BBQ weather 

Posted on June 5, 2017June 5, 2017 By admin

These days, we’re living off of grilled meals and salads. This weekend, we had burgers, sausages, teriyaki pork loin kebabs, steak sandwiches with grilled onions and mushrooms, potato salad, watermelon feta salad, and plain garden salad.

So mad it’s making me cynical 

Posted on June 4, 2017June 4, 2017 By admin

Another bunch of fucktards decided to follow an ideology of hatred and kill a bunch of people out for a walk or a drink. This will do nothing for their goals, except playing into the hands of equally small minded, angry people on the other side. 

It’s tragic in its futility. It’s infuriating that people are using this senseless act to try and push their own agenda. You have this coming from the Muppet-in-Chief of the US:

And then you have the PM trying to say, See? See? I told you so! Except her party and government have been in charge and stirring the pot for the last few years. Shit, she has me agreeing with Nigel! FUCKING NIGEL!!! 

A very cynical part of me is wondering if the back channels might have pushed the crazies into acting, so that Boris could flail around and say “Durr! Corbyn won’t protect you against the bad people” and Theresa could act all strong and stable. 

The only thing preventing me from going down that road is that the current government is full of muppets who don’t have two neurons to connect together across the whole lot of them.

[recipe] Watermelon cucumber feta salad

Posted on June 3, 2017June 3, 2017 By admin

1/2 cucumber
1/2 small watermelon, peeled, deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes
200g good-quality feta cheese, crumbled into small cubes
1 small red onion, sliced thin
1 small bunch of mint, chopped

For the dressing:
4 tbsp olive oil
juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Peel the cucumber with a potato peeler, cut in half lengthways and, using a teaspoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut into crescent shapes.
Layer half the watermelon, cucumber, feta and onions in a bowl, repeat again, then sprinkle with the chopped mint. For the dressing, whisk together the oil and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and pour into the bowl. Serve chilled.

Things you learn! 

Posted on May 31, 2017 By admin

Cookie Monster has a British cousin named Biscuit Monster. He appears in an episode of The Furchester Hotel, staying at the hotel on holiday, having heard his cousin was employed there. He resembles Cookie Monster in appearance (save for a fancy hat), speech patterns (referring to himself as “me”) and love for cookies (which he calls “biscuits”).

Not the sort of take-out I had in mind

Posted on May 31, 2017 By admin

I was googling to find take-out places that deliver to Morges. This should not have been in the list…
