I have time!

I can do something for pleasure other than cook! ( Speaking of which.... )

Hmmm.... which cookbook to read next??

Actually, I have just finished Thud! I enjoyed it very much. I love you Mr Pratchett! It made me cry for some of the children related bits. :-) However at the end of the novel, I had Chesh come home, plus Sprog decided it would be a good time to be a bit noisy and the TV was going and Chesh kept talking... I'll read it again later. :-) I think I remember what happened...

Still drinking guiness and expressing. It's kind of time consuming, so I have to try and time it for when Vincent is happy being alert and not really being played with much, or else when he is asleep. But, still going. Not sure how long we'll be doing this for. I'm still convinced it is worthwhile at the moment. A few more weeks of this though I might be over it.

I had fun at Swansea yesterday, and bought asparagus, basil, parsley, coriander, potatoes, beetroot, capsicum, spring onions, tomato, brussels sprouts, I thought I bought some beans but I can't find them so I guess not, apples.... artichoke hearts, dried shrimp... er... I can't remember any more! I need the dried shrimp because I have recently acquired the cookbook that lucretiae and Matt have been cooking from and I am looking forward to cooking many Chinese marvels. It also has recipes for pork and prawn dumplings, char siu bau, rice flour rolls, glutinous rice... I haven't even finished reading this one! The dim sum is the first section in the book!

Anyway, enough chatting to you all. Tomorrow is very busy! We're going to the Kelmscott Show! Cool! :-) Should be fun! I like agricultural shows. :-)

And, just cos, here is a pic of Vincent. The date is wrong. I shall fix now. :-) It's actually from the 7th of October.

Happy Vincent Vincent has been smiling, chuckling, chortling and laughing. And he has put on 500gs in a week. My arm hurts!!
