Ian Parmenter: "Lid on, gas down, and allow to simmer at my favourite blub blub rate".

Creepy but quotable.

(And his enunciation revealed a relish for rolling rs.)

ah! lovely to see you surface now that it's over.
I could have predicted Mrs ColesMum was the greatest cook' on day 1
if I had seen a photo of her husband - he is prettier than she is.

Off now to watch The Swedish Chef of The Muppet Show - he makes those meatballs served at IKEA.

I think I meant (it's been so long) that the TV screen frames a kitchen workbench and associated kitchen-athletics and ingredients so well that cooking shows were always going to be a TV staple, like talking heads, panel shows or indeed, snooker. A person chopping onions is mesmeric and the voyeurism is perfectly tied in with the superobjective of selling things.

Confession: I did watch MC - and enjoyed it until the finals week, when the commercial agenda became rather blatant, and the Coles Continental Stock Mum was always going to win.
In fact, I became rather upset about this reality-show-injustice.
Luckily television, and its anxieties, are essentially ephemeral.

"Perfect TV" ... while most of the country is paralysed by ordinary people being humiliated in groups, I turn the receiver on for
Spooks, Hollowmen, Marple, Poirot, documentary accounts of financial swindles, and of cultured lives.
A 'Life Of Lautrec' and I'm there, last week it was the construction of a Steinway Grand - just rivetting.

Fat people crying is a shades-of grey-story, I like to go further than that - dead people! murder.

Perhaps if the losers were euthanased I would tune in.

This week's outrage at my place is
the total injustice of a stricken sportsman who has lead an exemplary life, embracing family and charity; when a self-indulgent drug-addled bag-of-pus footballer appears to be healthy despite himself.
just giving me the shits.

wishing you peace and love though.

confession:
I cannot watch anybody faffing about with food on TV.
Maggie and Mr.Bangles,
Gordo, those mad Japs, Peter Russel-Clarke, and the creepiest of all Ian Parmenter.
Cannot watch. erk.

transpose cosmetics for ingredients,
hook 5 in off the streets,
and challenge them to slap it all on and come out looking like
Posh or Paris or Pink.

maybe I could watch that.
