Woulden't it be lovely to blow up the swimming pool and relax in the garden in the sunshine with the umbrella up as shade for Sirius and his bowl of water, and a icey cool can of cream-soda for me???
*sighs* I wish..
No...its cooking day!!
I have to make a massive bowl of chilli, and a huge cauliflower cheese!! which I shall be starting very shortly.
The cauliflower cheese is easy enough...boil cauli, cover in cheese sauce and top with grated cheese and bang in a megga hot oven for 25 mins...but the chilli takes longer, and if I am not carefull I end up with red hot fingers, that I have to rinse for ages to get the chilli juice off!!! I am not a chilli snob but I never use chilli powder...only the real thing will do. I try to use a nice mixture of tiny megga hot "birdeye" chilli's and the larger milder variaty, for a nice smooth heat. Also once made it will keep for up to a week or more, so cooking day is worth it realy. It freezes nicely too, so if I make too much, it goes into portions, cartons and ends up in the freezer.
Chilli in Summer I hear you ask??
Well its not just somthing you stick with rice you know!!
Chilli and green salad, jacket potato, galic bread dip, and all kinds of other things...Infact the ammount of boiled rice I consumed during my travels around Asia, I actually hate the stuff now and rarely eat it, so my personal fav is with a jacket and a small salad.
In other news, I have totaly finished with ebay and paypal!!
They have ripped me off for £100 with no explanation, and no answer to my emails, and the dozens of phone calls I have made I have just been fobbed off and passed from department to department only to be told I will not get my money back!!! So a warning to all paypal will not honour a return chargeback even if you have a recipt of postage. and ebay are totally useless and unhelpfull...well they have been to me, anyway.
Oh and I still have a blocked ear....Grrrrrrrrr!!!!
I am reluctent to waste the Doctors time, but a trip there looks like a must........
Ok....on with the chilii....*puts on apron*
