Will take forever as always, but I quite enjoy it. Lots of Nelson to help it down the hatch of course.

Good for you - I've got a superb recipe for basic curry sauce from Kris Dhillon's 'Curry Secret' if anyone wants it.

I found that I need to put loads of flour on the pasta to keep it from sticking.

Hard work but tastes fantastic though.

Well.... I am suffering from man flu and I am about to die..... oh, ok.... i have a bit of a runny nose

So.. I have done sweet diddly squat today.

Apart from a quick visit to the dive centre to pick up my cylinder just in case i am recovered by NYD (after a lie in and a watch of Star Trek... the Movie, of course). Then it was home via sainsbury's (who are selling hot cross buns already).

I have spent all afternoon watching Christmas DVD's and eating chocolates.

That was my windy Saturday afternoon gone!!! Send some of that pudding stuff down this way!!! Sounds lish!

Ok, let me get this straight, first you nearly run an old guy over, then you turn around and go back to him to make sure he doesn't tell the police.
You then get him in a stranglehold and drag him to his room, probably threatening him on the way. Luckily for him someone who cares called an ambulance.
Then you moan that your car smells of piss.

l think that you should be doing proper women stuff like cooking, not getting behind the wheel of a complex piece of machinery.

Well, the ravioli was rather splendid: Simmered then tossed in a coating of hot olive oil, garlic, chilli, lemon juice and parsley. The crimpted edges were rather thick so we left most of those, but the rest was delicious

So there you go Howard - proper woman stuff, and my lack of prowess with the pasta gadget just shows we women shouldn't be let loose with machines
