Sleeeep...

Again not the best nights sleep I've ever had but I do feel a bit better today. Still coughing lots and sounding like Muttley from the Wacky Races cartoons.

Had a call from a very influential person in the catering trade yesterday (Private Chef to the future king of England for 11 years and founder of the Duchy Originals brand) who was thrilled that we'd found a business opportunity and that we are serious about giving it a go.

The call got off to a very bad start due to some crossed wires. I mentioned to them the premises in question and after what can only be described as a torrent of bad news and a firm warning to stay well away I suddenly realised that we were talking about two completely different places. The sigh of relief coming from the other end of the phone was all too apparent :-)

In the end the conversation turned to excitement and optimism with the promise that they'd be at the end of the phone if ever we needed anything and that they'd be glad to help in anyway possible in order to get our dream under way.

The studying is going well. I'm getting so involved and interested in this book that I just cannot wait to read the next page....I even learn't something about boiling water yesterday !! What may you ask is there that can possibly be learn't about plain old boiling water.............ERM..............A Lot :-)

More exciting news is that we've been given 4 freshly caught Trout (1 Rainbow & 3 Brown) which are currently in the fridge waiting to be turned into something yummy. My study book has a recipe in it for "Fillets of Sole Meuniére" which can be adapted for Trout methinks.

They are whole so should be fun gutting and filleting them later with Emily. She's mesmerised by all that kind of stuff. If she doesn't get involved in food in the future she'd make a wonderful Biology teacher or Veterinary Surgeon....Food Science or Science Science it's all the same to me....Science rocks !!

Picked up some Antibiotics this morning too and the information says -

"Amoxicillin capsules do not have known interactions with any food or drink. Alcohol may irritate your stomach if taken with amoxicillin, so use it with moderation."

I think that's a typo...Surely what it should say is -

"Amoxicillin capsules do not have known interactions with any food or drink. Alcohol may irritate your stomach if taken with amoxicillin, so use it with a couple of pints while in The Moderation."

For those not in the know "The Moderation" is a pub just round the corner from the Caversham house :-)

So once again I leave you fully topped up on my current affairs and wish you a wonderful day and .....ERM...Same time tomorrow.
