Another twitter exile - it was good in 2006 😊
Musician, foodie, web designer, love Spain 🇪🇸
That is exactly the sort of supper I need! The rain has been biblical, I've had a proper soaking - bit I also have some chicken thighs in the fridge. Let's do this 😋

I just said the same to my brother. He so assured at CB, whereas he's constantly exposed for pace at FB.

I'm heading down there in about 45 minutes. Be good to see you if you're not in a hurry to get elsewhere!

England. More specifically, Newcastle upon Tyne, so I'm actually north of Hadrian's Wall. #practicallyscotland 😆

I've been on statins for a couple of decades, but never believed it was clear cut. I've never met a doctor who had any real understanding of the mechanisms involved, so hopefully this research will be more widely disseminated.

My local Morrisons does haggis year round too. It's something I have a lot more often than just Burns Night.

I'm not really a cake/sweet person, so I don't know, but it might be worth dropping an email to one or two of our local artisan bakers, like Northern Rye or these: www.dreamworldcakes.co.uk/patisserie

Three bean chilli for when I get in from my post work pint at the Free Trade - plus soaking some bacalao for tomorrow's supper. The weather has been grim in NE6 this morning.

That looks great! I've got a chunk of bacalao in the fridge, so I'm going to soak that tonight, and use it in place of fresh cod - Will report back 🤤

I remember it being called the murder mile back in the late 80s, when my then GF lived down by The Anchor & Hope. There were fairly regular shootings and stabbings back then.

I saw it the week it came out, in or just off Leicester Square. We were, obviously, straight out for noodles in Soho immediately it finished.

Superb film, I'm well overdue another watch.

A sad loss. I've dropped in there many times for a change from the ubiquitous Cruzcampo.

What the holy fuck is that monstrosity!?

I'm a big fan of "just order all the starters" in good restaurants. It's exactly what we did for my daughter's birthday supper on Friday, and bloody hell they were nearly all fantastic :-)
