny chocolate raisin...mmmm....

Hope your exam/will go fine dude.  I hope never to have to do another one in my life; I was really happy to be finished up with them last year.  Happy happy happy.  Grin  This isn't idle gloating; I need to remind myself that I presently have really no reason whatsoever for being as grumpy as I am this morning.

Oh wait, I sort of do.

I bought a lentil salad on my way in to college this morning.  I've been eating it for the past hour and a half.  Bah...hate lentils...grrrr; I made a mega-foolish and easily avoidable mistake.

I love lentils. It is easy to cook them because they are ready very quickly (unlike dry peas).
May be your lentils were old left overs from yesterday.
I am sorry your lentils were not good. Lentils are good for you usually.

The salad also contains celery, scallions and onion, that really make it smell of socks mashed up with damp cardboard...(still haven't finished, but am promising myself a Clementine when I have!).

A good thick lentil soup is one of the most soothing comfort foods of all: slightly spiced with ground cumin, coriander and turmeric, and served with a dollop of crème fraîche and ripped fresh lovage leaves: simple yet wondrous.

Yeah; I can enjoy a bowl of good lentil soup...but not...lots and lots of lentils as a focus or in salad, that sort of thing, really...

Speaking of lentils ..... I have a pot of dahl burbling away on the stove into which will be hurled at the last minute some cumin, cayenne, ground and fresh coriander. Heavenly smell! And taste Smiley

Mort,
Lynn sometimes makes dahl with chick peas and it's lovely!
The recipe comes from Rose Elliot's "The Bean Book" - Lynn says she's the best vegetarian cookbook writer around (this should really be on the happy thread, methinks!)  Wink

Best regards,

I've got that book, and I'm not even a vegetarian!

Jonathan, chick peas, love `em!  There`s great recipe in Madhur Jaffrey`s first book for hot and sour chickpeas. Fabulous! Especially with onion raitha. Swoon. Smiley

Grrr; my sister had a fantastic falafel recipe, but I lost it.  And she lost it.  And I weep now to think of it.

GROWL !!!!!

BT phone bill arrived today: 260 quid!!!  Turns out amorous 16-year-old son has been calling his girlfriend on her mobile endlessly.  And here's us thinking he was calling her cheap rate on the land line...

Big trouble...

That's bad, Flay. We had a similar problem, though not to that extent. The miscreant was required to pay back the funds over a period of time. It seemed to make the point.
