...and another thing:
Yesterday on the way back from the city the bus I was on passed a little three wheeler truck at the roadside entirely loaded with garlic! Enough to keep both piglet and I happy for at least a couple of weeks - I'd estimate it as roughly 12 cubic feet of the wondrous herb.
Yum, Yum!

Is Virtual Ice Cream the same as Virtuous Ice Cream, ie calorie-free?
Nice to see you Amber - I've missed you!
Having been burgled twice this year, I seem to be uninsurable as far as jewellery goes...had the pieces I always wear valued and got a nasty shock, so I tried to take out specialist insurance only to have it turned down. It isn't a victimless crime... and it is the innocent who seem to have to pay the price while the guilt get away with it and (in my case) came back for more.

I've only been burgled once in my entire lifetime, that was bad enough. You have my sympathies.
As for ice creams, virtual ice cream has virtual calories. Virtuous ice cream has calories, but only puts the fat on in places that make you look good.
I'll be keeping a long virtual distance from Wodder's garlic breath for some time.

I'd send Wodders a virtual Polo mint, but I doubt it would be effective against the quantities he's talking about. Oddly enough, this afternoon I happened upon the recipe for chicken with 40 cloves of garlic and thought I'd like to do it again, although not until (a) chez Piglet is restored to non-bomb-site status and (b) the weather gets a bit cooler. I did baked lamb for a dinner party once on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year - not a good idea.

We had the jeep serviced yesterday - we popped into the place on the way to town to see if they could fit us in this week and they said that if we went and got the parts and brought them back they'd do it then so a quick trip to the car spares place for oil and filters, etc. then back to the workshop and a walk home. We walked back in the cool of the late afternoon and waited whilst they just finished it off and then drove home - cost for the parts and their labour including manufacturing a new bracket for the fuel filters as the other had cracked, a bit under 30 quid! We gave them a Rs 500 note and told them to keep the change.
Today we are off to a book fair in town then the monthly mega-shop!

Mint over garlic attempts to conceal the garlic, rather that counter it. There are two ways to deal with garlic
i) associate only with others who consume garlic.
ii) eat handfuls of parsley. Willie Rushton recommended this as 'how to avoid smelling like Le Metro on a Saturday night', though it does little about the stale sweat and Gauloises.
The 'chicken with 40 cloves' is surprising reasonable as the cloves aren't crushed or sliced, so the odour is comparatively sweet. If it's the lamb recipe I'm thinking of, well that's another matter!

According to a currency chart I've found Rs 1800 is about Ł20 (at almost 90Rs to one GBP)!

It's because of all that garlic.
Earlier this week while I was sitting waiting at the station, something scuttled from under a large raised flower-tub underneath the bench and shot out the other side under another flower-tub before I could figure out what it was. This was disconcerting.
The following night the performance was repeated but the creature slowed down a little and I realized it was a slightly dishevelled little sparrow, looking for crumbs.
It has now got used to me, actually makes eye contact and hops around my feet while I sit there (without any food unfortunately). But I'm curious because I've never seen the bird fly, just run incredibly swiftly in a completely straight line that reminds me very much of a rat diving for cover, then dive under the nearest flowertub; and it's always alone. Is this normal behaviour for sparrows?
I'm tempted to give it some crumbs next time, but don't know if I should encourage it, especially with the cold weather approaching (and don't want to be pulled up for littering). But it's hard to make a living these days, even for a little bird.

Is the chicken with 40 garlic cloves recipe roast?
Roast garlic is a wonderful thing. If that much garlic were stewed it would be inedible to all except Wodders.

Ariel, I blame Global Warming - as the air heats it becomes less dense so it is harder for little birds to fly!
I've seen sparrows do similar stuff here and they certainly learn quickly who can be trusted.
Garlic roasted whole then deskinned [actually the skins just about fall off] is a wondrous thing!

I did it in a chicken brick. You separate the cloves of garlic but leave the skin on; put a few in the chicken cavity and scatter the rest round it, then bake it. Put a few of the cloves on each plate, and the diners squeeze out the baked garlic (which will have become almost sweet) on slices of toasted French bread.
The house smelt incredibly garlicky while it was baking, but the taste was absolutely yummy.

Alas, piglet, I am allergic to alcohol in all shapes and forms. Which is a shame, but I'm used to it now.
Not being allergic to chocolate is a pretty good compensation. Yesterday, which goes down on record as the most hideous day I have ever spent at work, was much improved by the large bar of chocolate waiting for me when I got home!

