Stavross

Chicken dinner today

Butter baked cod topped with panko breadcrumbs, hasselback spuds and tender stem, the gap at the bottom of the plate is for the homemade mayo that I’d forgotten about until I was halfway through eating it

I did a pork stroganoff tonight with the leftover roast pork from yesterday

Mine are spot on and they were only about £130, I wouldn’t say they are as good as Swarovski but I had a £400 pair of Lica and they are better than them

Yes, 10x is a bit more mag but you get a bigger field of view from 8x, so if I know where something is then 10x is better but if I’m looking over an area 8x is better because I can see more of where I’m looking if you want 10x have a look at vortex diamondback, my mate has them and they are excellent

Yeah, for what I use them for, mainly in forestry blocks on the rides or on smallish fields 8’s are better for me

Nice to have an office like this, there’s a big fire on the moors behind me, day 3 and it’s still burning

I’ve had loads, Lica, Swarovski, but all I will have now are vortex, just a general pair, I’d go for something like 8x42, I’m onto my third pair of vortex crossfire, they are really good, cheap and have a lifetime warranty, I’ve broken two pairs ( my own fault) and sent them to them and they sent me a new pair

Done a roast pork joint today, load of rosemary, thyme, garlic, black pepper and salt, low and slow in the oven, nice

They only go as fast as you make them, Mrs Stav has driven all my cars, I used to give her driving lessons in my 93 RS2000, when she past her test I put her on my insurance so she could drive my new A4 and a year later my discovery because she couldn’t afford to insure cars like that being a new driver, she’s now a confident driver no matter how big or fast it is, she drives a new Audi S3 Vorsprung now and although she just tootles around in it she knows how to drive it if some little chav try’s their look at the lights

I was on north York moor at about one this afternoon it was 32 degrees, no breeze just flies

I did thyme butter baked cod with colcannon mash, tender stem ( that had a couple of minutes in the pan that the fish was cooked in ) and a cream and white wine sauce, it was bloody lovely

Absolute belter that my missus is going to see them in September, she got two tickets and thought I’d go with her, No Ta, too many people for me, so she’s taking her mate for a 3 day mini break to London, so I’ve got a 3 day mini break at home ( bliss )

View from my office today, servicing my van on my drive, old school

For me tonight I just chucked a load of stuff in a pan, onion, tomato, peppers, courgettes, garlic, chorizo, chicken, wine and had it with some rice for her, chicken and leek with a creamy sauce, rice and broccoli
