Sounds like full on 'Man-flu'
The only cure is plenty of Whisky and your feet up for a week.

Lovely (easy) supper tonight. Ham & mushroom omelette (had some chanterelles that needed using), chips and shredded pickled beetroot.
Fasting day today. There's 2kg of mince pies and christmas cake to shift, so Tuesday and Friday for the next 3 or 4 weeks. Ooooh, but just say "shredded pickled beetroot" again............. I could murder some with a lump of decent cheddar, some fresh homemade bread and some butter. Stop, Mike, stop........

Shredded pickled beetroot.
Who said anything about stopping - if you keep heading due northwest, I have some very nice cheddar in the fridge. Actually, never mind the cheddar, I could put together a very nice cheese board as it is. I also have rye bread, olives, serrano ham, home made gingered plum chutney...

When we went to Hardwick Hall for the club Christmas ride, one of the kids had a chocolate and beetroot cake which I’d never heard of before then. Apparently, there wasn’t much chocolate or beetroot in it as it was mostly dry sponge, but the idea of a homemade version intrigues me, I wouldn’t mind tasting some (and I don’t eat cake normally). I’m a rubbish cook and baking is far beyond my simply culinary skills so I asked the master bakers chez nous (wife and daughter - yes, my 7-year-old can bake a thousand times better than me!) and they will try it once I’ve grown some beetroot.
Anyone here tried chocolate and beetroot cake?

I'll put the kettle on.
Oh, I also have a side of home-cured gravadlax
And horseradish cream.
If you eat all the shredded pickled beetrooot it'll take you a damn site longer to get home if I catch you!

I'll quite agree with that. Red cabbage needs to be braised with red wine, spices and a generous curl of orange zest.
