Menu of the Day and Band Name Decision

by avrilo @ 2008-07-18 - 20:08:27

DINNER
Cauliflower Curry with Chick Peas
Brown Rice
Garlic and Coriander Naan Bread
Salad a la Moi
Garden Broad Beans in olive oil, lemon juice n Garlic

Walnut Dream Ice Cream

I picked a couple of stubby looking cauliflowers from the garden. I don't think they are going to get any bigger and would do for a curry. The broad beans are delicious when cold, after cooking first, done as a side dish. Very Turkish.

I've had to come up with a band name as I'm performing at this year's Women in Tune festival. At the moment there's just me and a very good bass player. I'm hoping to recruit some others to join. I was asked for the name to go in the programme asap. After much faffing and finding names that became surreal, like Fraulines On Toast......Wittering Heights...... Bra Wars......... Marmite Central........I've come up with:

The Dot Coms.
Ta! Da!

Now someone will tell me that the name is already out there.....anyway, it's too late now, it'll be in the programme.
My tent is spread out in the music room. It's dry by now but I need another pair of hands to fold it up.
Mr A is coming back on the train in 45 mins and I'm meeting him at the station. The curry's cooked and on the stove. The bad news is that there's only brown rice, which I love, but Mr A doesn't. Still, there's 4 small naan breads...

There's Frost on t.v. later, the detective. Same time as American Idol, but I can watch that another day. I haven't been following it for weeks and it's now down to 10 acts. There's a gap where Dr Who used to be...................

We are getting a big delivery tomorrow morning of roofing materials. Yes, we are going to have a new roof. Mr A will take time off work, pay a labourer and do it himself. I'm dreaded the disruption, but at least we can move to the house next door (holiday cottage) during the worst of it. After the insulation it will be warm and cosy for the winter.

Right! Time to make the salad!

Cheers! Marmite Central came a close second in choosing a name....

Try the beans!

Thanks. I'd rather hide away till it's all finished, still, it'll be very warm and cosy when done.
Glad you like the name!

If you are going to be dotcoms, I suggest that it must be compulsary to put a vid' on you tube after the event.

Fair enough. It will take all my technical know how, which is just about zilch!

I'm with Marika ;)

The usual week long camp is cancelled, but they are having a festival over a long weekend.
Glad you like the name. Now I just have to practice...

They desperately need bookings, so spread the word if you would. Do you fancy coming along? I know it's a long way, but you will have a great time!

I think perhaps next year. I have broached the subject with Himself but we just can't spare me for a few days this year.

I can imagine, what with your little 'uns that it's not easy just to go away. I trust he realises how lucky he is to have to run things smoothly?

Yeah, three kids is a bit cheeky to palm off on someone else. Particularly with one and her eating problems.

Try not to see it as a problem, more like something extra you do for her, (can't remember which one it is) which she will appreciate. Well, she will appreciate it if you tell her!

I think you've achieved a hell of a lot considering you do have 3 kids to care for.

Hello! I love naan bread too.

I put some mango chutney and lime pickle on the naan bread and use it to shovel up the curry.
Have a great weekend!
