My Life Does He Purrrrrr......!!!


WA & WS having a chat

Just a short one. But it had me in creases, absolute turned me inside out.......
WA or Bagpuss as he is an exact clone of was sitting down.
His third chin was so low he was purring with every breath when suddenly he started talking about a film on wednesday night.
A really good film which has won some awards.
So good it was and so excited he was that I asked what it was called.
"Scooby Dog Money" he said.
"Never heard of it" I said.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I beedin' am. Are you sure it's not just Scooby Doo?" I replied whilst strangling myself
"Oh yeah, that's it Scooby Doo Dog Millionaire" he said happily and with a straight face.
I had to walk away saying "sorry, not heard of that one."
I just could not just explode with laughter in his face.
It's why I like working with him on mondays. He does come out with some gems. Unintentionally of course.
I did ask him what it was about and he muttered something about Deal or No Deal. Again his chins wobbled with excitement.
Meanwhile I picked up a starter knife & stabbed myself.......

Weather gone all Snow White today. Took me an hour and half to get back home from shopping. Normally 15 minutes. I only went to get a apir of thicker sole boots. Instead all I got was 6" of pure, a diary, 2 bottles of Lucozade Original and a bag of peanut M&Ms. Fab.
It was also so good to see fancy rear wheel drive BMWs struggling to get up a slight hill whilst being overtaken by a Ford KA.

Walked down & picked the kids up from school. Had a snowball fight with other smaller kids before their parents could see what I was doing. Anyway they off 2mrw so gonna make some snowpersons.



Curiosity Killed the Bagpuss........maybe, just maybe...

These guys were the first concert I saw......

"Arsenal are playing well aren't they?"


A Homage.....to WN, Domingo & Pavorotti!!


But WN or LBN (work it out) was wearing a fetching purple jumper. Rather nice I didn't think. No wonder he gave me a scarf of the same batty colour before. I did like it as it matches my eye shadow and it did have a rather soft touch. Never, I thought, will I wear clothing of that colour. Anyway, cold it rather was the other day. I dugged in my wardrobe to find my woolly jumpers. Found some which I'd put away either as it was out of season or they had shrunk or I had got bigger. Found a really cuddly John Rocha one. Lovely and warm it was. Kinda a burnt chocolate colour with, yes, a purple trim to it.

Anyway, Curry House been busy over the hols. We finally moving with the new menu................tried a a couple of dishes from other local restaurants. Both tasted like pants....that reminds me. Back in a bit.

That's better. Depends on your perspective though......

I have recently re-discovered Twiglets. Marmite covered wholegrain baked little things. Try 'em. Love 'em or hate 'em as they say. Remember it's a fine line between love and hate....

Kung Foo Panda Does NOT Look Like Me.......


Weekend was funny again. We had a mid & late sitting but nowt early on.....Strictly final was on, and I should imagine our usual customers would watch this over X-factor.
A confession.....I've been watching the best & worst X- Factor auditions on ITV2 and have been practising in the shower....
"hey everybody take a look at me,
I got street credibility,
I may not have a job,
but I have a good time with the boys that I meet down the line.......



I may have a chance so maybe I will apply.........

Anyway.....

Looking forward to a Saints away day on Christmas. IA the weather is clear but cold. The cold does clean things up so a visit to the coast should be refreshing to say the least.

Oooh oooh I made myself a bhuna to be proud of last night. It was sensational. Juicy tikka in a dryish sauce spiked with chilli flakes, garlic and a methi. As usual I didn't take a picture but judging by the sounds my tummy was making it was accepted with glee with no repercussions this morning......

Nachos....

Lamb Rogan Josh....


Went meat shopping.
Bought a huge leg of mutant dinosaur/sheep leg.
Half keema and half chop chop.
Lovely lean meat so I decided to cook a traditional lamb rogan josh.
Jeera, dhaniya, garam masalla and fennel powders all go well with lamb.
Not restaurant style but a tangy slightly sour dish.
But didn't get any yoghurt or tomatoes which give a sour taste so used plum tomatoes from a tin.
It was nice. Really nice.
Made some nice potatoes to compliment and used my secret Kashmiri masalla paste to give a hot kick. Also I microwaved the potatoes first so they lovely and soft. They also cooked quicker.

Just finished watching "Big Trouble in Little China."


Funny it was and funny it still is........

Eyes are closing.......

Feed The Fish.....

Please feed my fish.......drag your mouse over the tank and left click on mouse to drop food.
They will be very appreciative of the time and effort you have given to them.

Miaow.....

Mera Choto Bhai and Mera Dost........


As I've been away for a while and I know you've all missed me I offer you a cute animal picture.....

Okay laptop gone schtunk so not been able to share those pearls with you all.....

But a couple of big things happening soon......

Mera chotu bhai is getting engaged to santa on chismiss day. Celebrations and jubilations......

Also mera kup bora dost is also getting done next March IA. He deserves it big time and has made me so happy...........
Both occasions will be in my thoughts for a long time.......

Anyway I have surprised myself, considering how well Villa have been doing recently, that I've not wrote too much 'bout it.
BUT beating Manure at Old Trafford was great.
We even got Shrek doing a bit of diving........



Beating the Mackems away tonight was triffic and all we need is for Burnley to do Arsenal 2wrw nite and third place is ours!


Will get some food pictures up soon. But I have a major problem in that
when I make some really nice food before I can take a photo some fat git comes and stuffs his round face without care or kindness to others. I tell you......

Anyway it was Manure 0 Villa 1.................and Mackems 0 SuperVillans 2. Sunderland have a really strong home record,the strongest outside the top four, but they did get spanked tonight. Much like the Prawn Sarnie brigade at Old Trafford......Anyway enough of that

A quiz....what filum is this describing........"a walloping, kitchsy blues-chaser from Manmohan Desai, ............................................... were played by Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor & Amitabh Bachchan" It is a fantastic film.......

I've covered football, filums, weddings and touched on food. So what's happening at the Curry House? Busy as it's christmas time and WA is leaving to work in a kebab shop. It's closer to home and he will get paid £80 a shift. Not bad considering you get free food and it's a flippin' cloud bloody cuckoo land kebab shop with slave shifts of 12-12 and back to back shifts. Muppet, numpty and eck number eeediot.......he ain't leaving but we can all live in hope. WS doing okay. A rough, crude bad boy diamonique diamond. WNs doing fine me thinks although he does go out for a lot more cigs than normal.......mmmm think think think......yep, got it......!!

Oh yeah, the girls went shopping the other day and I got a lovely kebab back. Although by then I'd already eaten fish'n'chips with the kids and was a bit round........

Anyway a final bit of advice to mera chotu bhai.........


and to balance out.........although the title can be changed to any number of topics.....

Chat soon
