😃 The Little Pleasures of Everyday Life

Very tricky. I have pre-primary school knowledge so would never pick these as most dangerous ones have ridges.

But these are edible. I pick only those with like a sponge under layer.
BUT shrooms can vary by region, so edible here killed 200 people in Germany…

Never had a mushroom bigger than my steak before!

The “girls” headed to the mountains this morning at 5am

At 09:30 got a photo of the boot of their car - totally full & they were heading back out to fill the back seat & parcel shelf.

At $100 a kg for some varieties this is desperately needed right now at least a couple of weeks shopping covered!

Stunning sunny day crystal clear air perfect for the Zakopane Mountains tour.
With 4 Brits. OMG 1st ones I’ve talked to since lockdown.
Kevin & his wife & 2 mates.
Kevin owns Kasbah in Old Christchurch Road, just returned as a sports bar (Chelsea)
His mate Monty - Saints fan & I think Chris the Bompey fan.
Great day talked shit & politics & tour stuff.

Say hi to Kevin next time!

Flying back to Bompey Tuesday!

You may recall tales of Mrs P_F & BFF heading out when the villages put stuff out for scrap.
Obviously not preferred plan but Covid the economy & crooks.

The kitchen here has been a nightmare being short of units & we needed an island in the centre - again had to make do.

Anyway, the Gasman told Mrs P_F to come round to his place (what to do?) As his Mum was chucking an old kitchen out & maybe the units would help as a temporary solution.

What are the odds that

  1. The units are in good nick
  2. They are the identical design & colour of the shitty ones we already have?

Seems Gasman has satisfied all the ladies of the house. Mum finally has her complete kitchen & can move stuff out of sister in law’s upstairs. We can get our kitchen stuff outta storage.

Next up anyone chucking out a working gas cooker?

Took me old jalopy out for a drive around the Winchester area this morning while the sun shone. I love these ramshackle barns, make an interesting backdrop…

Fry and steak are mutually exclusive words. Now if it was BBQ or grill that would be fine,

Except maybe a pork loin steak, even then I would still grill it…

I’m not setting up a BBQ at 9pm on a Tuesday just to do one steak Bob. And when you say grilling do you mean putting under the grill, like cheese on toast?

Indeedy indeedy…

You’re pulling my plonker aren’t you? :face_with_monocle:

He must be. Grilling a steak, indeed :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

What you mean is the pan was luke warm and you turned your steak over twice in it before removing it heating the pan to red hot and frying the onions to put on it

Thick cut steak. Must be room temperature. Get it out of the fridge at least an hour before cooking. Rub a little bit of oil into it. LOTS of salt and pepper. HOT pan. Chuck it in. LEAVE IT ALONE. Cook for 90 seconds. Turn steak over. Cook for 1 minute. Add a massive knob of butter to pan and spoon over steak whilst cooking for further 1 minute.
REST steak for 5 minutes.
Eat Medium rare steak.
