Gourmet de Feu
I'll eat practically anything. At least have a go. Things like... dulse, a local seaweed. Fried chilli crickets. Whole dried squid. So having no cooker (due to a defective gas plumber, when I do see him,and I will, I'm going to show him a new technique for bending pipe) I bought a fuck-off BBQ. Proper no holds barred lean mean grillin' machine, hood, temp guage, flame deflection screens, electronic ignition, 16 speaker car stereo.... you know what I mean. For the first day or two I could've burnt an ice-cube. Now, I am the Gourmet de Feu. Perfect fillet or sirloin? No problem, give me 5 minutes. Char grilled peppers & veg? Piece of piss. Honeyed pork ribs, mmm, be right up. In short, dinner is a breeze. Dishes require less preparation and cooking time than a Member of Parliament needs to pick up a rent boy on Hampstead Heath. Allbeit the local weather means that sometimes a Sou' wester is needed to brave the elements at meal times. Breakfast, however, has been a bit of an obstacle so far but one that I am keen to overcome. This morning I am about to try wok cooked scrambled egg which will accompany grilled honey cured thick sliced bacon, vine tomatoes, large cap mushrooms and anything else suitable I can think of.
Table for two?

You had me at grilled peppers......
Sarah, that's a fantastic pic of you and the little one in your slide-show.
Living large!
Well thanks. I clean up alright.
Speaking of little one. Your new video- the combination of a beautiful, witty baby, gorgeous claw-foot tub, and of course your voice...you should never take that video down. Never.
I'm now officially starving. Scrambled eggs and thick honey cured bacon...on a barbecue...droooooooooolllll.
Jaysis, and I'm on a diet too. So dry brown bread and lettuce leaves for me. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it does it?
Absolutely Jacqui.
Sarah, yes you do. Everyone where I live has a baby, bath and voice like that, even the women.
Did you get your diamond ear-rings yesterday or just a pearl necklace?
Kaz, all healthy, diet friendly stuff, pull up a chair.
Table for two? I'm waiting for you to show up at my house...
(I agree with Sarah - don't take the video down!)
Indigo, I would but.... there's nobody home.
I'll keep the video up for a day or two.
Mini-me is singing "You've got a friend in me" from Shrek. I've also got an impromptu "Wheels on the bus".
I thought "You're Got A Friend In Me" is from Toy Story? Well? WELL?
swearing lady, you're absolutely right. What sort of father am I?
*sets himself Toy Story 1 & 2 for revision tonight*
