Food, Books And Telly

Today Sassy and I took advantage of the ‘Pensioners Perks’ offer at the local *French place, The Kitch ‘n D’or.
A two course lunch for a fiver!
I had baked goat’s cheese with honey to start and a pasta dish.
If we had just stuck to that and drunk the free water it would have been £5.
Two Gins and Tonic, a couple of glasses of wine, a Port, a Brandy and a brace of coffees got the bill up to £29; which is still pretty reasonable.

I got my first ever delivery from www.bookdepository.co.uk today.
It turned up when they said, there were no delivery charges and the book was cheaper than Amazon.
Result.
Good tip Schnee.
This is what I am half way through.
I haven’t learnt anything new but she does pull all the research together and it’s easy to read.

Right, adverts.
Why do people who make their own sauces, that penis Loyd Grossman for example, get the shit out of a jar when they are advertising it?
Surely, if it is their ‘very own recipe’, they’d get it out of a pan bubbling away on their fucking cooker!

The last ever Boston Legal was shown tonight and it was blinding.
Brought a tear to my eye so it did.
Denny and Alan have become part of the family!
I’m really going to miss them.

*It’s owned by an Englishman and the chef is Chinese.
It would seem that having pictures of the Dordogne and signs in Froggish makes it ‘French’.

why is the Gay History of Britain more expensive than the Lesbian History of Britain....does it have something to do with being written by 'H.G.Cocks'?

£29 sounds like a bloody bargain!

Schnee.. Lock 'n Load!

Richard.. Hehehe! Yep, you're paying for the name!

That's a very good point about the chefs in the adverts getting their own sauces from jars. I think you're on to something, there, Sleepy. Lloyd Grossman, you are so busted! (It serves him right for talking in that annoying funny voice.)

Sleepy said...

Leigh.. He drives me mental! Choose one accent and stick with it!

baked goat’s cheese with honey? That sounds amazing...what do you have it with? On bread?

Sleepy said...

SCW.. Yes, a piece of French Stick and served with salad.
Very simple, very tasty.
