My organic box scheme people keep bringing me curly kale. Whatever I do to it, it just tastes nasty.

To be fair, ours wasn't nasty. It was more like dull and rather hard going. Sort of the outside of a cabbage.

But then again ours wasn't organic.

Curly kale - try steaming it for a bit, and then stir frying it in butter and sesame oil, with some garlic and pine nuts. Or add it to a stew -my 14 year old daughter loved it like that. Mind you, it might have had something to do with having picked it herself...
And so our middle age doesn't show too much on our fronts, the name of the band is lostprophets (all lower case, all one word). Mind you, even in Wales they don't get it right all the time - when they appeared at the Bridgend Recreation Centre, they were added to the till buttons as 'Lost Profits'. Apt, I thought.
Wish I had a blog - I think I would have fitted in just right at your Saturday do. I become Ms Invisible at the bar...

Hello Deirdre.

My daughter has been very clear there is no 'the' before lostprophets but she never told me the rest - the full horror as it were. I remember bitter recrimination in some quarters concerning references to Cream and not 'the' Cream. I think I have heard Eric Clapton refer to 'the Cream' so where that leaves all of those know-alls I won't speculate.

Go on, get yaself a blog. They're free you know. And easy.
