Always thought this vile veggie stuff was vastly overrated.

Quote:

AN inquiry was launched last night into why it has taken more than a week to trace the Ecoli outbreak to the foulest of all vegetables.

As hundreds of innocent cucumbers were dragged behind horses through the streets of Hamburg, beansprouts, the weasels of the vegetable kingdom, watched and cackled from an upstairs window.

But now the tasteless, wind-inducing perverts are on the run after scientists confirmed what everyone had suspected all along.

What to serve for dinner when it's 104 fucking degrees outside? (40°C)

chilled zucchini soup
taramasalata on pita
macaroni with arugula (served at room temp -- i.e., 104 fucking degrees)
cucumber-wakame salad
dessert: grapes

Cocktails: vinho verde while you prepare the meal; martinis right before; off-dry Riesling with meal; Prosecco with dessert; something or other later with the cigar ...

Well, just serve anything, man! Just do it inside, with the air conditioning on. Duh!

Lucky bastards, freezing here & I dot a told.

Edit sorry: About to eat Jalfrezi followed by ice cream.

It's only 97 here, so I'm grilling out.

had a lovely girly time with my daughter yesterday- went for lunch at The Bistro in Devizes and had the Persian Platter - houmous, lavash bread, falafels, baba ganoush, chilli jam, grilled haloumi cheese - NOM NOM NOM!!!

I threw together a cod, cannellini bean, onion & mushroom stew - lightly peppered, washed down with Salopian Golden Thread.
I have the windows open.

Well I'm being spare with the air-con ~~because I'm very conscientious about my carbon footprint~~ because I'm a cheap fuck.

I'm responsible for the lobster bisque, bread, bubbly, and after dinner cigars. (Special guests will be privy to some special additional treats.)

The other guests at the meal have much to be thankful for; anyway they'll have their Phil.

Leek and mushroom soup, hand-cranked pasta, roasted eggplant, rosemary-infused bread (got a terra sigillata loaf pan on Jayzus' birthday), assorted greenery.

Champagne. Not Prosecco or cava or sparkling wine, but Dom Fucking Perignon. (Then Prosecco.)

Nat Sherman's house cigars.

I said 'hand-cranked.'
