Mission accomplished

Bludgeoning Shark half to death with various packets of dried Tesco pasta and value tinned tomatoes has been an excellent idea. She is unable to take the pasta option any longer and has reached to the cookery book shelves, pored over the contents, tied back her hair, rolled up her sleeves, and brandished a shopping list. Consequently, today at the Pile, we have been treated to the following:

Layered vegetable terrine


Roasted peppers stuffed with rice and vegetables


Butterscotch pie

Really, Shark, simply saying 'I'm cooking dinner' does not do justice to this sort of thing. We need to hang out banners, blow whistles, sound the trumpets and process with a modern dance routine throughout the front room while wearing avant garde costume in preparation for this diner's feast and cook's triumph.

Tomorrow it is back to pasta. I give it ten days max.

Wow. Looks like I am going to have to work a bit harder with my puddings from now on. Now let me see, I think I have a Roux Brothers cookbook somewhere!

What a kid, can she have her own cooking show yet? What do you think? I think she is ready for it.

This is a bit much. Firstly you make me feel inadequate, because of your teaching skills and now your daughter is making me feel inadequate with her culinary skills. What's wrong with pasta and tinned tomatoes? Can I come to tea?

thank you folks for all your kind comments. shark is amazing, that is true. and i did not even have to dwell on the fact that the meal took 6 hours in preparation and that when she'd finished, the kitchen looked like an SAS training ground.
