Aight then

It's been a while, again, since I last updated. For all of you not into the happy news. As of November 1, I am a full time employee of SPI Lasers in Hampshire, which is in the south of England for all you non-geographers. So I'm gonna be settling for a while in this soggy nation.
About the only thing that means is more chances to roam around Europe and wherever else.

So lets see what's been happening lately. Ah yes Lilian and I hit the Natural History Museum in South Kensington this last weekend for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards. Some amazing pictures, particularly by youngsters. There was a category for 11-17 and under 10s. The winner for the under 10 was an amazing shot of a red fox on snow. The contrast was startling. My favourite pictures was one of a macaque (a type of ape) which had these clear brown eyes, but its expression was one of total confusion, imagine a big duh, but on a monkey. We had a good laugh about the monkey and I naturally pulled a few faces, which quickly brought "people don't need to take photos of animals, they can just take one of you!" from Lil... damn I got snapped =P

We also took a wander through the science museum next door, which turned out to be a giant disappointment. It's a big place filled with lots of dated junk from yesteryear. It feels more like an amusement park than a museum. We only took a turn through there to get out of the rain. The highlight of the evening was dinner (of course).We hit a creperie nearby. Behold our meals!

This was my Portuguese crepe. The filling being chicken, potatoes and cheese among a couple of other things I have since forgotten. It was yuuuuum

Here we have Lilian and her salmon and spinach crepe, which also had garlic (piles of it) and a powerful cheese sauce. I ended up having to finish it....it was FILLING!

Here's something else I made lately.


Looks like a pile dunnit. I'd picked up a bottle of Rendang curry sauce from the supermarket, made from all natural ingredients and get this it was imported... from Australia...the place that made this stuff is based in Botany, how random. Anyway this is my Rendang Curry Beef, which wasn't too bad despite the fact I used the wrong sort of beef.

This one is my special Drunken chicken fried rice noodle...it was a total mistake... there was so much of it i nearly swelled up and exploded. Looks good don't it =P

I need to find something new to make soon. I'm getting kinda bored with what I'm making. Thai curries, fried noodles, rice and what not. Sure I could refine them and all, but the ingredients over here are nowhere near as good as back home so....

I might make a fish pie next weekend. This weekend is gonna be rather busy.
