Well the beetroot culinary experience proved positive. In addition to the creation of a pink kitchen the actual cake itself was damn impressive. It tastes really quite good but, well, beetrooty as well in a weird kind of way. I sent Paul to work with some in a little Tupperware pot. He’s now contractually obliged to appreciate my cooking so hopefully he won’t have chucked it over the fence on the way to work, liked I used to do with my sandwiches on the way to school all those years ago.
in response to Clr's comment I was trying to find something interesting to do with the beetroot whcih came in my vedge box. I had intended to do exactly as suggested and smother it in butter icing but ni fact it's damn nice jsut on it's own. tastes a lot like tea cake. yum

I haven’t written yet about our new TV viewing experience. We have become even more tecchie and purchased a PVR. As the reviews say “this will change your life”. Possibly not my life but certainly my TV viewing habits. No longer am I forced to watch Hollyoaks simply because it was the only thing on when I have made my tea and sat down with a desire to watch something while I eat it. NOW I can increase my choice massively by recording onto the hard disk SOOOOO many possibilities, that I am spoilt for choice! For the uninitiated it’s Sky+ without the subscription…..
Only thing is Paul and I are more interesting the endless recording possibilities rather than actually viewing. It’s a bit like me reading the TV guide so I know what’s on but never actually watching anything. But at least we now have lots of films to watch should we fee the urge. Oohh technology eh, in’t it ace.
