Tonights dinner top trumps

[Rusty]

..something about cooking aroma drifting over the water that just makes everyone hungry

I was a couple of swims upwind of Steve W at Wingham one year and I just knew he could smell the sausages and onions frying in my pan whilst he munched on his bread and butter sarnies.

 

Tonight's offering reflects the lousy day I've had at work, posh hot dogs sitting in front of the telly watching Pulp Fiction;

Well my day was s^&&*e to painted a old lathe and plaster ceilng covered in old woodchip which promptly fell down [ceiling and woodchip] leaving me looking at a room that looked like a bomb had gone off ,patch about 6` square fell down have a vid of the aftermath on my phone which I will show you as it`s a bit expletive heavy,,,,,,feking hate lathe and plaster ceilings when they do that

I helped my old man strip a ten foot square ceiling when i was about 12 ,he went off to mix the paste for the new paper and heard a thump ,i was flat on my face under it ,obviously the only thing holding it up was the paper .luckily the ladders and plank he stood on took the brunt of it

Luckily plasterboard was available and he went off and bought it and i held one end up with a broom whilst he nailed it ,it didnt get plastered just the gaps filled and the usual woodchip of the time hid the result

Chesters exactly that got some 9mm plasterboard will square up the edges and screw board up bit of bonding round the edge easi fill over paper area with matching grade woodchip then recoat that bit with emul and I will be at the same state I was at around 1pm today.Luckily customer is an old family friend so I wont end up doing it for nothing but has just screwed my timescale up that was looking good for a few days off fishing....onwards and upwards

Hotdogs are a guilty pleasure - and yes, sitting downwind of Rusty at Wingham gets the nostrils twitching, though the barbecues usually cause meat overdose by the end of the weekend

 

I tend to eat the sort of terrible stuff I don't allow myself to eat at home - breakfast in a can type of junk!

- breakfast in a can type of junk!

Yeeeuch!......under any circumstances!

 

We should have a *Breakfast Top Trumps*.

 

No muesli munchers or cereal crunchers allowed.

Crawling out of my bivvy at half three in the morning, cold and damp in the bones, dawn still extinguishing the stars and mist on the water, my dietary preferences make Chesters look like a food snob

Or your sleeping bag needs replacing

We should have a *Breakfast Top Trumps*.

We had a bracing pre-breakfast (or "ante-jentacular" for the classicists out there ) walk over Ashdown Forest this morning, with almost a nip of frost.

 

Came back, starving. Needed a quick fix.

 

Large plate of coarse-rolled oatmeal porridge, with a handful of dried cranberries stirred in, and a touch of salt.

 

Dinner this evening, grilled red mullet with peas and potato mashed with fines herbes.