My daughter is allergic to garlic and mildly to onions but really allergic to alcohol and chocolate (and wheat/gluten, dairy, pineapple, most nuts including pine nuts, eggs have to be properly cooked and she's beginning to react to tomatoes).
Try cooking around that lot! I don't cook with garlic, butter or cream when she's around. When she went to university I bought a pack of butter to cook omelettes and scrambled eggs for me - and realised I didn't like the taste any more. Same for cream, although I'll use the soya cream in cooking. But I'm very happy to have garlic back in my life.

Nick Clegg's been a good sport about that, hasn't he?
Beautiful day today - went to the Stratford on Avon Food Festival. A crisp sort of morning with bright sunshine and the smell of frying bacon and sausages wafting through the air to greet you, from those little stoves they have at market stalls. A real variety of things to look at, wonder at and sample, including French, Italian and Middle Eastern stalls as well, spanning two streets and the riverbank.
I can now say I've tried the Anglo-Saxon equivalent of balsamic vinegar (delicious), Waitrose's seriously gingery cake (it's seriously gingery), but passed on the oysters and the exotic burgers.
The weather forecast is rain for the next few days and it's noticeably colder already - might as well get out while you can.

Another successful wedding cake by Mrs Sioni! I'll see if I can load some photos.
This was for a Wild West themed wedding party (wedding had taken place in Las Vegas) and it was a fine party, with the possible exceptions that i) it was a bit cool and ii) the farmhouse cider. I like farmhouse cider but this was pretty nasty, tasting vaguely 'woody'. Everything else and everyone there was very good indeed!

I reckon I know someone who comes into most of CK's daughter's allergy categories (except the pineapple) but they're all different people. The idea of one person being unable to have any of those things is truly scary (and more than a tad depressing).
As for soya milk, I'd rather go without. ![[Projectile]](graemlins/puke2.gif)

Soya cream in cooking just gives a creaminess to say spinach, fish or a risotto type mix. There are also rice and almond milks. And garlic is possible in small quantities, cooked thoroughly, not lightly browned. So the three boxes of cauliflower and chick pea curry in the freezer from the vat I made this week will be fine.

The fruit and veg waste from the Basics Bank Mr. S volunteers at goes to the local community farm for the pigs and goats, but they can't eat citrus fruits apparently (I didn't know that).

It's raining. The trains are upset – looking at the live destination board earlier to see how the weather was affecting them, I saw there was one trying to get out of Wales for London that was three hours late before it even reached Bristol. The evening rush hour's going to be fun.
I think I saw somewhere this is the tail end of tropical storm Nadine or something. Not that we're exactly in the tropics. How are we all doing?

We're having moderately silly weather too, but not in quite the same way as you (although we did have a brief but very heavy shower this afternoon).
Yesterday (including overnight) the temperature never got below 20°C, and during the day was up to 24°, but felt like 33° with the Humidex. In late September.
It's supposed to cool down a bit on Wednesday, thank heavens ...

I think it's set in for the day, here
I have high hopes for a meeting with a police officer tomorrow, who is going to ask me to look at some jewellery, in the hope of identifying if any of it is mine. And, oh, how I hope some of it is, and that what is not finds its rightful owner too.
I didn't have much, but what I had I liked and would prefer for it never to have been taken in the first place, so getting some of it back would be a fabulous thing. And, since I haven't actually completed the insurance claim(s) yet it will mean that I won't have to refund them, either

I'll keep you posted re the jewellery...one of the awful things about these burglaries is that I have become a bore to myself and others on the subject - they are among the most outrageous things anyone has ever done to me in my entire life (which must be more than half over by now although anyone suggesting that I am "Middle Aged" will get a Look!)

If you're interested in why I'm here, peruse the blog!

Good luck with your jewellery, St. E. I love my jewellery - I've been collecting Ortak for almost as long as I can remember* and it would take for ever to replace it if it were nicked. And you really can't measure the sentimental value - D. has been giving me Ortak birthday, Christmas and anniversary pressies for years.
* The owner of Ortak's daughter was in my class at school; she gave very classy birthday presents ... ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Helloooo - I'm baaaack!
Been visiting my son in Heidelberg. It was lovely to see him, and see that he has such a good life! We did lots of café visiting, walking in forests and cycling round fields and little German villages. The weather was good, unlike back home where there have been awful floods not far from here. I am eternally grateful to live on the very top of a hill!
