Nice! Charlotte your Pate a Choux cream puffs just got a little sweeter. Monday may have been manic — but Sunday is going to be sweet. I can’t wait.

Oh my… comfort food comes in the form of take-out egg-white fried rice with shrimps, dried scallops and Chinese broccoli. Can’t get enough of it and it goes mighty fast.

It’s all over bar the pouting.

I found myself contemplating life as a dog in bed last night. My kids’ dog has two meals a day consisting of a handful of crunchy, foul-smelling morsels along with a spoonful of something wet and slimy from a sachet kept in the fridge. Far from devouring her food with any kind of relish or enthusiasm, there appears to be a reluctant acceptance that this is her lot. “Oh well”, I hear her whimper each time she approaches her bowl. “Same old, same old.” And who can blame her. Can you imagine eating the same thing at every meal? Little wonder she jumps up at the table when we are tucking into something delicious and different. Someone should start a business delivering tasty meals for dogs to your home. Don’t think me barking mad: after all, why should a dog’s life be… well… a dog’s life!

I love a woman that smells of beer.

Shepherd’s pie with corn… now there’s a thing.

fried salty mushrooms covered with flour for lunch today. i like it, easy to prepare, and such a nice match for chili sauce.

I tried talking to my food but it didn’t answer back.
