Sorry HG - Jo been down to London for a couple of days and I`ve been out enjoying the "spring" as well as watching 5 Steven Seagal dvds ( nobody`s perfect !! ).Also re-recording all my Buddy Holly back to Media Player on the PC.
Gnocchi - presumably not potato gnocchi but semolina or wheat flour - is best served simply ..........pesto sauce,or a tomato salsa with just a reduction of onion,tomato,basil,oregano,white wine and maybe a hint of chili (garlic if you like ).Some just toss it in beurre noisette ( melted butter with lemon juice )and parsley and Formaggio Parmiggiano or Grana Padano grated over generously.
Lovely light dish and a little like Polenta , much under-rated by we Brits.
Try a Pinot Grigio to go with - delightful.

On another note my palate has gone haywire - maybe the medication ? I have got a taste for Stone`s Ginger Wine with Canada Dry over ice and my 14 and 15% reds are not being enjoyed any more !!!!! I have therefore ordered a case of Gamay/Burgundian wines to see if I can get over it and restore my blood alcohol levels at 12/13% - worth a try !

Sunshine all gone today - first daffodil out and the Forsythia blossoming - Les printemps sont arrivees ........................

This is getting pointless..................................!!!!

How dare you call Cyril vermin - he does not need rescuing as he is happy to feed from the hand of his mates - Tozza & Joclick - in return for endless entertainment,a small amount of hollow tine aeration and a daily patrol of Spital Towers Estate to make sure there are no "other" vermin about !!!!

Shame on you Gwyn ......................................

Cyril often talks about his cousin Cyril who lives in Bath - Midsomer Norton - and often gets asked to play small parts on Casualty and Holby City - he says !!

Apparently he was on Casualty a couple of weeks ago - a lay on part - he played a roadkill victim as the ambulance raced past - the only lines were double white but he gets a lot of nuts and the fringe benefits are apparently quite good.
He was also the figure of the NS&I for a while and his dad - Cyril - was in the Cadburys ads some years ago !

Cyril is hoping his lad will be going over the Mersey to the Everyman Theatre to study and become a furry thespian as well.

Bit like me really !!!!!!

I had a "cocky" chef once who thought he didn`t need to wash his hands after preparing chilis and before going to the toilet !!!!!!!!!!!!

Took him a long time to get over the pain and the lesson methinks was never forgotten...................................
