Strange fruit hanging in the garden of a Chinese lady from Jiangsu province, which augured well for our inaugural liaison
She gave me my first taste of Goji (aka Wolfberry), which is a kind of Chinese berry tea
Spic and span would be the measure of the cleanliness and natural order of her capacious abode
She rustled up a curious fusion mix of pizza, chips and Chinese stir fry so I was able to dazzle her with my chopstick ninja moves
Healthy fruit and nuts for digestiv nibbles
Her tiny elderly parents live in a granny flat at the front of the house but this did not deter her from cranking up the Karaoke to 9.9 on the richter scale once the food had settled
Quite a setup she has installed with kaleidoscopic spinning disco-ball vibes. I think I acquitted myself respectably with a rendition of Pokerface by Lady Gaga and was then allowed a snuggle on the sofa while we watched Jason strutting in The Mechanic Resurrection from 2016
As we were parting she spotted my chain and plucked the lord Jesus from my bosom and admired it. Then when I got home I found that the chain had become enmeshed in a Gordian Knot of biblical proportions. It is an impossibly fine chain as I am too much of a tight-arse to spend on a chunky chain, with Gold now costing more than platinum. It took me about 45 minutes of picking at the Gordian knot with 2 needles to unchain my malady. Moral of the story: Don't let a spooky Chinese woman touch your holy crucifix and put an unGodly Asian black magic voodoo spell on it. I will proceed with haste to the nearest chapel on Sunday to immerse it in the holy waters and restore its magical powers.
It's not the same any more... but a man's gotta eat.
I tend to make up a big meal every three or four days and eat until finished. This roast lamb should last until Thursday at least, although I doubt the potatoes will hold out.
The daughter is coming home next weekend so all her favourites will be making an appearance.
I plan a Friday night steak and chips, a Saturday night quiche with boiled spuds and a Sunday night steak and kidney pie with mash.
All served with a generous portion of peas because I doubt she's had any since the day she left home.
She’s coming home from boarding school and your going to make her feel like she hasn’t left by serving typical British boarding school food?
I would wager there isn't a school in the entire country that has ever served quiche or steak and kidney pie!
Anyway, her requests... I am just complying.
Although I must admit that she didn't mention peas.
^ I bet you're peaed off about that indiscretion Mendy.
^^ she doesn't need to ask, you've brought her up well
Lamb Day 4...
Rissoles to finish it up, and I've even got one left for lunch tomorrow!

Every time I see the word rissoles I thing if tge Not the none o'clock news sketch with the Swede asking for Arzole
^^ was that before or after the dog chewed it?
It's about time to upgrade this thread I think.
Tonight I am cooking up pan-seared tuna with sorteed prawns and mushrooms, with some broccoli... and peas.
And here's one I made earlier...
(I can do this because I am posting while cooking... I had exactly the same meal last night which was so delicious I am replicating it tonight).
The meal would have benefited from some kind of potato, but when cooking on me tod I couldn't be arsed. I tend to eat dinner standing up in the kitchen these days, while watching Sky news on my phone.
And that isn't a 'moan' Cyrille, that's the way I like it.
Dinner looks smashing. But pls don't take sky news seriously
Oh good, it's the Thesaurus twins...![]()
Tbf English isn't our first language
^ Sorry mate, I wasn't including you!
Let me try again...
Oh good, it's the Thesaurus triplets...![]()
^ Noted.
I'll re-arrange my diary accordingly...
And get the gardener to improve his selection...
And it's not 'melted lard'... I'm from the south, it was a dollop of sour cream.
Although to be fair it doesn't taste quite right... I rarely eat this stuff since the daughter left and she's been gone a month.
Despite the usual staples, I must say, Mr Gochujang Dingle, that it looked quite a bit outside his usual comfort zone.
"Sorteed" prawns and seared tuna chez Mendy?!?!?!?!?
Has he had a knock to the head or has Bristol City's "success" (aka Real Madrid) turned him all Mediterranean?
Why not tell the kommandant to take a dessert spoonfull or two of rice from your fukking breakfast?
That should make it more filling.
Oh and don't forget the Gochujang dip...
"The fermented soybeans in gochujang are loaded with gut friendly bacteria to help promote healthy, glowy skin."
Or in your case a healthy shiny coat, you big hairy fucking Worzel![]()
