World's greatest cheese sauce
was created by me during this quarantine. Honestly, you'd have been bowled over. Normally I would have rushed outside with it and insisted passersby taste it, it was that good. Perfect balance of seasoning, a dash of dry mustard, using finest aged cheddar (from as it happens Ireland, what else would you expect in Spain) and smooth as velvet.As it was I ate my solitary cauliflower cheese, nodding approvingly with every mouthful and occasionally closing my eyes to appreciate the sublime flavour better
Bet I never ever achieve one that good again
but who knows maybe this isolation boredom, which means more time for cooking, will turn me into a proper cook at last

Watercress pesto was a definite hit. Pea shoot pesto is nice, but a bit confusing.
There are a zillion ways to make yummy tasty rice in a pot..I'm an expert in rice plus roast beef /lamb & pork as well as many other things because I was at a hot carvery shop at 4am cooking all that and more.
I think when the clubs open back up, a bistro meal should be sufficient to impress. That way I can watch the keno results and not have to pay much attention to her prattle.
Thank you
Great blog again. You go girl.
I definitely am not qualified to be my own wife
Maybe what I need is elves who'll pop by overnight and leave everything looking flawless by morning. But then who'd do the cooking - hmmm, it's a tricky one.
But I'm sure the right woman will come along.
I am doing you a favour in releasing you really.
Believe me, I am doing you a favour.
God, I always prefer of they break it off rather than me.
The guilt kills me
I hope you're getting the hang of social distancing.
I hope the weather is improving in your side of the world.
Well, I only kind of hope that. The only time we get any decent weather seems to be when ye don't
On the bright side that at least means no possible shortage of water for wash-wash-washing our hands and the sun is out today.
Pity him.
The relief of spending a bit of time with someone who cares whether you are alive or dead is dizzying. How ludicrous is that? Thanks virus. And thanks Señor Security for ensuring there could be no sociable chatter, at the required distance, for the bulk of that meeting.
Maybe there'll be positives - maybe time to give up on money altogether which will very much upset the 10% of population greedily clutching 85% of it, but make ongoing life possible for the rest
Maybe if medical facilities hadn't been cut to the bone in the relentless pursuit of profit, we'd have enough to cope, and will in future.
Maybe - no I'm blank now. Would be nice though if people in general prioritize people they care about, over celebrities and second-hand opinions
In the meantime, more bachelor recipes would be very helpful
Boil water in kettle or saucepan
Peel back cover
Add boiled water
Wait a few minutes
Dine like a king on your pot noodles.
Note to self, if that's her cooking, Viv, you dodged a bullet when she dumped you, PHEW
Once was once too much.
Hmm - 100 metres - back in 10
