I see a Blackberry crumble coming on later

You knew this was coming didn't you. Fancy cod n chips now.

Did you know that the Portuguese invented frying in batter? And then took it to Japan, who made a big thing of it. After a few centuries some twat came up with frying candy bars.

Managed to get through 106F temps today After making another run to the dump to empty my truck in the morning, I'll be tending to assembling my wife's new Etrike that just showed up today....

then for desert, deep fried Mars Bar.

The Gorleston cliff top gala this weekend so hopefully get there in-between the normal showers https://clifftopfestival.info MotoGP and maybe a bit more sheds if I can be arsed, getting bored of it now. Mandis having her hair done this morn so I'm thinking of a walk.

I suddenly don't need to go anymore!

Coming from a man so handsome only stainless steel mirrors can withstand his beauty

It's the only way.

Feel pretty fortunate to have seen him race Live @ Washougal back before he broke his back....he's like a few other top riders, knows only 1 speed....FAST 4ward!!

I just showed Ersilia , that's one of her favourites as well

Thrown in the deep end tonight but it turned out ok. Had a message in the week as there was a Lifeboat event on the quay. 200 years celebration. Anyway my group was asked to sing a few songs after the Vicar did her bit. We rocked up to a packed town quay, bit more of an event than just a few songs. Went well so all good in the end. After there was a band called Johnny and the Lips. Apparently Johnny was the wizened up old bass player who was in the Commitments from the film. Brilliant band all the same, brass section and all. Shame I had to come home to go to work. Working Sunday night as well but don’t have any other plans yet.

Hake fillets, marinated in mild and lemon and gently fried in egg and flour batter, with cold “russian” salad. My mum’s cooking, the sort of stuff I used to hate as a kid but now love.

Codfish with chickpeas, with plenty of coriander. Very much a southern Portuguese/Lisbon thing.

Everything is better deep fried in batter.

Think.......I will be doing the same as the previous weekend, with a bit of Moto GP viewing thrown in.

you'll need more than a day .. you ugly fucker

i have one

I have a mate who follows Marillion all over Europe, he's probably seen them over 100 times.

With that size of rack, you could have a topbox that would even make Pete jealous...

No reason. I just looked up on google what the English name for the Portuguese “pescada” is, and it came up as hake. I suppose codfish and cod are the same thing, but I always think of codfish for some reason. All the cod you see in my food or all over Portugal is preserved salted, like in Italy or Croacia. Bacalhau in Portuguese or Baccala in Italian. An entire fish, when you buy it whole looks like this, big ones being 3kg to 6kg like this:

He kicks ass! Amazing to see.

Brocolli pasta, my favourite pasta. This was very much awakened with fresh chillies straight from the plant in my garden, very soft and young and still almost seedless. The trick is to allow the broccolli to get a little charred before adding any other ingredient to the pan.

He means salted cod, but for sure some fish and chips might change him!

Try it deep fried in batter.

Well I must say it’s all going rather well for Labour

Rude

Doggie walking tomorrow , then some beers later . Probably not as many as Fred though

And if I find out this is in your wank bank I’m sending @Buckster to deep fry your custard chucker

Some Wish You Were Here vibes?

Only thing i know i'll be doing this weekend is going to my mates 60th birthday party he was my best man when i got married. So probably have a lay in tomorrow get up and spend the rest of the day making myself pretty, then get pissed and spend Sunday recovering saying to myself never again.

that's slightly better than this one Oops sorry that's the iron lady

Roasted chicken legs with potatoes: Very nice simple salad and steak dinner: Comfort food, Sofia's leftover frozen vegetable curry with freshly made mint rice. There's now a very authentic Pakistani restaurant near my place. I love it. Chicken bahari (the red one) and mutton curry. @Sofia's Pork roast, Alentejo style
