Day Four Part Two (The Real Day Four)

OK The Post Above I Messed Up, That Was In Fact Day Three Posted On Day Four

The Real Day Four

Yes I had a brain storm yesterday and put down three as four. I could go up and edit it, but it is done now. Moving swiftly on: As I had been gassing on about food I thought I would put up a Photo of one of the empty Ale bottles from Tuesday night. This puppy was a 6.5% one and did the job nicely and having two of them lead to a very deep sleep.

Carrying on with the black kidney bean saga, I let the chili sit in the fridge an extra day, but still they were like a power inside. I soaked them for 24 hours, boiled them for 60 minutes before making the chili. So I have soaked some more for 48 hours, will boil them again for 90 minutes and try baking them this time. A plain French Tomato sauce this time I think. Wish me luck, I will find a way to make them taste good.

So The 40 day Thing

As I said I had the children with me last night, so the smoking thing was cool as I never smoked in front of them, in the house, out and about or in the car. So it was nice not having to sneak outside and spray on a bit of cologne after a quick wash on my return.  

We went off to the park played hard returned home and ate well, the baked potato seeming to be the fashion and ended up going to sleep early. As we were on the second day of sunshine and a good amount of heat, I had aired the flat and had another massive spring clean. The storms we have been having in the UK has brought down a lot of dust from where you never thought dust went. Hence my early night.

As I sound like an old house keeper up there, I best move on. I live in the center of Ivybridge, so I can hear the pubs folk getting merry. Last night their seemed to be some tension in the air, so was glad i was not out with them. The law say you have to have bouncers on the door now if a pub wants to stay open after midnight, alas they do very little to keep the bar in control. 

If I need a night out I go into Plymouth or nip off to another town to meet up with friends. My Pub of choice here is The Smithy as the Landlord is a Genius and the patrons seem more chilled. The bridge is another one I enjoy if I am back from a meeting and want to put the day to rest over a beer and a chat before dinner. After a bit of rabbiting there you should get the general idea that I am doing OK with the not drinking thing.

The brand is ready for the next step on Monday so I am busy resting the brain on that and tonight after the children has gone to sleep I will get back to work. They are with their mother in the day and come over for dinner and sleep over. I have the school run in the morning, which I love doing. 

As you can guess this is Sunday Morning of day five, today's big test is;

 I am cooking meat for the children, will I sample? Comment please . . . Also as this is the early days of the Blog, there are no tips for these Black Kidney Beans, looking forward. Have a splendid day, the sun is out and my windows are open.
