The ID of an English Woman
Its been one of those days when time just got away from me and my best intentions of inflicting another culinary master piece on Family Clog disappeared down the pan.
A combination of work and a knackered boiler scuttled my plans for making Coq Au Van, the recipe of which, I had found in the 'Four Seasons Cookery Book' written by Margaret Costa. Lack of time meant that I resorted in feeding the Clogs store bought Chicken Cordon Bleu, mashed potatoes and frozen pea's. What a let down. I did feel somewhat indignant as I watched them tuck into the overly orange chicken as if they had been deprived of nourishment for the last 96 hours.
Thursday - Coq Au Van
Failed attempt - I sacrificed a good dinner for warmth and hot water!
The Heating Engineer was very pleasant sort of chap who commended the Cloggy Residential Boiler in
its efforts to provide us with heat and hot water over the last year but quickly followed up his praise with "It's completely Knackered and there's Bugger all I can do to fix it - you'd best
get a new one and quickly"!
The Dinosaur is 20 years old and its fought the valiant fight but there comes a time when its better to chuck out the old and bring in the new. Cloggy is shakin in his boots not only in
anticipation of the bill but also because I have known him a bloody long time too!
