Don't spill your soup in a vintage bag.

Last night I went to a my first ever wedding which was lovely, and what made it even more lovely was this....

















I ate THEM ALL.

As I haven't done any cooking since my last blogette I shall instead talk about the delicious wedding meal.

Arrival: Prosecco. I smiled a lot at the waiters and waitresses and they kept giving me more prosecco, that is why I don't work very well today. We also had little canapés with tomato purée and parmesan on. Incidentally parmesan has the highest occurrence of natural MSG than any other food.(WOW)

Starter: Leek and potato soup with a few bits in that looked and tasted a bit like chewing gums but I expect it was gnocchi (which is a good word to say out loud). A few months ago someone asked me at the canteen lunch table where my top was from. As I turned around to check the label I knocked a whole cup of Leek and potato soup into a vintage bag which has been in the Power family for about 40 years. Even though I did my best to clean out the bag, it still whiffs a little bit of leek and also the crap soap you get in office toilets which is nice and shiny but not very good at cleaning things.

Main Course: STEAK - I love steak. I would sacrifice my going-out-to-the-pub-on-a-friday-money (which is always a bit more than going out the the pub on a Wednesday money) for a good steak. This one did not disappoint, although I could have handled it slightly rarer. I do think the best way to cook steak is to hold up the steak and say to it 'look there's the pan' and then put it on the plate. However if you do like it a bit more done then heat up a griddle VERY HOT and when boiling put the steak in. 2 mins on each side for medium rare, 4 mins on each side for medium and 6 mins on each side for well done. If anyone ever asks you for steak well done though you should just eat their steak for them as they clearly don't deserve it.

Pudding: Lemon tart with what I think was raspberry sorbet. At this point though it was quite dark and I'd drunk quite a lot of delicious wine so it could have been made from a different type of berry although not blackberry as then it would have been black not pink. I think lemon is a fantastic fruit to have in a pudding, being more of a savoury than a sweet person I will often choose cheese (also fun to say out loud - it makes you sound like a train) instead of pudding but, put a lemon in it and I'll gobble it down - quick as a bee.

SWEETS

Before home-time there was cheese. It was delicious but after I ate it and drank all the wine my tummy hurt A LOT.

Since doing my blog I have become much better at computers. I can now upload stuff and do linkings.
Finally here is a little joke that you can tell to all your friends.
Q. What do you call a gay chickpea?
A. A houmousexual.

As it is Saturday I'm off to eat toast (delicious and exciting) and clean the bathroom sink (boring, but necessary).
