Having a bath in bath

this weekend:

the baths in bath - very very fun. Although make sure you go either early in the morning or late at night. And bring your own towel. And flip flops. Very relaxing and stunning in the sun.

Ordering dessert for dinner - especially when its the lemon merangue cheesecake from bills.

Recipe of the week:

Chicken pittas.

Stir fry the chicken pieces with several cloves of garlic and a big squeeze of lemon
Cut up cheery tomatoes, red onion and put in a bowl with balsamic vinegar
Make a dressing with nautral yoghurt, finely sliced cucumber, garlic and more lemon juice
serve in toasted pittas. Mmmm-MMMM. Yummy and low fat.

Next week. I will attempt lemon curd.

Watching:
Parks and Recreation - BBC4. Friggin hilarious.
The place beyond the pines. Ryan Gosling, MMMMMMMMM

Leslie: What if he shows up with another woman? What if one of my sleeves catches on fire and it spreads rapidly? What if instead of Tic-Tacs I accidentally pop a couple of Ambien and I have to keep punching my leg to stay awake?

Ann: Those are all insane hypotheticals and I promise you they won't happen.

Leslie: They have happened. All of these have happened to me.

[cut to Leslie being interviewed]

Leslie: Uh, no, there's more. One time I accidentally drank an entire bottle of vinegar. I thought it was terrible wine. Once I went out with a guy who wore 3-D glasses the entire evening. Oh, one time I rode in a sidecar on a guy's motorcycle, and the sidecar detached and went down a flight of stairs. Another time I went to a really boring movie with a guy and while I was asleep he tried to pull out one of my teeth. I literally woke up with his hand in my mouth. We went out a couple times after that but then he got weird.

How difficult is it to poach an egg

I rate poached eggs somewhere between Ryan Gosling and free late checkouts  at hotels. ie, very highly. But only if they can do it properly. Why is it so difficult to get decent poached egg? Or eggs benny for that matter. Half the time they are solid (whats the point of a non-runny poached egg?! For the love of god) I've even had a few that tasted of vinegar, which is the home made cheats way of poaching eggs and not one I would pay 9 sodding pounds 99 for THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Anyway. As a result.

Riding House Cafe

looks posher than it is, rude front of house, good coffee, shite poached eggs. Overall. Disappointing.
