If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Had some ravioli that I'd bought from Booths. Just simple stuff - tomato, mascarpone and basil. Couldn't be arsed making a sauce so just melted some butter, mixed it with olive oil, cracked in a good few turns of black pepper and tossed it all in that. Oh my word. What an absolute triumph. :oyea:

Just made a red pepper and lime soup and thought I'd pass this tip on.

It's a good idea to avoid rubbing your eyes after chopping a red chilli pepper. :cry:

Give it an hour or so.

TGI Fridays. Not my choice. Daughter and her friend took the decision out of our hands. The real highlight was my mate telling them that it's my birthday tomorrow. Followed by a few of the waitresses singing happy birthday to me. Not embarrassing. Not in the slightest!!

Simple salad with a bit of pizza express dressing. Stuck on top two quarter pounders with a bit of cheddar on top of them. Teaspoon of flour into the pan after and poured all over. Washed down with an ice cold Estrella. Sometimes it's the simple things.

Friend of mine had lunch yesterday at Le Manoir Au Quait Saisons. £124 quid a head excluding drinks. I'd love to give it a go, but I'm really not sure I could bring myself to spend three hundred notes on lunch ( if I wasn't bothering with wine)

Yowzers. Was that the taster menu, Bob? Do you know how much it'd have been with matched wines?

And that's the sort of company you keep, is it? :D

Complimentary ??

I think we should all stick twenty quid a month away for the next twelve months and meet there for lunch next July. Anyone up for it??!

Interesting you should say that, Bob. William hatched a similar plan last year which involved sticking away an amount per month and then tying up lunch at The Fat Duck (Blumenthal's place) with Reading away (I think he managed to get to the match only).

I'm deffo up for any of that. You know me, if there's a plate of food at the end of it - I'm there. ;)
