“Now, Everett is the brother of which card playing gentleman? Either way, it's good to see he's supportive, even if he enjoys his brother's discomfort.”—miri Thompson
Notice how careful was I was being.*grins*
Continues from here
His brother’s seat on the horse was off. His brother’s gait was off too, Everett thought, worse than usual after his Thursday card game.
Unusual too was that his brother’s playing partner had shown up to ride with their party. Everett didn’t remember inviting him but was growled at when he commented.
Cynthia, the little gold digger after a golden ring, was not pleased and so Everett couldn’t be more pleased. His brother deserved better than that.
He smiled. Never had he seen an ass carried quite so far from the saddle, like there was a stick up his… Oh.

Date: 2013-07-22 05:32 am (UTC)You read like you're doing okay. This makes me happy. How was work? Lot's of sympathetic noises I hope.

Date: 2013-07-22 03:34 pm (UTC)Yeah, heaps better. They'd gone home early 'as there was nothing to do' I had a list of all last weeks work to finish that' hadn't been done - math? it does not add!
And she's played with my rota this week so I was to finish early, so I missed dinner and finished even earlier and avoided her.
Also had the part-timer in with me to train.
*eyeroll* like I've never been away!!!
Left my hair down, swelling is down to where it's not too noticable then so got left alone. Sore though because I had to keep talking telling the girl stuff.

She seems really nice, capable but no rush in her, light shift, if it had been the usual workload I'd have gone scatty ;)

Date: 2013-07-23 05:52 am (UTC)or you could leave out the chicken cause the other tastes like.... nevermind. Nevermind nevermind. The way that the Campbell's Soup people make it, it's salty and thin white and tastes like.... probably clams.
Of course they couldn't call it New England if it's sold in England. Like French Fries are Pommes Frites and for you chips (yes?)
New England Clam Chowder
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 celery stalks (reserve tender leaves) trimmed, quartered lengthwise, then sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 (10-ounce) cans chopped clams in juice
1 cup heavy cream
2 bay leaves
1 pound Idaho potatoes, cut into 1/2- inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pan Toasted Croutons:
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 baguette, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and saute until softened, mixing often. Stir in the flour to distribute evenly. Add the stock, juice from 2 cans of chopped clams (reserve clams), cream, bay leaves, and potatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring consistently (the mixture will thicken), then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 20 minutes, stirring often, until the potatoes are nice and tender. Then add clams and season to taste with salt and pepper, cook until clams are just firm, another 2 minutes.
For the Pan Toasted Croutons:
Melt the butter in a large skillet and toss the bread cubes in the butter until browned and toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper.

Date: 2013-07-23 04:05 pm (UTC)Hmmm salty white sauce - You make it sound in-ter-esting
French fries are what we call the narrow chips you get from MacDonalds
Chips are when you sweet talk your hubby into chopping up potatoes to fry or wandering down to the chipshop.
Crips come flavoured in a packet and are good for picnicks
It's all too confusing I'm going to go eat some ice-cream, I've deemed myself healed enough to attempt it.
