Random Irritations

I'm now fully loaded with cold. 200 mile drive home tomorrow . More than the usual one stop required I suspect, to keep safe.

I’d pretty much given up finding a decent steak in the U.K., especially in a restaurant. I’d heard all the hype about steaks in Spain. It’s not hype at all. In 8 years I’ve had, maybe, 3 steaks that were rubbish. In the main, they’re unbelievably good.

Sadly, what I can’t get very easily is decent lamb. And what I can get is ridiculously expensive. As for lamb chops, they must be from dwarf lambs. They’re like lollipops on a stick, and two bites and they’re gone.

We're lucky in that we have a lamb every year for the feeezer thats raised in fields less than half a mile from us , just as tasty as the lambs we reared in New Zealand .
Still not found a steak that comes close to the ones we.had from our homekill ones in NZ , Dexter cross and Hereford cross and we had them hamg if for 21 days

She Who Must Be Obeyed has just gotten a well deserved promotion and pay rise (not the irritation) The irritation is that she is now my line manager at work and I fear that my work load is about to increase drastically.

And when you're at home you won't be able to bitch about your manager.

Will be interesting to see what difference is between the two.
As a side note last year we went to a very expensive restaurant in Edinburgh and I decided to choose the Wagyu beef that also wasn’t 100% Wagyu.

When the waiter asked how we liked our meal I did say I was disappointed and was expecting more.
I cooked a rib eye from Tesco the week before and that was just as good.

I did oven cook the Wagyu after searing and it was very nice. My wife commented on it.
But no more so, in my opinion than the Sainsbury ribeye will be, having cooked it many times before by the same method.
Given that the Wagyu was, per 100g, almost 50% dearer I shan't repeat the purchase.

Can't you report her to HR for harassing you outside working hours?

I've just seen a family of four moving into one of the potholes on our road.
