Method
1. Set up timer, switch on oven to 180 and switch on music.
2. Sing briefly.
3. Peel Potatoes and chop into roughly inch cubed pieces. Go through thumb with hacky hacky knife.
4. Shove on baked tray with glug of olive oil and rosemary leaves.
5. Shove in oven and slice up all other veg apart from melon.
6. Get giant pan of love, skip to a track you like, switch hob to high and mini glug of olive oil.
7. Get scissors and snip chicken chunks into warming pan. Nod head in time to music (Important).
8. Shuffle pan in a interesting way then bung in veggies. Give another stylish shuffle.
9. Hear about K-chans poor rusting car and give advice on new car.
10. Open can of tomatoes and shove in pan.
11. Put spoon of corn/plainflour into empty can and fill with cold water and a dash of balsamic. When flour mostly dissolved shove into pan. Mix it. Whack up heat and leave to boil.
12. Doa little dance, weigh out caster and marg. Blitz with mixer. Hear more about poor dead car.
13. Crack eggs into pot or mug and cover with cling film. Shake vigorously as you are shuffling the pan of love at the same time.
14. Add egglets to mixy bowl and blitz the crap out of.
15. Break up dark chocoalte into bowl and microwave. As it is going round and round do a little air guitar as you are blitzing in the flour. When choc melted, mix half in, leaving other half aside.
16. Shove in cake tin/deep baking tray and bung in over. At the same time get out the potatoes and shovel them around a bit to get the whole veness thing going. Hum in time to music, bung potatoes back in and stir tomato mix.
17. Hack up melon into finger style things, wrap each finger in a half piece of fancy ham. Sprinkle with balsamic if you like.
18. Pause music, serve starter, eat starter, field surprised comments from K-chan.
19. Get out potatoes, test the cake by shoving knife in, if clean and the mixture not bubbling then cooked. Turn out onto cooling rack (or the clean grill)
20. Serve up potatoes and Mischiare (which should be more than ready, you can even put a basil leaf on it if you like).
21. Quickly spread remaining melted chocllate on top of sponge cake and sprinkle random decoration on it (I have hundreds and thousands but icing sugar just as cool).
22. Serve up main meal - field more comments from K-chan
23. Ignore the washing up.

The little weekend in London was nice, especially going to the Comedy Store and watching Paul Merton, Mike Mcshane and Phil Jupitus do improv with three other guys. It was funny. We also had delicieux burgers in the pub next door beforehand. Did a little christmas shopping in Fortnum and Masons too (don't look at me like that - they sell salted milk chocolate that I love). Me and K-chan each bought a christmas deocration for our first joint christmasd tree. He bought a glass icicle with spun glass inside it and I bought a Snowbird ornament with glass beads and feathers. So pretty.

Spent today doing errands including getitng hair cut by a very questionable hairdresser (my regular lady wasn't there but the young thing seemed so sparky I didn't have the heart to say no). It's not bad but not the best I've had. Also finally gained a tablecloth for LolTable, hoovered the car, did the shopping and tidied up. I feel accomplished.

On another note. New manga? Can I get it. Can I bollox...
