Warning

Warning!

There will be lots of discussion of food, good and bad, how I find it, buy it, or sometimes kill it and then cook it, or just eat it raw. This is a blog for omnivores and convertible vegans/vegetarians but not for the squeamish. Please read on only if you are content that this little work will be "red in tooth and claw". Ahem.

Oh, and I might well be politically incorrect, not deliberately, but because I cannot keep up with terminology and because I am old enough to know no better. So, please don't read if you are sensitive or umbrageous. My opinions are purely that, I am not saying they are right (although after a second Martini, of course, they are unassailable)

Windy and a Gail

Finally working out the label for a new product, heck, the first product which I hope will help me start a business doing foods here, have got a basic food hygiene exam on Wednesday and am swotting hard. Just because no one has ever really failed it doesn't mean that I can't. My feeling is that germs are generally underated as an ingredient so I am going to have to pretend to be clean and goodly for this exam then get back to my naturally organic approach to cooking.

The afternoon was taken up exercising retired greyhounds in Reston and my favourite LBB (little black bitch) has finally found a home. Gail has been waiting for the right family for about two years and I really wanted to adopt her but we don't have the room. She is not an elegant beast; she is also a bit thick with bulgy eyes but is brave and tough and thuddingly affectionate when she throws her chunky body against my thigh. I will miss her very much but I know she is going to live at the coast with her new love Walter, BBD (big black dog) with a couple who are already potty about her and won't mind if she nicks a sandwich or two. Had a bit of a blub when I took her muzzle off after our last ever giddy dash-about together in the exercise field.
