I wasn't going to post today, but I just really enjoyed my lunch, and I thought I would see how many arses I could bore off the readership.
I resisted doing anything Christmassy - discussing presents or even holiday arrangements with Allie until it was December.
Now it is here, I'm beginning to feel incredibly festive.
There is a lone, plastic and sparsely decorated tree that has been placed on some empty desks in the corridor outside the office. It appeared, one day, and no one knows where it came from. It is a blinding reminder of the impersonality of business, and as such makes me chuckle every time I see it.
Lunch today. Mmm. I opted for Asda's 'Christmas Special' Wensleydale and Cranberry sandwich filling.
Wensleydale and Cranberry cheese, with cranberries, in a yoghurt and port mayonnaise.
Despite my concerns that it would taste like eating a lumpy six-month old Fruit Corner, it was luscious.
I am so damn festive that I am now up for a roast turkey and stuffing dessert.
Please leave all your arses in an orderly, countable pile in the corner, thank you.
that sandwich sounds revolting, but strangely, I want one.
I recommend the Pret vegetarian Christmas lunch sandwich if you don't mind the idea of parsnip or vegetarian haggis between bread. Very nice indeed.
Oh - you mean Pret (away in) a manger?
Surely vegetarian haggis is just...er...porridge?
As someone who has never eaten haggis, I must ask: is it really any good?
Haggis: principle ingredient - offal.
Well, it's meant to be. Carbohydrates are cheap, protein is expensive...even all those bits of protein that don't really get used for antyhing eles. A major filler is oats. Then there's all sorts of other fun stuff thrown in for good measure, and yeah, I like it.
Fulsome.
