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!
Life is a bowl of mashed potato:
Sometimes lumpy; sometimes smooth and creamy;
and sometimes it has interesting bits in it!
:-)
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
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?

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.
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? ;-)
Have a great day!
Peace..............
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.
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)
