Chief Cook and Bottle Emptier

Sunday, a day of rest, or in my case a day of cooking, working and tidying (a little bit).

Given that last week I didn’t feel like cooking much, I thought it would be wise to get some things in the freezer. So 2 cannelloni, 16 soups and 48 stock cubes later I now have a few dishes that just need to be defrosted and cooked, (3 cannelloni’s, 4 fish pies, 3 cottage pies) and weekend lunches for Belle for 8 weeks!

It was far to hot to cook, and I am sure I lost several stone in the processes. If I did that will be very helpful as I am playing badminton tomorrow for the first time in 3 months. I have also managed to find a Wii Fit. I have been looking since I got the job, but the UK has sold out, so I have had to go further a field, so Amazon.co.de came to my aid. A couple of screens tested my GCSE German, but I have an e-mail confirmation and am just a delivery away from that sylph like figure. A friend told me over the weekend she had lost 3 stone, which is fantastic, I would be happy to lose between 1 ½ to 2 stone, because I am big boned!

So, the shopping got in the way of the cleaning, never mind I will just have to accrue it to next weekend.

Finished my presentations, in the end I decided to KIS, I can talk for ever so there is no need for to many slides.

Had a tea disaster tonight, for some reason best know to its self the fresh lamb I bought yesterday smelled like pooh when cooked! Everything else was fine, but you
Just cant eat food that smells like pooh!

So before bed it was a chance to catch up on a programme about the Crystal Skulls. I had high hopes that it would be a serious scientific programme, but no, it was made by Americans! Let me share an example, two of the ancient skulls where placed on a table, and then the placed 2 modern made ‘control skulls’. Now up until this point I was sceptical, but the use of control skulls convinced me! Then, and this is really spooky, they travelled down river into a forest (in South America), following in the footsteps of the first skull discoverer, and, are you ready for this revalation? Then just like the first trip, as they paddled down a river in a tropical rain forest they encountered a swam of mosquitoes. Who would believe that years after the first journey there were the same swarms of mosquitoes. I know I could not believe it either, now when I went into the Amazon we encountered swarms of mosquitoes, but in this case it must be far more sinister!

Coming from a nation that has never suppressed, or committed mass genocides in the name of discovery, I am forced to wonder what would the world be like if the Spanish had not massacred most of South America. One thing is for sure, I would not just have watched a programme made by idiots!
