Yep, you're right. A brick cottage with a metal roof. Very cool in summer because of the high (Victorian) ceilings. I recommend it!
So what did you have for dinner, then, Gus?

Added suggestion for the Asian soup, osso.
That recipe is intended for 4 people. OK, enough serves for 3 hungry people or 2 starving ones! A single person household can't possibly get through it in a hurry. Certainly not at one meal, obviously!
So what I did last time was treat the noodles & the stock separately for each (single person) meal. I cooked enough noodles for one meal, put them (warm) in the bottom of a deep bowl & poured the heated stock over the top. Otherwise (following the recipe quantities & directions) the noodles would be soggy mush before your second or third helping, a day or so later. It worked just as well this way.

Tonight's dinner is likely to be a sandwich, or something that involves absolutely no effort. I've been working at my computer all day & suspect I may have brain damage! Heck, I haven't even washed last night's dishes yet!

Last night I had dinner over a friends. I'm not sure what it was but it was some sort of meat in an unbeatable creme sauce and was delicious. I probably don't want to know.

My potato and leek soup morphed into potato, leek and mushroom soup with the mushroom taking ceter stage. It was very good, though.

You wouldn't have a recipe for that, Swimpy? :wink:

I just had a (bought) kebab for (early) dinner just now.
I'm tired. No way am I going to create a sink full of dishes to wash tonight!

PIG TAILS??? That's a delicacy I have not savored.
Last night I was at a function and enjoyed the roast goat.

ehBeth, are you being serious? Pigtails? What do you mean?
Today I have eaten a tuna mayonnaise barmcake, a chicken mayonnaise barmcake, a lemon bun, a steak pie, a Mcdonalds chicken sandwich with fries and loads of chocolate and now I think I'm going to be sick.

i believe ehbeth had planned on a pig roast , but the pig started to run away and all she was left with was the tail .
if you see a pig sans tail , would you please have it delivered to ehbeth's abode ?

we can buy fresh pigtails at the local A & P store .
haven't had pigtails for many years , but i can attest that they are good tasting .
we buy fresh oxtails on occasion , but they have become rather expensive .

Are the pigs tails still all curly when they are cooked?

The pigtails were fairly straight.
I can understand why they're considered a delicacy at Mennonite BBQ's. Crispy and yummy.

i don't believe the pig tails are "curly' when cooked - they are already "uncurled" when they are being sold .
(i understand they employ an "uncurler" at the local A &P for that).
