Another meal of victory

Lamb kofta, couscous, mint yogurt and a salad featuring sugarsnap peas. A dinner fit for a gentleman such as I

I don't know if this should just go without saying

Or if it implies that estates services have the choice of using regular paint or some special line which never dries

Sometimes I like to cook

This time I made truffles. Some cocoa dusted, some coated in nuts, some coated in an extra layer of chocolate and the last batch contained chunks of crystallised ginger. Good times were promptly had

Creepy rabbit man

This was for sale inside one of the many antique shops populating Versailles. It looks like it belongs in Labyrinth. I was constantly afraid that David Bowie would show up and start singing and thrusting at me,

"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah..."

Sadly, I didn't make a note of exactly how much it was. Now I'm kind of curious.

One day I woke up and this had happened

That night I found a man snowboarding down the hill. Good times. Not for the car trying to get past though (the snowboarder had made himself a little jump and pretty much blocked off the road).

Cheese platter at the Kingsdown Wine Vaults

Enough selection to even satiate the French! It was a really good platter actually. I recommend it to any and all who find themselves in Bristol craving cheese. Which could be a rather niche collection of people, I suppose.

Snow chickens

It doesn't really snow much in the UK, so I get very excited whenever it happens. These chickens were less than pleased, but somehow kind of cute. I like chickens but they really are filthy animals.

...the best snowman

It was so good that a man who had travelled here to make a snowman with his own offspring came along and offered us his carrot. So good, that photos were taken of ours rather than any other. So good that I had to shut my eyes in this photo.

We made...

Glass building front = fun colours on the ground

It must only happen at certain times of day, so we got lucky to catch this. I am really not sure if the architect intended for it to happen or if it is just a wonderful coincidence.

He died like he lived

Over a very extended period and with a variety of tools being involved. This was not actually as decadent a meal as it seems. Boston is big on seafood so oysters and lobsters aren't all that expensive.

Also, lobster itself seems to be more fun to eat than to taste. A bit of a shame, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Lobster

Lobster is what happened next.

The sea contains animals

And they all seem to be delicious. I had not eaten oysters before but they were on two for one at a place near the conference centre so we thought "why not?". We followed then up with clam chowder. Expenses are great, especially with what came next...

Boston has a pretty good metro

Sadly we never did find the treasure

I am not sure if this was an intentional joke
