Food, computing, sign language…

Published by Dougal at 10:40 pm under Computing, Food, Sign Language

Check out the fun time I had cooking burger and fries from Nigella Express. You should try the chips recipe, it’s great fun. You get a freezer bag and put a bunch of new potatoes inside. Then you get a rolling pin and beat the crap out of the little blighters. And then when they’re little chunks — or when you’re tired, whichever comes first — you fry ‘em up. She suggests shallow fry but I think a deep fry would be give a crisper, more golden finish.

Getting nice new potatoes is probably quite important too. The only ones I could get in Somerfield were a bit tired.

I had a deep philosophical conversation with Martin earlier and came to the conclusion that the green Eee was the way to go. (Thanks for the encouragement Calum; you’re still invited for Nigella-food some time!) So I ordered it, and hope to get it within a week. (Finding somewhere that stocked it was harder than I expected.)

Meanwhile, I have to think up, practise, and then record, a ~3 minute presentation for my next BSL assessment. I hate these things where you have talk about your hobby or whatever because I never know what to say. I had this paralysis in school with French essays and it hasn’t really got any easier. Must get thinking…

    Tell them about your blog, or failing that making hamburgers

    I figured when you didn’t follow up that you’d make your own decision - enjoy your Eee!

    I take it that since you say it’s green that it’s one of the Surf models? I haven’t seen one of those “in the flesh”.

    @Lizzie:

    Ah, but what do you think Helen is presenting about! ;-)

    @Calum:

    I’m not 100% sure but it looks like the 4G Surf is what I’m getting. More next week when it arrives!
