Saturday Snippets

As I am often a 'football' widow on a Saturday, I thought I might start a little fun post.  No particular subject matter, just keeping it light.  A miscellany.

I mentioned recently that Starman seems to have developed a boob fixation.  Could this be due to the 'wobble' factor during a spanking I wonder?  What part of the body does your HOH find the most intriguing?

I still cannot sort out my  image of a two-toned blue face.  I've noticed, however, that when I post comments, the little thumbnail I chose always appears.  I've perused all the instructions, but nothing is where it should be, and nothing I press ever goes according to plan.  Like my life and everything else I suppose.  Perhaps this would be the best solution?

You didn't think you would get away without me mentioning cooking somewhere along the line did you?  This is a dish from Antonio Carluccio.  It's divine!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Sicilian Vegetable Stew

Ingredients:

800g aubergine                                       1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 tbspn olive oil                                        3 ripe tomatoes, cut into chunky cubes
1 tbspn tomatoe puree, diluted the a little water
1 tbspn caster sugar                                20 green pitted olives
1 tbspn capers                                          1 tbspn  white wine vinegar
chopped leaves and stalks of 1 head of celery
1 tbspn raisins                                           salt and pepper
1 tbspn pine kernels (optional)

Cut  the aubergine into 3cm chunks, soak in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain.  This will stop the aubergine from absorbing too much oil.

Fry the onion in the  olive oil in a large pan for a few minutes to soften. Put the aubergine chunks into the pan and fry until soft and tender, about 10 minutes.  Add the tomatoes, diluted tomato puree, sugar, capers, olives, vinegar, celery leaves and stalks, raisins and some salt and pepper and stew slowly until everything is melted together, about 30 minutes.

Stir in the pine kernels, if desired, and serve either cold or warm as a side dish, or by itself with crusty bread.

Finally my joke of the week.

"While creating women, God made a promise to men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the world.

He then smiled, and made the Earth round!"

Hope you enjoyed my little bit of fun.  

I'm off to do the ironing now!  And remember.....

Bye for now....
