January Week 5!

Experimental cooking Day!

For previous examples see 2010 (before it all started getting weird) here, 2011 here, 2012 here, 2013 here and 2014 here!

This year it was all about vol au vents and things you really shouldn't put in them - the delights on offer were (thank you Anthony, Simon and Emma for your suggestions!);
  • peanut butter and marmite
  • cereal and mustard
  • marmalade and bacon
  • chocolate chip and chorizo
  • pickled onion and porridge
  • banana and custard
  • roll mop and cottage cheese
 
Hmmm, I don't think this is quite what they had in mind!!



Poor Webby, after the jelly year I really didn't think he'd continue to particpate but he's clearly got nerves, or a digestive system, of steel!

Here are the results...

Banana and Custard: Webby 9/10, Mine Truly 8/10 and, shockingly (given that I don't like banana and can't stand custard) Me 10/10!
Bacon and Marmalade: Webby 8/10, Mine Truly 9/10 and Me 7/10
Chorizo and Chocolate Chip: Webby 3/10 (and gag factor), Mine Truly 10/10 and Me 6/10 - the suprising thing about this one was that it wasn't the filling combination but the combination of the chorizo and the vol au vent which was so wrong!
Peanut Butter and Marmite: Webby 6/10, Mine Truly 3/10 and Me 3/10 - this one just stuck to our lips, roof of mouth, everything, and just tasted bizarre!
Porridge and Pickled Onions: Webby 6.5/10, Mine Truly 5/10 and Me 0/10 (and gag factor) - NO. NO. NO. That is all.
Cereal and Mustard: Webby 6.5/10, Mine Truly 8/10 and Me 8/10
Rollmop and Cottage Cheese: Webby 4/10, Mine Truly 6/10 and Me 4/10

And now we have a year to think of what to do for 2016!

Pamper yourself

Luckily it was time for my monthly thai wat po massage with the wonderful Kanchana so this was an easy one :-)

Hi, I have this diary this year but unfortunately I've left it at my parent's house this week. Is there anything coming up I should be excited for?

Hello! It's a mixed week this week - tomorrow is 'Do a press up and succeed day' (personally I'm not at all excited about that one!), Friday is 'Don't be serious about anything day' and Sunday is 'Meditate for 10 minutes day'! Just in case you don't have it back for next week...Monday is 'Create an air of mystery day' and that's it for next week :-) The week after that gets a little more exciting though - hope you have your diary back soon!

Thanks very much :) I have acupuncture on Saturday morning to look forward to because I couldn't get an appointment on 'Pamper Yourself Day'
