BLOOAAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!

Sorry about the title. I do have an explanation.

I have lots of cook books around the house but I'm not fond of cooking. I have always loved those wonderful pictures of those delicious dishes! Unfortunately, when I got my first reasonable phone camera a few years ago, I got in the habit of taking pictures of my breakfast, lunch and dinner and then sending them to people! As a CAMRA member since I was 18, I have also been taking pictures of various pints of ale determined to capture liquid perfection in a glass with light shining through it with an immaculate head.

Years ago, I took a picture of this soup which I make at least once a week. It's sweetcorn chowder - a main meal potato, sweetcorn and red pepper soup to which I always add extra curry powder and loads of onions. It's one of the only things I do like making! However, when I sent it to an Oracle teacher friend his text response was 'Urrgghh! That looks like sick! Your pint pictures are great but your food pictures are horrible and this one makes me feel like puking!'

I don't think it looks that bad! Anyway, as I didn't go anywhere it was a choice of this - today's dinner - or Mr Squirrel chucking suet nibbles out of the bird feeder to get at the nuts beneath. You have seen a lot of him lately so I decided you were having soup.

Track? I don't think there are any decent rock tracks about soup but there was this! - Tasty Soup - The Mighty Boosh
