This is very good. The tomato/onion/spice mix smelled quite generic when it was bubbling away, but the aubergine seems to do the trick - either way it ends up lovely.

5 A Day is the name of a number of programs in countries such as the USA, the United Kingdom and Germany, to encourage the consumption of at least five portions of fruit and vegetables each day, following a recommendation by the World Health Organization that individuals consume at least 400g of vegetables daily.

Vodka (Polish: wódka, Russian: водка) is a distilled beverage composed primarily of water and ethanol, sometimes with traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made by the distillation of fermented substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits or sugar. Traditionally prepared vodkas had an alcoholic content of 40% by volume.[citation needed] Today, the standard Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, Latvian and Lithuanian vodkas are 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) or 80 proof. The European Union has established a minimum of 37.5% ABV for any "European vodka" to be named as such.[1][2] Products sold as vodka in the United States must have an alcoholic content of 30% or more.[3] For homemade vodkas and distilled beverages referred to as "moonshine", see moonshine by country. Vodka is traditionally drunk neat in the vodka belt countries of Eastern Europe and around the Baltic Sea. It is also commonly used in cocktails and mixed drinks, such as the Bloody Mary, Screwdriver, Sex on the Beach, Moscow Mule, White Russian, Black Russian, vodka tonic, and in a vodka martini.

It's physical exertion, so I'm guessing his mam's side of the family.

Centre Court today is like a real-life game of "Where's CT?".

(Not my dog. I kind of wish it was!)

Purists will point out it's nowt to do with Newcastle really, but I stumbled across a batch at the local branch of Family Bargains, of all places, so I had to give it a try.

That's the fella. Works a treat!

Well CT was hardly likely to be hanging out in a book depository.

It'll somehow be our fault if he doesn't.

There's no need for subliminal advertising where CT is concerned, the regular liminal stuff is quite sufficient.

That's because the shopping bags are German.

They see my German shopping bags and instinctively fear reprisals.

Because I use my own bags and they fuck with the scales, for a start.

First semi starts at 1pm.

I don't pack stuff as I go along at self-service checkouts. If they're going to make me do all the work, I shall darned well do it in my own time.

Just because you've managed to raise your kids to be lazy spongers from the Bank of Mum and Dad doesn't mean you need to tar every 20something with the same brush.

He did go out on loan for a while, but there's no evidence it's helped him mature as a poster.

As if you've even seen your eggs for decades like.

It doesn't explain why all of a sudden people keep mentioning it. Is it trendy now? You don't have to use the word "trendy" with such obvious suspicion. Anyway, I mentioned it several months ago in this very thread, when I made some on the same weekend as the last batch of baby-shit curries. Is it better than wholemeal for you? Don't know, don't care. Does it have some special taste? Aye, it tastes of rye. Does it make great toast? It makes great toast. Posted this photo at the time. Why rye and not mothers pride? Why anything and not anything else? It's just another type of bread. There are quite a lot of them out there. This is the recipe I used, anyway - with a bit more rye flour and a bit less white flour, because I'm nails like that.

Unlike certain other members of the London clique, Fish has not given up drinking for July. As such, I'm taking requests on what to slip into his cider tonight. ("Your cock" is not a valid response.)

The fella's away till Tuesday so I'm taking the opportunity to go veggie for a few days (I'd call it detox, but with the Fish's birthday drinks tonight and Matt's tomorrow... ). Tomorrow I'll be rustling up the usual batch of curries that look like baby sick, but for today it's Brock's tried-and-tested ratatouille with eggs poached in the same pan, served with toasted rye bread on the side.

Blatantly trying to force her into an arranged marriage with Shane.

OH GOD THEY GOT CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER, DIDN'T THEY? :( :(
