      update on progress:

      1. become a progressively worse person - engaged in "warm talk" with colleague this morning so obviously failing
      2. see ferdy more - so far have avoided speaking to him
      3. finish "the bear and the baphomet" - need a ferdy to do that
      4. thrash out a workable and long lasting plan for peace in the middle east which may result in the sacrifice of the druze people - decided i like the druze and am working on becoming new aga khan so fingers crossed for that
      5. cook less - done haha
      6. worry less - am feeling a bit more chilled but still have a mind like a shattered fucking mirror
      7. go diving - well...
      8. learn some bits of obscure languages - purchased phrasebooks in pidgin and south pacific languages
      9. listen to more radio 2 - all day
      10. learn to play guitar - have a couple around the house...may have a strum later
      11. talk to 'rentals a bit more/less/the same - done
      12. more drug stuff - have saved all me crak lit in my personal profiles for later reference.

    • See my favourite welsh man and both his bands the one I not seen and the kroesh one...
      May attend a couple gigs I'm not playing this year... maybe buy a record for the first time in nearly two years... maybe put on a show I'm not playing...
      Maybe not be so hateful...

      New series just started
      Besides, I'd hate it, I'm a cook, not a chef, don't like the stress

      Check it out though, wild mushroom risotto, chicken breast and creamed leek

      same here. i think if you approach it as an experience that you're not too bothered about winning it might be good. the restaurant based stuff would fucking shit me up though. studio kitchen stuff would work. saw it last night...carbonised pork chop marinated in jus de blue dragon sweet chili? i've done tastier shits.

    • Not seen the 1st episode yet, but I've heard about the Irish fella burning the chops
    •  mambamamba
    • Two recent culinary successes:

      Chicken & king prawn jambalaya on Boxing Day. My first proper bit of entertaining, food wise. I revelled in the compliments.

      Sizzling beef in black bean sauce with egg fried rice. My taste buds didn't know what had hit them.


      Resolutions:
      Give up smoking properly. So far so good, aided by illness.
      Don't go out so much, so I can save more to do proper fun stuff / holidays / festivals etc.
      Eat less
      Ride my bike more

    • So far so good on being a cunt this year...told my sister in law that I wouldn't go to Heston Blumenthal's restaurant for her 21st as at £93 a head it's a fucking rip off and his food looks like shit!!!
    •  JackJack
    • i think rich might have been there
    •  HopkinsHopkins
    • Expensive, yes
      I imagine to be an out of this world dining experience though
    •  bad admiralbad admiral
    • no i haven't...i want to but there's too much fucking fish on the menu and i can't stomach it.

      i've seen photos and it looks UNBELIEVABLE.
    •  JackJack
    • ah i though you went for a taster thing or something, you need to start loving the fish dude. I can cook you up a good fish

    • Another resolution:

      I wish I was, but the wife's an ex-veggie and is really fussy when it comes to protein

      I can only enjoy mussels etc when she goes out

    • i do need to be loving the fish, but i have probs eating it without gagging like a fussy toddler.

    • People are queuing in the freezing cold to get into Jamie's Italian in Bath at Lunchtime when there is a smashing little Italian 5 minutes up the road. Crazy fools
    •  mambamamba
    • My girlfriend is just fussy. I'm trying to educate her. I keep picking up the whole sea bass in sainsburys and then putting it down, mostly because its still got the head on and scares me.
