Started back proper today, clearing out a large garden that hasn’t been touched in 30 years, the old boy is a nightmare, wants to save everything, I have to wait until his backs turned and cut another tree down, even found a tennis court that I didn’t know was there ( lol )
Spuds, chicken, carrots, leek, shallots, fresh thyme, black pepper, chicken and veg stock, half a bottle of white wine and 3 hours in the oven, lovely stuff
Went to the little Italian in the village for a takeaway pizza and their triple cooked chips ( very nice ) and they chucked me in a brownie, my god, it was lovely, I scoffed the lot, feel a bit sick now
Missus had beans, I’d always go tinned tomatoes, I don’t think beans have any place on a breakfast/brunch along with that other abomination, the hash brown ( lol )
Funny that, after the first glass I said to the missus that it was a bit too sweet, not sugar but like sweetener you put in tea, didn’t stop me finishing it off though ( lol )
The missus brought her mate from work for tea tonight and said to me “ do us something nice “ so I went for chicken Kiev ( stuffed with garlic, parsley butter, rapped in Parma ham and covered in panko breadcrumbs) with black pepper wedges and a tomato and red onion salad
Got the steps done and the main deck today, this composite decking is a nightmare to to put down, everything has to be level, anyway, that’s me until the new year now
I don’t normally involve myself in all this Christmas nonsense but the missus has been so busy lately I thought I’d put the tree up for her, she said I’ve done a good job but I’m sure she’ll change it all around when I’m not in
