Culinary Mahjong perhaps?

That looks like a really complicated futeristic version of dominoes.

You are, of course once again, right d000hg. Black pudding is the way to go!



Here's my version of seared scallops in beurre noisette, with creamed sweet pea shoots, black pudding and homemade cured bacon.

That does look truly beautiful.

I'm crap at cooking, but even more crap at presentation. My tuna mornay is very tasty, but does look like vomit.
Similarly my butternut squash risotto could easily be second hand.

Thank you!

Well any homemade food potentially is better than ready made meals etc

The presentation side of it just brings out the inner artist in me. The real trick is to do to that for 8 covers, that's what I'm working on.

If you're eating white pudding I don't think you can have any right to turn your nose up at anything

Some things are awful

some are normal

some are fckng excellent.


awful things -
my sister in law, aged 50 was diagnosed with a brain tumour. she will be dead before i go on my next holiday.
my grandson stole his sisters mobblie and ran up a 1700 quid debt. so next time i see him i will have to bitch-slap him. because it's not right to punch a 17 year old.

normal things -
contract is going well. i worked 7 months with 1 day off, leading to 30k pure profit. in the bank. now.
missus has slipped nicely into semi retirement. making brilliant hungry caterpiller quilts and knitting
toffee popcorn becoming a legend. produced 3 litres today. with a honey tang.

excellent things -
missus EO became a granny again 5 days ago
Aussie Pink Flloyd were brilliant
Zippy still fancies me
going to SA and Botswana in a few months

Good perspective. Although I did wonder how you knit toffee popcorn.

Porcini and crimini, fried briefly in very good olive oil with garlic and fresh parsley, sprinkle over some parmesan cheese, and wash down with this;

ANTONELLI SAN MARCO


Not awful at all.

Bach's Mattäus Passion's not awful either.

Top one Mich, you gourmet bastard!

People with first world problems, eh?
I'd rather have ennui and boredom than famine, poverty and civil war.

Quite. We can not only feel miserable, but feel guilty about feeling miserable too.
