I was messaging my youngest. As she shares the family fascination with skeletons I have ordered a full-sized one for her, a teaching model. It's a surprise and is arriving today.

So now I need some bone-related puns to send to her. I've come up with 'Not cycling today as it's raining, tibia honest I don't fancy getting soaked!' which isn't top quality.

Come on you lot, I'm coming across as a bonehead! ;)

Taking a pineapple upside-down cake out of the oven. I'll go back in a minute and turn it out.
I've also set a syrup pudding to steam for the rest of the day and made Techy one of those breakfast-in-a-Yorkshire -pudding-with-a-fried-egg-on-top doings.

Little breather now, then back to the cooking. Dunno what's next, could be a fish pie with the massive monkfish I picked up in the week at £1-odd down from £23-odd or some crumpets using my new crumpet rings.

Used to have a nice Krupps cake mixer which eventually died of exhaustion. Current mixer is a hand whisk. I'll have muscles like Popeye.

Putting Monk fish in a pie is crinimal, it should just be threatened with heat until it loses it's transparency, and if you really must coated in a very light lime and coconut sauce. :dinner::)

WHAT a bargain!
It's currently in the freezer.

I have a disabled friend who loves fish pies as they are easy to eat. This will make two sumptuous pies.

Made a huge fish pie for export and a regular one for Techy. Monkfish in sauce with tinned tuna, frozen peas and fresh mushrooms.
The big one and a large syrup pudding are off to feed my greedy friend in a bit.

Is Absolute the radio equivalent of Dad's Army? "He's dead... he's dead... he's dead... nope, still alive..."

I used to do the fish markdowns for a well known supermarket about 5 or 6 years ago. Technically I was allowed to buy stuff myself that I'd marked down but as others were sometimes playing the system and getting fired I decided against doing that .. what you'd do instead was to get a work colleague to mark it down for you in case a manager got curious ...

One naughty thing I did sometimes do .... I had a couple of mates who were on benefits so out of work and skint, they came to my counter one day and were looking for the cheapest fish I had which was sprats ... I told them "If you want sprats, I'll sell you sprats .. but have you ever tried these scallops .. they're expensive though?" .. they hadn't so I chucked 4 large ones in a bag you can't see through, weighed them falsely as sprats which came to something like 67p, heat sealed the bag and printed off and stuck a sprats label on the bag. I didn't do that for anyone else and they never came begging to me. Instant sackable offence if you get caught doing that obviously.

NSFW .. bad language
