Manuka is amazing stuff! Sore throat? Teaspoon of manuka. Not any more. Skin rash? Same again. Worth every penny of the sixteen groats I paid for mine.
Uma mesa para um, faz favor. Obrigado.

Sore throat? Just gargle with Armagnac.
Alternatively, just man the f*ck up.

Mrs BP's attempt to recreate the menu from our recent visit to Pum Thai this evening. Chicken satay and a herb salad followed by Chicken Penang curry. Can't wait. Washed down with Viognier. Not sure if I've seen someone around here recco that once or twice!
First impressions are very good!

So impressed was I with it last time that I've got the slow cooker out again for another blast at that Mexican three bean veggi chili. This time though it'll include thebish recco'd Kale.
To be washed down with a (currently reduced from £12 to £6 at Morrisons) superb 2013 Prestige & Calvet Cotes du Rhone.

Speaking of eating and drinking well...
For Bruce Rioja - here's a link to my report on the two outstanding restaurants in Amsterdam we were talking about yesterday.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
I went to a restaurant called Pyongyang last week. A bizarre experience to say the least.
It's a North Korean restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The staff there were actually North Korean which was remarkable in itself - I think I can probably count the number of North Korean people I've ever met before in my life on the fingers of one hand. I think there's some North Korean government money funding the place - there was a curious little shop bit where you could buy North Korean flag pin badges and North Korean matches and things like that. Anyhow, we (we were a group of about a dozen) got put in our own room upstairs - there were about four or five of these rooms. The room has its own karaoke machine. We were given these two oversized gold microphones which were alarmingly dildoesque in appearance. The karaoke machine offered the usual range from "classics" to boyband shite, but with the rather odd difference of the background videos on the screen consisting entirely of a rolling series of propaganda views of the "magnificent" streets and buildings and "stunning" scenery of North Korea; the complete absence of people from these pictures was striking. The waitresses were fairly easy on the eye, and all slightly unhinged; I'm fairly sure it turned into a knocking shop after closing time.
The food, incidentally, was unremittingly vile. Think of the very worst Chinese meal you've had, and it was ten times worse than that.

Was the menu mainly Leerdammer cheese based?

Wandered into Tesco this morning with a view to buying one of their slow cookers I'd seen last week. Lo and behold they had crock pots in there at half price. Chilli has been cooking 7 hours now and the house smells great!

Last time I made it I chucked a load of Kale in with it too (Cheers Bish) which, if you like dark greens, works an absolute treat.
