Hellooooo

This post re-published December 2012

I really was in the kitchen pointing out the food! I was making it up as I went along so I am not sure what else for dinner. We have fresh veg today and fancy the parsnips too.


PS. And this link and post are now dead!

Can we come round for dinner?
Le laquet said...
Woo hoo, can I come too?

I'm sure there could be plenty to go round..... I tell you though, the chops were particularly succulent tonight. They are only doused in soya sauce, ground pepper and dried basil for about 15 minutes and then under a hot grill. And then, turn the grill off and let them stand under there for about 5 minutes. Delish.

And the wacky leeks, garlic and kale worked too. It did for me anyway... I reckon Mr Doris was humouring me and the kids don't even bother but I don't care! Yum yum!

PS word verification = fffuff

Doris! Wow...it's you..

Gosh this technology thing really blows me away!

So...the chops sound nice. Hope you and Mr Doris enjoyed them. And the wine - a big stereophonic slurp!

How did you record that soundfile thingy hon?

I think we all know who's house to crash for a dinner party ;)


You're the only person yet today who sounded like I heard in my head as I read the posts. Being the only one who wasn't nervous (lovely.... measured, even tones) I'm guessing you had to do a fair bit of public speaking at some point or another.

It is a case of phoning the States! I had trouble connecting and then it flaffed me around a bit but when the bug gets you, you just perservere! And it was actually fun.

However, I am stil thinking about the whole "listening to one's own voice" thing. I feel so yucky about my own voice and can't imagine it is how Ella describes. I think I'd like to come back to that in a bit more depth.

Whoppee! Jo has done it too! :-)

Nice to hear you. Are there any left overs? That sip of wine sounded good, what was it?
doris said...
It was just a nice juicy red. Nothing notable - it went down well enough :-)

But no leftovers - even better still!

And if everyone came round then I'd love to cook up a big dinner with all the trimmings. Or maybe a wonderful buffet with all sorts of treats.

For some reason I am not so good on the puddings though I love them. (LOL except for Tiramisu - I can do that one but have not yet done it for visitors.) My real pleasure is cooking vegetables to perfection and I suppose the "boring" but substantial stuff. I like using quality meat and generally putting love into the food. I love it when you can sit back feeling refreshed, satiated and gorgeously full. Not overstuffed though! Any takers? ;-)

Nice! Thanks for posting a audio. It's great to put a voice to a blogger's written words. I used the audioblogger a few times and really liked it. Maybe it's time for another one!
Have a great day!
Peace..............

Badaunt said...
My god, you sound EXACTLY like a dear friend in NZ. (You're not a Kiwi, are you?)

Now, whenever I read your posts I'll be seeing my friend's face... and wondering what the hell she's doing posting on your blog.
Writer Mom said...
This is fantastic!
When video blogger gets up and running, I do hope you'll reprise this post, and remake that delicious meal.
You have a lovely lovely voice...
This just warms me so much.
(I will be back a few times, writing out the recipe)
