Foie Gras and Pigs Liver
This blogs latest winners and losers…
Foie Gras:
1. Being on holiday when everyone else isn’t.
2. Walks in Chambers Wood with my camera.
3. Lunch with my Godson and his mother; Dover Sole with Razor Clams and Beurre Noisette-Clam Reduction cooked by his father- a revelation in taste and concept.
4. Sponsoring a child who has nothing she wants when I have everything I want.
5. Showing restraint with Canon EF lens purchases-time to stick with what I’ve got!
6. New year, new food style, concepts and wild food a matter of weeks away.
7. Moro East Book, the third in the series, simple Spanish food with North African influences based on their experiences in a London allotment. Look out for tales from Cadiz and their tapas bars in future posts.
8. Parsley root-looks like a parsnip, a taste sensation
Pigs Liver:
1. Going back to work
2. Rain stopping me from going on more walks.
3. Not buying the Canon EF 16-35mm pro lens which I talked myself out of buying-I should know better than to listen to myself.
4. Getting stitched by Deep Purple
5. Bettaware Salesman-last time he knocks on my door 
6. Buying Godson a toy fire engine-Migraine!
7. Staff recruitment-nobody wants to cook anymore
8. Having to go to Cadiz to see my oldest and dearest friends now. 
9. Service engineers-never arrive when they say they will
I could go on but it would turn into a rant. Feel free to post any of your ‘good and bad’s’.

Sublime:
Yard renovations - sows ear into a silk purse!
Finding a rose distillery in my county via the net and buying rosewater the next day!
Fresh juice every day
Wages - useful for buying little extras
Shopping in Stamford, always a delight
Marmalade homemade
This Site - too fabulous for words
Sub-standard:
Work - is gritting your teeth and trying to get through it really worth the effort?
Juicer - pulp definitely not fiction!
Endless housework and waining enthusiasm
Gales - javelin like bits of tree coming right at you… kindling with attitude
Family matters - drain on mental resources
