I'm only joking about the pestle and mortar! We have a pepper grinder. Your mum is probably handy around the kitchen with the pair of pliers though, right? Felix lost the top of it and you can't turn it without a pair of those.

Well...given that the last house that she lived in (for around 15 years) the kitchen cold tap was one of those clear plastic ones and the plastic bit snapped off, meaning that for around 12 of those years she used a pair of pliers to turn the tap on and off, she'd probably cope, I think.

Today I've had a bowl of Cheerios with a chopped up banana, and two cans of Stella Artois. Maybe we should start a "What Have You Eaten Today" like they have on the girly board TheMockTurtle.

Several glasses of water, and some delicious homemade tuna mayo sandwiches. Not home made by me, of course. When I make my own sandwiches it's always a slice of ham on a slice of cheese between two slices of bread.

Bowl of Porridge. Salad with lettuce, tuna, tomato and olives. 2 cups of forest berries tea. 2 bottles of water. 4 Cigarettes.
N.B. Nathan is not telling the whole truth about his sandwich making. I saw him make a sandwich with Ham and Tomoato once but slicing the tomatos was apparently too much effort so he just put it in the middle and hit it to flatten it down a bit.

I was staying at dedalus's gaff the other day and was flicking through a copy of Tana Ramsay's Family Kitchen. It somewhat over-eggs the pudding with twee imagery of kiddiwinks helping earth mother Tana at the wood-fired range, but the major cause for dismay was that absolutely no recipes involved hubby Gordon's curdled asparagus jus being drizzled over Tana's delicious warm baps.

presumably any tomato that finds its way into his sandwiches these days is now sliced so thin with a space age knife that you could shave with it. The tomato. I mean, you could obviously shave with the knife. What I'm suggesting is that his wife is such a fucking good cook with some super sharp pro-am cooking blades that everything gets sliced really thin. So thin that even a tomato can be 'sharpened'. Geh. Tough crowd. Ragging on Octavia is so early afternoon.

LOL! I'm going to try not to give my Mum a hard time. It's the first time I'll have seen in her in 11 years and I'm already struggling with my inner self.

It might be ok actually. My mum has quite the temper though. As we'll be mostly stuck in the house in the sticks and she's having physical trouble using her arm after the stroke, it might be like a four day vigil in the Big Brother house with Jackiey Budden on morphine.

Mikee, I'll be around most of Sunday (think I'm just seeing my mum for a bit in the afternoon), so if you need to escape, call me, seriously, and you can come to mine or the pub.
Today I've had:
Cup of Tea Toasted ham and egg sandwich M&S Broad Bean & Pea Dipper M&S Vanilla bean & Maple Smoothie
Later I've got Steak, Chips and Pepper Sauce, lots of nice red wine and a posh chocolate mousse to celebrate getting a temp job starting monday (so no more daytime posting for me, damnit).

This thread was a bit much to read in one go. I skimmed over a lot of the shaker/grinder stuff. Does everyone own pepper then? I inherited a tub of table salt left at the back of a cupboard when I moved into the flat, but not sure what I'd need pepper for.
My main problem with cookery wankery is that the intake of energy and nutrients in the form of foodstuffs is the most basic of activities and it really doesn't need to be made into a massive deal.
I don't have a computer at home, spend about £1.50 per month on my mobile, so could probably live without that, I have an MP3 thing that holds four albums and hasn't been updated for over a year. Basically, if there was a nuclear apocalypse tomorrow I would be the least affected by the loss of 21st century technology, and would be made leader of the band of survivors. I'd get to ride the best horse and have the biggest rifle.

This is heresy! I never add salt to anything, on the grounds that I don't like the taste plus it's bad for you, whereas I use pepper by the bucketload.

On a different note, anything worth tipping for the Gold Cup, VP? I'll probably organise a sweepstake at work, but I might take a proper punt too.
