How lovely, is the reply i feel you are all saying at that title. hee hee
Basically i seem to have hands that are able to attract smells to them after the shortest of encounters. A few years back now when i was living in Newcastle. I was a youth worker for a local church for a year. Half the time we lived in a team house and the other half was with people at the church. The lady that i lived with was an amazing cook. She did the most amazing thick ( and i mean really thick) soups. Anyway on this one evening she decided to cook a curry. It was quite a mild curry. She had to pop out of the kitchen for about 2 mins and asked me to keep an eye on the food and to stir it if needed. I did that for about 30secs and low and behold my hand decided to smell of curry for the rest of the evening, even though i washed them a million times. grrrrrrrrrrr
Anyway that leads me to tell you about tonights smelly hand incident. I was cooking tea for my mom and myself and decided to do a spag bol. Even if i do say so myself it was lovely. I cooked it from scratch using fresh tomatoes, onion, mixed herbs ( i usually also use mushrooms but we didnt have any) and my secret ingredient which makes it oh so yum. Once that was cooked. i put the pasta on and started to cook the mince. And now alas my hands smell of mince even though i have washed them loads and even used the carex hand wash in the kitchen. Am i destined for a life of skinky hands???????????????? i hope not.
Ive been at work today. I was plannig on meeting up with a couple of friends for a quick drink after work and then head off home at about 7pm. We ended up having loads to do at work, so i didnt leave the shop untill 6pm. Boss gave me a lift home though so that was ok.
I know i always seem to chat about food in this diary, but i must tell you about a funny thing that made me laugh today. I am the queen of bizarre foods. I love sprout sandwiches with cheese and red sauce.( dont use cheese slices though as that makes it gross) Also cheese and stuffing sandwiches. They are fantastic. These combinations came about when i was a vegetarian for 7 years. I was trying to make a cheese sandwich more interesting. Anyway something that i love at the moment is boissan (spell) cheese on rice cakes. A good mix of healthy and not so healthy. I thought this was the ultimate in trying to be healthy but not quite making it, until today. My work mate for lunch had a large chicken pastie with a slim fast drink. How funny is that. She said she had to have the pastie as the drink alone wasnt filling. ha ha ha
Anyway, as usual i have waffled on for far too long so i will bid you all a very good night.
