Mad Carina came round for belated birthday tea and cakes and pressie swap. I gave her wooden tulips and she gave me books - a veritable library of books, all brill reads. I have decided to come back to the educational ones in my next and get stuck into the chic lit without further ado. What a great friend - she knows just what I like.
Yesterday Mr Smith bought me a Cordon Bleu cookery book. I opened it and nearly fainted from the sheer hard work required to produce any of the dishes. Where do you buy chervil? So far I have managed chicken stock that involved making little herb parcels wrapped in leek leaves - I know, it will taste just the same as if I bunged them all in with the chicken but I am being a perfectionist. I will feed some of the boiled chicken to the dog - Cordon Bleu for the dog? I will then make a nice easy peasy Delia chicken pie for Mr Smith and he will very pleased with his purchase.
Internet Dating Jane cooked me the most lovely dinner last night and gave me a lovely birthday present, (posh garden twine with dinky little scissors). She will make Tarzan such a good wife ... if he asks her. Valentine's Day is coming up soon; Mr Smith's least favourite day of the year.
