Lots of kind people have bought Toby's jewellery, and I, for some reason, strange I know seeing as I am primarily a card designer myself, have been buying greeting cards, just found another nice set from a fellow blogger, will show you soon!<BR/>I am like you with cooking, I love it, but rarely follow a receipe, I look out for inspiration then just chuck things in, havent yet tried cat food though (soozcat)! I think it's just the same as art, for me anyway, I imagine combinations of flavours, textures, etc in food, I picture and taste them in my imagination when I am adding them to the pot, as I do with shapes and colours with my work.<BR/>Lovely to read and see you blog G, as usual, thank you!<BR/>Penny.natural attrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932782598258944332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1165576438712486702006-12-08T11:13:00.000+00:002006-12-08T11:13:00.000+00:00Quick entry to say--that tomato and chickpea soup ...Quick entry to say--that tomato and chickpea soup is indeed divine.

It would go well with duck... You'd need to adjust the quantities, obviously.<BR/><BR/>CG, doing this to pheasant actually turns it into a whole different eating experience, and if you are cursed, sorry, blessed, with lots of them it's a good way of using them up quickly. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe Andy just walked in the door with a couple more...is there any escape?!Gretelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399585879728373265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1165417997495232372006-12-06T15:13:00.000+00:002006-12-06T15:13:00.000+00:00Thanks ever so for the link.

Do you pluck your pheasants? Strange question I know it's just that if you get given rather a lot during the season it can get a bit tedious, and Stuart's family (great pheasant eaters) skin those intended for the casserole pot. Pluck for roasting, skin for casserole apparently its much quicker. Have to say I leave all that stuff to the mem folk!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1165415952767185532006-12-06T14:39:00.000+00:002006-12-06T14:39:00.000+00:00What a marvelous post!I was so surprised to see so...What a marvelous post!I was so surprised to see so many pheasant in England several weeks ago. They are amazingly beautiful birds and it seems we have dwindled down to very very few here in the States - so sad. The "word picture" of tweed clad hunters with truckloads of pheasants and offering you a pair ... I can just see it! Quintessentially English (a very good thing)since the hunters here all wear jeans and bright orange jackets - fairly obnoxious though probably very safe! The pheasant recipe is fabulous ... wonder if it could be used with a different fowl/bird?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1165411679777399962006-12-06T13:27:00.000+00:002006-12-06T13:27:00.000+00:00It’s nice to read that you had an really good day!...It’s nice to read that you had an really good day!<BR/>The sticky pheasant looks yummy and I have taken notes and will give it a go over the Christmas period.Cotswoldgenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975961140007400390noreply@blogger.com
