i like the sushi cos its never touched a frying pan

So today got off to a blitzing start.  As foal and I were reversing out of the drive on the school run a neighbour from across the road reversed into the side of us.  frankly shee was going too damned fast.  It was a bit of a jolt, but no real damage to cars.  I got out and asked if she was ok.  she offered to pay for damage but to be honest on my wreck who cares?  nothing to affect roadworthiness, minor dent.  The real deal is that it jolted me but more of that later.
I spent a lot of today doing some writing, about which I am quietly proud.  being able to do it is a big thing at the moment. then got home.  Mrsinky was ringing and texting.  Apparently neighbour had been on farcebook saying how teary and upset she was blah de blah.  Mrsinky said I should take flowers.
My initial thought was fuck off, because minor jolt, her fault, no damage bollocks why pander to dangerously unstable hysterics.
Then after some thought I checked again with mrsinky on the basis that that might not be a majoity voewpoint in these circs.  I do have socialisation problems after all.  So in the end i took a spray of Albertine and an Icecream bloom.  I think home grown flowers better and i know they ar jealous of my rose garden.  So I took it over and all seems fine.
But the whole thing is disturbing to me.  This social network thing is lke living in a police state.  I really do not understand how people can tolerate this violation, the intrusion...
In fact I have more reason to complain than her I think.  I was holding the wheel when jolted.  my shoulder girdle was already in trouble.  The jolt has made it worse.  I am geting clicking sensations from the joints and ...well not pain it is goung straight to nausea.  horrible.  acromioclavicular joints both sides ver noisy.

On the culinary side did tuna steaks under the grill for foal, and did a salade tiede to accompany.  i thoroughly recommend the latter.
Salade Tiede

You will need:
potatoes
asparagus
radishes
runner beans
honey
mustard
vinegar au choix
salted butter.

cut the potatos into small cubes.  put in the bottom of a steamer set and faire to the boil.  whilst doing this prepare the asparagus.  incidentally this is green aspergesas the white stuff is good only for use a a dildo.  to remove the tough bits hold the spear top and bottom and bend.  it will snap at the end of tthe tough bit.  use the tough bit for soup.  cut the asparagus into small sections, cut the beans into strings.  put them into the top of the steamer and steam.
cut the radish into small sections.
when the potatoes are done ( the asparagus etc should be just au pointe) drain it and arete briefly using cold water, then drain again.  add the radish, a generous knob of butter, a spoon of mustard and of honey and a drizzle of vinegar.  stir while the butter melts.  the potatoes sould help bind the sauce.  serve whilst still just warm.

its wierd...i hope i am not coming down with a migrane or something but i honestly was thinking that recipe in french and having to translate as i typed...

ho hum.  joint terror is not helping typing

  1. Rotten luck about the accident. But really, tears and hysterics about a minor bump? It was nice of you to take garden-fresh flowers all the same!

  2. Sounds like the start of a migraine (Oddly glad that someone else gets first-language-aphasia but keeps their seconds too. Most people think I'm bullshitting Appropriate caffeine and fluids, any and all painkillers, triptans if you have them and hold fast.

    Your writing is definitely something to be proud of. It's a cut far, far above most of what's crossed my desk over the years.

    Sounds like you're living in a neighbourhood of wilting mimosas. Lucky you didn't give her greenfly - Hope that the shoulder girdle recovers quickly enough.

  3. Inky! Invent the 'mimosa samosa' quickly.

  4. Hi. Maybe I'm being unsocial and misread things too, but wasn't it HER who ran into YOU? In which case, shouldn't it have been you who got all tearful, and shouldn't she have been bringing you flowers? Or have I missed some vital info here?

    That potato salad sounds bloody wonderful, but am clearing fridge as on Sunday am flying to Greece for 4 weeks. Great timing, I expect the Grexit to happen while I'm there. Years back Mr L was in Albania (don't ask) when the revolution blew up.

    Oh, and sparse posting is because aaaaaaagh getting everything ready to go, having tantrums at hospital pharmacies, etc. Will keep in touch as have full wifi in our apartment there anyway. Unless Grexit in which case everything f*cked up but interesting.

    I do hope not migraine. Take care. Lx
