Come On Then!

Bliss was looking at a group of bigger boys, who had space hoppers. Zak had gone over to try and have a go on a space hopper but they had not let him. He gave up and went to play with a hula hoop.

Bliss, however, did not take kindly to this treatment of her big brother.

Her full name is Bliss Jamima Joy Aphrodite Veitch - what an apporopriate name we've given her!

She is 9 months old.

I had a great culinary triumph yesterday. I cooked borscht and home-made cheesy bread. It was a truly wonderful meal. Here's how to do it.

For the borscht:

Fry up half a bulb of garlic, a pack of bacon bits and a couple of onions, add a leek, some tomatoes, 3 big beetroots, half a red cabbage, a handful of black olives and some beef stock. Shove in a load of boiling water to soup it up. Cook for a couple of hours Serve with a swirl of cream. Absolutely DELICIOUS!

For the cheesy bread:

Mix 400g strong white bread flour, a teaspoon each of yeast and salt, 150g or so of cheddar, cut into cubes, and 300ml of warm water.

Mix the dough, leave for 10 mins in the bowl covered with a cloth.

Lightly oil the worktop and your hands, knead a bit (not much, less than a minute) and put back in the bowl. Leave it 10 mins, knead it again for a bit, leave it 10 mins and knead it again.

Leave it 45 mins and flour the worktop. Pat the dough flat and roll up, shove on a floured try, seam down. Leave another 45 mins, flour the top, cut a slice in it.

Shove a tray of boiling water in the bottom of the oven, at 220 degrees or so (dead hot anyway)

Whack the bread in the oven, take it out after 45 minutes and BINGO YOU HAVE GOT CHEESY BREAD AH YEAH!

Slice and butter, serve with your delicious borscht! You have THE BEST MEAL IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!

There are no photos of either the borscht or the cheesy bread, as it was all ravenously devoured before I got the chance to snap it. Sorry about that. I looked as good as it tasted though!

I think that's about it for this week, except to tell you that I love you. I love you SO HARD! I would do anything for you! ANYTHING! If you were feeling ill or sad, I'd make you better! I'd put my face a fraction of a centimetre away from your face, and I would scream “PINE CONES!” as loudly as I could over and over again, at the very top of my voice, until you felt better! I would just keep on screaming “PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES” into your face over and over again for as long as it takes! I wouldn't stop!

I would NEVER stop until you felt ecstatically joyful and well as well can be! I'd just keep screaming and screaming and screaming and screaming, “PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES PINE CONES”

So if you're feeling out of sorts just let me know won't you! And I'll be right round to make you feel all better!

MWAH MWAH superhugs and big sloppy kisses you gorgeous gorgeous person you you smell so GOOD!

Yours sincerely

Mr Joel Andrew Veitch Master of Arts (Electronic Media)
