FRIDAY FOOD: other websites
Being rather busy today, and not having eaten anything wonderful recently, I thought I would share with you a couple of food websites.
The first is Chocolate & Zucchini, a blog written by Clotilde, who lives in Paris. She shares all things food related – recipes, cookbook acquisitions, restaurant experiences, ideas, and inspirations.
The second [...]
MONDAY JOKE: Free haircut
One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning [...]
Will Bristol get a second premiership team?
Bristol already has one premiership team, Bristol Rugby.
On Saturday, Bristol City are off to Wembley to play Hull in the final of the play-offs for promotion to the football premiership.
Bristol City were only promoted last year, can they make promotion two years in a row?
I don’t really follow football, but I would like to see [...]
FRIDAY FOOD: Sausages
I have found a wonderful place to buy sausages and pork straight off the farm.
Cherry Lodge in Iron Acton, specialise in Gloucester old spot pigs. As you drive into the farm, you can see the pigs, chickens, ducks and now lambs and sheep in the fields. The animals are free range – especially [...]
MONDAY JOKE
Thanks to Keith for this one.
Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating St Patrick’s Day.
Mick, the bartender says, ‘You’ll not be drinking any more tonight Paddy.
Paddy replies, ‘OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then.’
Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls [...]
FRIDAY FOOD: Indian
A couple of months ago we went to an Indian restaurant with a bit of a difference. Ganesha claim to serve authentic southern Indian food rather than the standard Anglo-Indian food that you find in most Indian restaurants. I haven’t been to India so I can tell if it is true or not, [...]
Sending large files
I took a lot of photos over the weekend, and I have been looking for a way to get the orginal files to everybody, so they can keep, print, look etc at them.
I didn’t want to email them, as even the zip file would be quite big. I didn’t want to have to send [...]
New Photos now on-line
The photos from the weekend are now on-line.
You will have to login to be able to see the Photo Album link at the top of the page.
MONDAY JOKE: Bad Day?
Think you are having a bad day?
A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors.
His wife, hearing the [...]
FRIDAY FOOD: A Vegi Option
This is a bit of a different Friday Food as I haven’t really got a recipe for this. I’m planning on cooking this over the weekend, so I will find out if this version works.
It is an adaptation of a Rick Stein recipe off one of his TV shows, so no accurate quantities.
Vegetarian leek [...]
