I wanna live forever
Bright sunny September skies here and very welcome too. Child 1 up at 4am for some last minute holiday extravaganza but I did my fatherly 'waving off' routine before retiring one more time. I then dreamt about Bono commissioning a film from Sally Traffic about a Palestinian who's identity I didn't catch. What's that about? My theory about dreams is that they mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and it's just your brain throwing random stuff together but hey, there's no book in that, no career in interpretation beckoning. I will check with Sally but it sounds er, unlikely to me.
Anyway here we are with some of Nigel's cooking to look forward to and today it's his version of Toad in the hole. Now obviously this is essentially sausages and Yorkshire pudding batter so what will Nige do to make it sparkle? No idea of course but my guess is sausages. He'll have found the world's best sausages made from the world's most content and attractive pigs and hand crafted by farmers around their kitchen table while drinking cider and discussing EU subsidies. True? Bet I'm not far off... And oldies today on the subject of BEING FAMOUS. This is because the Hollywood Walk of Fame people are refusing to admit reality TV stars (hooray) and Kim Kardashian and friends are up in arms about it. FAME and BEING FAMOUS should do us fine.
Have a sparkly and glam Wedneday, see you after 5.

I seem to be having trouble posting longer comments this morning, so I'll split this one in two.
Really looking forward to Nigel's toad in the hole tonight. It's one of my favourite dishes, although mine always seems to end up with the batter crispy on the outside and a bit soggy near to where the sausages are. I'll be interested to hear his solution to that. And what accompaniment he suggests too. We usually go for mashed potato and onion gravy a la Saint Delia, and the younger Bs like to slather it all in tomato sauce.

Best sausages I ever had were in a cafe in O'Connell Street in Dublin. After the midnight ferry from Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire, and a train in to Dublin, the breakfast
in O'Connell Street was the best ever. Not sure if sausages can melt in the mouth, but these were brilliant.
Breakfast was more successful then the day's racing at Leopardstown :-)

Hope everyone's OK.
A couple of cynical takes on fame from Mr Geoerge Michael:
'Star People' (the album version not the naff dancy version that was released)
'Freedom'
And a couple more:
'Star' - Kiki Dee
'Wow' - Kate Bush

#79 - MTF - yes please, better than the skanky old salad I'm currently munching on.

BIG TIME - PETER GABRIEL
For the oldies, it fits the theme I think :)
I can't offer any expertise on sausages I'm afraid, I usually get mine from the supermarket that has a flower in it ;) They offer a nice selection, and no gristle!
Nice to see Tortie and Toots, and everyone else of course! xx

Look at Me - Geri Halliwell
Notorious - Duran Duran
Superstar - The Carpenters (I just love the begining of this song .. very atmospheric)
Andy, You're a Star - The Killers
Rockstar - Nickelback

Lincoln isn't that far away from - plus I've been looking at my annual leave and I've got some more days to take between now and X***s. Especially since it looks like something I was hoping to do isn't now going to happen :(
MTF and PennyForem - I've just had an egg butty too! Egg mayo and tomato roll, to be exact. Very yummy it was too.
And on the subject of sausages, I really like the ELH pork and apple ones.
