Easter fare

My brother has been visiting recently, so we've been mixing home cookery with take aways and restuarants/pubs. After a week of this even I'm thinking about detoxing!!

The home cooked food ranged from my oft tried quick recipies like the potato/chorizo bake and Thai green curry.

The food in the restaurants ranged from the disapointing under-cooked pizza (even pizza hut would have been embarassed) to the deliciously rustic cheese/pate board.

This was all accompanied with lots and lots of ale/bitter or guinness. Things are only now starting to get back into focus... football this evening was a chastening experience! :-)

Plus, I also ate a choccy egg given to my by my boss at work, it came with a darth vader pen holder which was cool. The choccy was nice, if not a little on the dark side... :-D

Hi!

Yeah it sounds like it. How can you drink Guiness ??? Smells bad and I guess tastes bad also. Carling ain't better ?
PS : ok, as I'm a non drinker I don't know much about beer, just served some for 1 year.

Carling!? Carling!?!?! I'm shocked! It's like asking someone to eat a McDonalds "hamburger" instead of a Argentine/Aberdeen Angus/Kobe steak!

OK, the Guinness might have a good punch the first time you try it, but that's character for you. Carling is just blandness gone blander. After that first mouthful you appreciate the smoothness and general all-round goodness of it :-)
