I'd love watching cows if I had them as neighbours! I watch the cat politics, I watch which dogs get taken out for walks, I know where the sparrows nest and that they've started coming to my hazel tree, and they love it so much they look like a gust of wind just going to pop over to your blog now

Well done on the thesis. Only 5000 words to get rid of? I am sure you will get there.

Off to read about the cows.

Hey up

LT it is like the chinese one, I'll think about what I do then write it for you - I've been making it since 1992 as the island we lived on had no chinese - so I ended up learning! I started with an m and s chinese cook book from my mum and I've kinda tweaked it since

Cheri hello I have a very lovely parcel from you today!!! My word you lot are very kind - thank you - I'll do you a card once I've done thesis!

I've changed tea plan

have gnocci, asparagus (my only real treat when in season I love it) and a poached egg

nom nom nom



Back in a tick!

Thank you for the kind words - I may take you up on your offers! xx

Pippi's yummy prawn toasty goodness

1 cup small prawns (a large handful) I'll weigh them - ?
One egg white
I/2 half teaspoon corn flour
Tiny sloppy dash soy
Oodles seasame seeds
White very bad for you bread
Oil, olive, quite good for you, unless you drink it (don't drink it)


Mish prawns with a fork or if revolting like me - squish them in between VERY clean hands (important they arent' muddy) until they are a bit squishimified but not pureed

Mix together with one egg white and all other ingredients EXCEPT sesame seeds


White bread - cover one side with about 1/2cm thick of this paste right upto edges put it on a plate

On a plate then sprinkle liberal amount of seasame seeds to cover all the prawn goop pat lightly to make sure they are all stuck


Then in a frying pan or crepe pan - heat with a little oil quite hot

Place the bread and goop and seeds quickly goop/seed side down and let it cook for a minute or two

Carefully use a fish slice and turn over - may need more oil at this point depending on how much in pan - you want to sligthly toast it -

Flip over again and make sure eggy/prawny goop cooked should look golden and yummy

Turn onto a wooden board - toasted bread side down - prawny goodness side up


sharp knife cut into four.


Eat in kitchen alone - no one deserves to share it!!!!


You can deep fry it and its more like a chinese resaurant - but I prefer the slightly healthier version.

I'm also up for the challenge of proof-reading for spelling/grammar cutting out words if you want another set of eyes Pip. Love reading things, even when I don't understand a flipping word cos they're all so clever

Thank you!

I'm not very clever - basic story is this - trees don't grow as big here cos of the wind.
Therefore we do alot of things a bit differently to the mainland (which isn't so windy) which might help them to get a bit cosier.

Then it helps them grow.

Job done!:rotfl:

BTW still light here - getting twilightly but light.
