Small Thoughts

1/ Two new things I've cooked thanks to Over There. I enjoyed both, however I think the only thing I may redo is the mushroom sauce - However I think I will add some tomato paste and possibly flame some brandy with it.

2. I know it is the start of catholic burning season, but how much money do the people opposite me have? half an hour of fireworks, and not little ones either!

3) Off to Madrid on Monday, looking forward to it, hoping that I manage to get enough time to see the city, as I'm staying in the city centre it should be OK.

4 - The weather has turned cold, I'm happy! I lvoe the shock of stepping out into a crisp morning, it really makes me feel alive.

5\ I am fed up with the Biggest Loser, half an hours TV stretched to 1 hour 23 minutes of show. Although I would have liked more of what they ate on the eat out week.

6. The sound on my TV seems to have gone, wish I hadn't bought a huge widescreen TV, it is going to be interesting getting it out of the flatlet!

7) Think I had the flu t'other week, still feeling a little rough but oh so much better than I was!

8/ Maybe I need to work out how to use my slow cooker.

9\ Purchased some salmon fillets stuffed with crab mousse from M&S, pricy, but very nice.

10. No evening course this year all of the ones I wanted to do were cancelled due to lack of people, ah well, maybe next year!

11) Two bizarre language things - The US pronunciation of buoy (UK - Boy, US Boo-ee), and the US spelling of blue cheese (bleu)

  1. There's some that add not only tomatoe to the sauce but bacon too. I love bacon just not on my schnitzel.

    You'd think we USians would be the one to spell it blue and you UKians would fancy it all up. *grin

    BL makes me glad I can fast forward thru all the recrap stuff!

    Glad you're feeling better and hope you're enjoying OTCC as much as I am!

  2. Hiya SS! How's life? Sounds like you are doing pretty well. Have you ever been to Madrid before? You'll love it there. Going for work, are you? How is your weight loss coming along? I am sorry I've been out of the loop lately. But it's always good to check in! Be well, my friend! Scarlett
