Butti's Journey: A matter of loaf and death
Comments

Colleague today has been saying I can smell garlic.....can you not smell garlic? I suspect I am sweating it but I can't smell it.
Or she's a vampire suffering from PTSD after an unfortunate incident at a BBQ involving a steak...Last nights food was great. I did a lentil and veg soup;
2 carrots,
2 sticks celery
1 big pour of red lentils
1 stock cube - veg, and water
1 onion or leek
and added garlic pilau rice from the curry meal and about 2 inches of ginger.
Tasted great....comforting but with a real kick to it.
Two inches of ginger would kick me too...Lets revise that Christmas to a bag of tangerines and some walnuts
This a big step up from used coal...Wish me luck for tomorrow. I'm going to the opening of a scheme outside on top of a hill in the middle of the country and I've still got a cold!. What happened to the good ole days when you used to wear a hat for these events!!!
Good luck!
Don't forget your hat!

It was normal for the 70's - that's the problem.skint_spice wrote: »My mother hated me!
No, it was merely that she was part of the generation that hated taste and loved the electric feeling that only pure nylon can give you.I have a nice picture where I'm clashing with a orange brown carpet!
I hope it was more than a clash - a fight to the death is called for..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
