Incidental Musings on nothing much

Badger -v- Baboon?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Popbitch has covered all angles on that one, steveo.

Dog vs rabbit. The answer seems obvious, and yet I still recall our terrier's grunt of surprise as the rabbit ran between his back legs and head-butted him in the stomach.

What was the conclusion then RPC?

And I've seen some terrifying rabbits

Poor boy struggled to dismount from the rabbit and goggled at it in horror, like a vicar whose hostess has taken off her clothes and sat on his lap. The spaniel, which had put up the rabbit in the first place, was too confused to go near either of them. I was on the ground crying with laughter. The rabbit waited for a moment or two, then sauntered off.

It was Yorkshire rabbit. That may make a difference.

The main ED section seems to be very negative recently - all crimes, criticisms and complaints. I wonder why? With the new cinema, house prices etc the area seems to be moving up another level, so there must be plenty of good stuff going on too surely?

[MrBen]

Saturday: I cooked a meal for house guests with some apparently genuine "I didn't know you were a good cook" type comments.

This is bollocks and just doesn't make sense.

The real plaudits should go to mockney super-brand chef Jamie Oliver as it was his specific recipe and instructions I followed. It was just the step by step assembly of parts, like an Ikea wardrobe, that produced the end result. Surely a trained Chimpanzee could do this? And perhaps truly good cooks are those who can invent their own recipes or cook on the fly?

[MrBen]

I am merely a trained ape.

[Seabag]

Hmm...

I'm considering the sausage right now

Dutch salami to be specific

*looks at clock*

[red devil]

Don't beat yourself up MrB, plenty of people struggle following a recipe...

[MrBen]

Coming up with a recipe...the measures...the blend of flavours - it's like art no?

Most home cooks are an assembly production line.

Unless like Seabag (hipster btw) you are creating with multiple variables....or "live fire cooking".

[Loz]

Depends what you are cooking, MrB. Blends of ingredients is one thing, but timing and technique are all your own. For instance, getting a roast right is quite hard (though now much, much easier with core temp thermometers). And too many people are abysmal at cooking steak.

It's well known that budding chefs are often tested on their ability to cook an omelette... and the recipe for that is pretty short and simple.

[Dopamine1979]

You cooked some food which tasted good and attracted compliments.

You are a good cook.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

MrB does a rare clapshot as well.

[Loz]

In that like a penicillin injection?

[Salsaboy]

No I think he is more of a giver of it.

I like mine well done. Thought that was THE only way to cook it*

Have purchased a screen prodder thingy, as i've developed "screen finger" from my devices

Saw Jay Rayner from behind (clothed) today

Rain is somewhat of a non event in Sydenham

New neighbours move in over the road, so make a polite "hello" as we pass. Note that both are somewhat "dentally challenged"

[Louisa]

Had a minor altercation with a person going for the final item in the fridge at sainsburys. Both our hands reached out for the item. Resolved by diligent staff member waiting to restock with more of the same item.

Milk. I'm a red top girl.
