Well, that kept her awake until the early hours of this morning. There was no way she was going to get to sleep whilst wondering 'what happened next', that was for sure!
The book was 'THE HEIST' by Daniel Silva. The frst book of his that she read was 'MOSCOW RULES'.. scary stuff folks.. this was just as scary but in a different way. Clever plot and the 'baddies' are currently being exceedingly bad and very evil in REAL life. NO, I'm not going to tell you the plot.
We want you to go to your library and get his books or buy them. She believes in author's royalty rights, for when you borrow a book from a library, they get paid an annual fee and quite rightly so. The first book in the Gabriel Allon series is 'The Kill Artist' - published in 2001 by Harper.
It is dreary beyond belief out there.. ugh.. but we are snug as two bugs even though the heating is no longer on 24 x 7, it is on for just long enough to stop the place getting chilly and hot drinks are good, especially if they have a bit of honey to sweeten them a tiny bit.
The two chicken carcasses are breaking down properly, she took a small cup of the liquid at midday, it's not ready yet. Stock starts to get really good when the bones give up their goodness, the gelatin breaks down and all the tastes of the ingredients start to come together.
She drew her feet today, dear Debbie Goaty has offered to get her a pair of the magical Polish WARM boots that she found at an angling store AND at an amazingly good price! But my mama has very small feet, nothing worse than leaving your boot behind when you're treading in mud! So in her basket are a map (as she calls it) of her two feet and the HOT dumpling sauce she found.
Marylebone Market equals Malaysian Dumplings.. I hope that you all feel sorry for me.. I never get to taste one of these, all I get is a whiff of how scrumptious they were on her breath when she comes home, I can assure you, it is not as good as having one. Never mind. I do know what there is for supper and that is enough to gladden anyone's heart!
A good mix of vegetables, some egg noodles and a duck breast. The fat is scored and rubbed with Old Bay.. then it will be cooked on a dry, hot griddle, fat side down for about six minutes, then flipped over and cooked for a further three or four minutes. Then it will be allowed to rest for a bit.. is your moufh watering?
She slurps vegetable water, so tasty with carrots, onions and leeks. Try cooking your vegetables with only just enough water to cover the root vegetables (which take longer to cook), then add your green vegetables on top for the last couple of minutes, the taste of the water is delicious and with carrots, is very sweet.. yum.
In the meantime, I spy with my beady eye.. an apple with a stalk.. silly thing, it is just lying there unprotected on the bed, so I am off to give it a good beaking and she is off to make a cup of tea.
Zoom.. we hope that you are enjoying your week end.
