Puppy has decided to lie on my feet under the desk, do you think he's trying to make me work?

Old age I'm afraid, egged on by my doctor giving me beta blockers last year to bring my blood pressure under control not only did it not work it also gave me RA! Needless to say I changed doctors and I now take only herbal medicines, my BP is under control and my knees are much better than they were!
Lol you two and your cats! Cats and me don't mix I'm afraid I can't stand it when they rub against your legs, makes all the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
Oh thats the best part, shows you they love you ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "Oh thats the best part, shows you they love you ;o)"Not to me it doesn't it shows me they know I don't like it and so they do it all the more to p**s me off!
Helen is just about to tell Cassie all about her session with Constable Bates!
Darkangel wrote: "Oh thats the best part, shows you they love you ;o)"I like it when they do that too
Darkangel wrote: "Oh excellent, I can't wait."Tomorrow, I promise, it's really funny!
Morning, One step forward with the puppy and then two steps back! I will win, he hides now so he knows he's done wrong! Lol Eclair hides too just in case he gets the blame for Hugo's misdemeanors!I coined a new phrase in GOD 'up the stairway to Helen!'

I rather thought you would! I just logged into chapter four to finish it off, I have the girls for lunch today, Saucisse au chou- a Breton dish Alain showed me how his mother made it and I revisited it! He likes my way better!
Basically it's sausage, cabbage, onions,tomatoes, potatoes and carrots casserole.
Slice a couple of onions and fry them till soft brown the 6 fat sausages-roughly chop 2 large over-ripe tomatoes-peel and thinly slice 4 large carrots peel and thinly slice 1kg of potatoes. revove cabbage leaves from cabbage whole, de-stalk - about 15 leaves more if you want because they boil down to nothing bring pan of water to boil and pre-cook cabbage for 15 minutes- take an ovenproof large casserole - (allow 2 sausages per person at least! you could use turkey sausages-if Bernard Matthews still makes em bootiful!) place onions on the bottom next the tomatoes on top of that the sausages, then the drained cabbage leaves press down firmly moulding the cabbage to the sausage then add sliced carrots, top with potatoes arranging them neatly- sprinkle pepper on each layer- no salt there is enough in the sausage- half a pint of water crumble in 1 veggie oxo-pour over finally dot the top with butter cover with lid or foil and bake in the oven for 1 hour 200deg C -uncover and cook until golden brown on top serve with crusty bread. Sleep for two hours afterwards!
Going Shopping at the weekend so will be able to get you your oxo cubes.
Darkangel wrote: "Going Shopping at the weekend so will be able to get you your oxo cubes."Oooh lovely, it's a great winter warmer that one, very similar to lancashire hotpot - forgot you don't do lamb either!
No but it's ok, I can substitute it for chicken ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "No but it's ok, I can substitute it for chicken ;o)"Is it the texture of sausage (english) you don't like? If so find a butcher who makes his own and ask him to course grind the meat (once only) using 80% meat and 20% pork fat. They will be a bit more expensive but filling so you will need less!
English sausages have water and bread added and are finely ground the second time - I know because I have made them for the English here in France - and pork pies, steak pies and so on.
i don't mind vege sausages, but that is my limit. Just fussy I suppose!
Darkangel wrote: "i don't mind vege sausages, but that is my limit. Just fussy I suppose!"Then make it with veggie sausages at one end - just as long as you mark your end somehow!
