After the week I've had, I'm about as sharp as a pound of wet leather.

That doesn't make sense.
Expecting me to make sense makes no sense.
Television cookery stands accused of being pornographic...Warning - may contain traces of sauce.

Dunno if I'm hungry or horny.
Oh dear, I have to confess to stuffing a mushroom just over a week ago… Does that make me some kind of pervert?
I'm assuming so; it embraced the flavours that had been inserted into its frilly cavity :~/
Yes, but it's so hard to tell when they're faking...
It did get moist, though, and didn't complain.
Not complaining is normally a good sign.
The sainted Delia says that you should always wipe mushrooms and never wash them. Which for some reason has always given me a very odd mental image...
Can't understand that thinking. They're grown in shit!I wash them!
But that would mean disobeying mistress Delia. I could not possibly do that. She might punish me. Again.
50 shades of mushrooms? What next??
Seeing as everyone seems to be having a baby at the moment, today's post is my letter to a newborn...http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/09...
In another forum, the blog about babies started a conversation about 3 am. So here is my ode to 3 am.You can tell where you are in life by your relationship to 3 am...

How about unemployed insomniacs?
Continuing the theme about the link between pornography and cookery, here is an apology about artichokes....http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/09...

The weirdest 3 am for me was during one of the storms in the 80s. The fire brigade woke us up because a tree had been uprooted by the wind and was leaning over towards our London flat. And because they wouldn't let us back in the flat we had to wander the streets looking at the damage that the storm had done to cars, walls and houses.
Michel Roux is pretty sexy anyway!
I have to agree! Especially when artichokes are on the menu ;-)
Up early and no new blog to read with my coffee.It's just not good enough, Will.
I know, I know. Falling down on the job.The thing is ... I did write a blog for today. But when it was finished, I decided that it was too long (even by my standards) and too serious. It would be one of those where you would say "sheesh ... can we have a funny one for a change".
But if you like I can do requests - just for you. Give me a subject and I'll give you a blog.
Oooooo!Okay!
Ummmmm
Let me think...
Not gonna make this easy for you.Your topic is...
The many uses of dice.
Challenge accepted!I'll do that one tomorrow. For today, here is a continuation of the artichoke theme...

You attended a meeting at my school, then.
Too many meetings and too many post-its stuck on walls...
A blog about dice, just for Patti.A bit more serious than my normal stuff.

I liked this blog about dice, many people do actually live by numbers. I know many people who justify how they think by quoting numbers. My daughter was born on 03.03.93 and 3.03. Three is a lucky no for me and my hubby.
We also believe in multiples of three, we didn't chose this number it just came up again and again in our life, if that makes senses.
I had a friend she would only wear 6 glass bangles not 7 or 8. If one broke she would take them all off.
I wouldn't want a roll of dice to make my decision for me, I would rather decide my fate myself.
But here's the difficult question - did the number 3 really come up so often in your life, or did you notice it more because you were looking out for it?The long blog that I wrote the other day (but decided not to post) was all about this. We tend to notice the things that stand out for us more than anything else. That makes it seem that they are happening more often than they really do.
Maybe I will post that blog after all.
Yes it would be interesting to read that blog. No we didn't look out the Number. All our main events happened around these numbers, if that makes any sense.
I'll post that one tomorrow morning. I'll need to do a bit of editing first. It is currently part of a bigger blog about good versus bad conspiracies. I'll strip out that part, just for you, and then do the rest of the conspiracy blog as a stand alone a few days later.
Thank you very much, actually I read your big discussion on science vs religion that was interesting lol
Have you read The Dice Man, Will?
Luke Rhinehart - yes, an old favourite. But I thought it a little too clichéd to use in the blog.
I've not read it. Tried it as Dave keeps mithering me to read it but I couldn't get into it.
I don't think it has aged well. It has a very seventies feel - and that was the decade that style forgot.I liked it because of the way that he bases his life around the dice. It's an alternative way of doing things and probably no worse than some of the alternatives.
Quite possibly it's more of a classic because of what it says than how it says it.
