Shame you're so far away then xxx

M'mother trained in a professional kitchen. And she taught me how to cook.

My mum is the daughter of lifelong farmers so grew up with a rustic but fantastic grounding traditional cooking practices and making the best from what was available. Through her life her tastes led her to become more experimental, exotic and can pretty much execute any dish with aplomb.

My mum is the daughter of lifelong farmers so grew up with a rustic but fantastic grounding traditional cooking practices and making the best from what was available. Through her life her tastes led her to become more experimental, exotic and can pretty much execute any dish with aplomb.

Mum taught me all the basics - and instilled in me a real passion for food. She got me doing stuff as soon as I was old enough to hold a wooden spoon and stir a bowl of batter.

My repertoire is pretty broad, and I'm equally happy cooking classic stuff as I am Italian or Mexican, Asian or whatever. Plus, what with the yellow stickering (something else she and dad taught me about while growing up) I often end up cooking with what I can get, which is always fun. It gives me the incentive to try new things.

There are no rules in cooking, I like that.

There are no rules in cooking......

Thanks so much for the kind invitation, but I'm afraid we're busy that night. And those others too......All of them. Any of them.

And I had the pans'a'rattlin.

And I was looking at the contents of my fridge and thinking of you @MikeG . There are some very fine things in my fridge. And in my freezer.

There's a bus driver lost, or someone has borrowed one, a bus, to get home.

A left turn into a park(open ground) and the gates are locked. How they get it out will be interesting. Road it came down is just wide enough to take a bus. Driver had already turned off the normal route to end up where he did.

Morning. Schrodie was making me worried this morning. He wasn't climbing up the door to greet me when I went down , he didn't even come running when I whistled out the back door. I can rest now as he eventually turned up. I heard the familiar rattle of the cat flap when I was making the drinks and we had a good cuddle. Phew!

 

[Illaveago]

Why is it that cat's have no fear of walking along the top of a fence or hanging precariously out of a bedroom window, yet find it unnerving to walk across a soft bed?

 

[MikeG]

Because they know that they shouldn't be in the bedroom.

Because they know that the capricious monster that occupies the bed will throw them across the room if they do something wrong.

You're mistaking fear for stealth. They're trying to chew your throat out before you notice them.

Not a bad morning, Naproxen seems to be absorbing nicely as my sore elbow seems far better.
Think its done some good on my little toe too..

 

[classic33]

Just wondering what needed moving to get the required room.
