Day Forty

I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow. I logged in this morning and had 500 emails. Most of them are now gone, so I don't have to deal with them tomorrow.

As promised, here is my chip recipe, It is pretty easy and is stolen from River Cottage.

Get your potatoes, peel them and cut them into your chips. I prefer them to be chunky like wedges. Then chuck them in some water and boil them until you can stab them with a fork. Drain them and then toss them about in a bowl to rough them up and make them crunchy.

While they are boiling, grab a roasting pan and stick some oil in the bottom, about 2mm over whole bottom. Stick that in an oven at about 200 degrees to pre-heat the oil. This is really important. Put the chip in after they are roughed up. Chuck some rock salt, black peppercorns and italian herbs in a mortar and pestle. Crush them up and sprinkle about half over the chips. Put the other half to one side.

Stick the chips in the oven for about 40 mins (or until crispy), turning once. When they are done, take them out and dish them up, then sprinkle the rest of your salt mix over it. Done.


So it turns out that we have o carer for the Daughter until the middle of next week. WTF are we going to do now?

Well See ya later, alligator
