Taking pictures of food is incredibly difficult even with the correct kit, especially in dimly lit restaurants.

You will always struggle getting it lit correctly without an off camera flash

And that white umbrella is such a giveaway.

Well mrs 5* is in bed poorly. It seems to be norm for her to get ill over christmas. I just hope it doesnt go the way the past couple have gone - i.e paramedics coming out, morphine, ambulance, resus and another dose of pneumonia.

I'm off to the shops to get milk, bread and some gravy for the home made turkey, ham & leek pie.

Have a Zeity

The ZeitLunch is currently cooking.

It's last Sunday's lamb in a hotpot type thing, as made by ZeitMater.

At least I think it's the way she made it if I haven't forgotten sommat.

We'll soon find out.

Aha!

It came back to me.

Cornflower and a spoonful of Marmite(tm).

for Mrs 5*

I know what you mean. The work there is around the East Midlands never seems to be particularly cutting edge, even on the rare occasions that it pays well as opposed to adequately.

Same here. All of the contract work I've managed to land within easy distance of Nottingham (which isn't much!) has been with councils and was quite frankly tedious (plus the last one had a Computer Futures pimp who spent half an hour one day whilst I was on the client site berating me on the phone because I wouldn't let him direct me in writing how many hours a PWD was ).

Most of my contracts have involved travelling to Yorkshire or the West Midlands and beyond - not cracked London yet (and whilst a permie not looking to! )

for you and Mrs Five* - that's a pretty crappy way to spend Christmas.

The pie sounds good though - let us know how it turns out!

Must be doing sommat wrong with the cornflower coz it didn't go gloopy enough.

Other than that, it was ok.

We're all in the wars it seems with either being ill or having poorly relatives or other halves

My first foray into smoked bacon and both myself and the house stink of hickory smoke
