Now everything has started moving with our home and our days at our temporary address seem to be numbered, I thought I would treat myself to some long over-due Dr Who DVD box sets and what a delightful surprize I just got!!!
The Key to time 7 DVD box set is selling on Amazon for £145 and I have just got it off ebay for £30 and its the limited edition too!!! My other purcheses are "Benith the surface" box set and "Dalek War!" box set all for superb prices off ebay!! I have even bought a small DVD rack that I am going to mount on the wall on my side of the bed so I can keep my favoite stories in....Boy oh boy will I have some WHO marathons when we get back home, after all the work is finished!
I have nearly all Dr who stories on video but over the years the video is getting pooer and poorer quality, and although I have stopped collecting, I am steadily replacing all the titles I can on DVD format! I am quite ashamed to admit it but I have only a few of the new series discs although I have the compleat 1st, 2nd and 3rd series...I kind of gave up after that! But the classic Who will alway have my heart! There is bugger all on telly tonight and as Derek wants to watch "Survivers" I will have an early bath and indulge in "the Grenn Death" with my all time favorite Dr Who, Jon Pertwee! some port and a supper of Irish cabbage and bacon! If you haven't tried it please do so as its realy yummy and with a small side of galic bread is a perfect supper or a delightful way to serve cabbage on your Sunday roast. It does exactly what it says on the tin....
Get a large "sweetheart" cabbage or two if they are small. Chop and boil for 8 minuits in seasoned water (salt and pepper) take a packet of streaky, unsmoked bacon and chop and fry in olive oil. Fry untill just truning crip. Drain cooked cabbage add some more pepper to taste, and chop further with a knife. Combine the cabbage and bacon in a lidded cassrole dish and add a large nob of real butter to the top!! Hey presto!! Irish cabbage n' Bacon!! can be heated up in the microwave in seconds, and will keep for about a week. It actually tastes better after 24 hours in the fridge as the flavors get a change to combine. This was a recipie I got of Dereks auntie when we made a trip to Donegal some years ago where I learned to make soda bread too! Irish cooking is fantastic and I have learned several traditional recipies.
Ok...am off to fry the bacon now! byeee! x
