Yeah they were great though a little bit more food there than was strictly needed. In fact we'd have probably been ok just with tortillas with hindsight.
The chicken seasoning we used was Schwarz fajita seasoning, not old el paso. It was nice though, tasty. Could have done with a little more salsa though.

After a rather unpleasant (but retrospectively pretty amusing) cigarette lighter related incident at the weekend, I am now forced to wear my hair in the style of Johnny Dean of Menswear fame.
Breathe deeper.... daydreamer!
WARNING: Don't buy pound shop lighters unless you're prepared to carefully test each one before use.

Excitingly, I’m going to have to prepare my own dinner for the next two days as my parents have gone off to Bournemouth.
So, any more suggestions? Maybe something a little healthier today. Suitable for one person, as tonight I will be dining alone.

Get an aubergine, two big tomatoes, some feta cheese and some basil.
Cut the aubergine into slices about 1cm thick, sprinkle with salt and leave out for a bit. (half hour or so). Then grill or griddle on both sides for a few minutes.
Then... slice the tomatoes also into 1cm slices.
Put a slice of aubergine down, then a slice of tomato, then some feta, then some basil and olive oil, then repeate aubergine, tomato, feta, basil, oil.
(I stack these up in silver rings to keep them upright but you don't have to).
Whack them in the oven for about 20 minutes. Lovely.

I've got a jacket spud for lunch, filled with tuna, boursin, cheddar, beans and a fair bit of black pepper. I want to eat it now, but if I do I'll be hungry again by 3ish and that'll result in me buying crisps and shit from the trolley lady. I really don't want that to happen, therefore I'm simply going to pretend that the spud isn't there. It's not working though. The complete and utter **** .

I've been at work for 4 1/2 hours already and haven't eaten anything yet. I might nip to Forfars and get a Chicken and Mushroom pasty or a cheese and bacon savoury.

I'm currently munching a handful of toasted chilli and lemon flavour sweetcorn kernels, bought in a big bag from the Indian food section of the local hypermart. They're surprisingly fierce.

I wouldn't mind doing something with goat's cheese and butternut squash. Always a winning combination there. Grilled on something, perhaps.

Now I'm chomping on a fruit-flavoured chewing gum to get rid of the resulting mouth ming.

It's in the 'fridge ready for microwaving. There'll be no cold beans in there, I promise. They'll all be burst and smouldering when I've finished with them.

Hope there are no low bridges ahead. It'd be pretty tricky clambering back through the window, especially with your mobile in hand.

It is on days like today, gazing out of the office window at the sunshine when I wish I was crouched behind a gnargled bush on a picturesque Cheshire mere, cane rod in hand, watching the fizzing bubbles of a carp as they stream gradually towards the area of the lakebed containing my fat, juicy lobworm.
Waiting for the float to tremor; for the moment that it lays flat on the surface, as though a previous disagreement with gravity has finally sealed its fate, confirming a 'take'. Waiting for the inevitable commotion that follows, causing all serenity to cease momentarily as the carp strives to find sanctuary in the nearest underwater snag. The grating of the line against an unseen obstacle. The lurch of the rod as the carp exerts its full force. The dreaded 'PING!' as the hook frees itself and becomes embedded in an overhead bush, resulting in several minutes of humiliation as you attempt to entice your vengeful tackle from above; twisting, pulling, more twisting, then one final heave - with all your might - as the tackle, along with a huge mass of wasps and entwined branches rain upon you causing several facial lacerations and a punctured eyeball.
