Wednesday 8th February 2023<\/p>\n

Val announced that for the visit of myself and Anthony Mottram to his Moscova, Hastings, we would be having a tasting menu, i.e. a menu that tastes of something – such a novelty.<\/p>\n

The Gay Mother has declared a kale named ‘Pentland Brig’ to be good. She has continued with swede work, although her latest swede did not live up to the first. Finishing a casserole of beef, she was to be seen with a pot of possible damson chutney. So it was a mystery that what ended up on the plate tasted of orange. ‘I put marmalade as well,’ the Gay Mother said, and practically doubled up with glee at the wickedness of it.<\/p>\n

We actually lunched out – at Marks and Spencer. Except it was rammed even at 12 noon by old people and there was no lunch. Only toasted sandwiches. No salads, no made-dishes, not even a moussaka. However morale was boosted and the Gay Mother sketched plans to have lunch in a restaurant in a valley where 50 years ago she had much disliked the chef, who had previously been a violinist. Her husband was a pomposity with a waistcoat and watch-chain who toured the tables garnering praise. The Gay Mother also wants to visit an Art Gallery where there is a cafe. We could have gone there instead of Marks and Spencer, if only we’d thought of it.<\/p>\n

I forgot to mention the agony of the patties. They cost \u00a39.00 for three so I was hardly going to throw them away. \u00a37.20 was the price to park outside the Farm Shop for 5 minutes (such are the Communist authorities in North London). So I parked on a non-paying basis. Panting in the shop, I managed to get out with the patties and few other things (\u00a326.92) before anybody in authority appeared. But back at my vehicle, flapped and rushing, somehow the car door opening caught the bag of patties and dashed them to the ground. There was nothing for it but to pick them off the floor and hope for the best. Later I dusted off the little black specks. Surely a thorough heating up in the Aga would kill off typhoid or whatever?<\/p>\n

Well, it’s ten days since eating the patties. No ill effects so far.<\/p>\n
