I wouldn't have a whole quail again. Too much hassle to get the meat off. I'd also change the recipe for the potatoes to more suit my taste. Less stock for one! Still, I tried.
Never had them. My dad and uncle used to hunt for ducks when I was a kid but never ate them, they gave them to the Asian neighbour.

An 18th-century building is gone, and Glasgow’s Central Station is closed indefinitely along with the Grand Central Hotel, (the main entrance building next to the burnt shell). This will have a huge impact on many people, from commuters to employees in nearby businesses affected by the closures. My daughter’s friend, who works at the hotel, now has no idea when she’ll be allowed to return to work. All this happened because a vape shop caught fire, and since a would-be hero had to run to another… See More
shop for a fire extinguisher, it seems there was no way to put out the flames in a place packed with hundreds, if not thousands, of flammable items. If tackled immediately, it’s entirely possible this could have been prevented or at least contained until help arrived.
ood morning my friends. It's my weekly day off (apart from Sundays) and I'm glad for it. My wife kindly shared her cold with me and I feel bleh!
So, rather than mope I decided to cook, since I do love my food. For lunch I'm going to make a fresh mushroom soup with garlic bread and then for dinner I'm going for something I've never cooked before: Roasted quail served on a bed of pommes boulangère with asparagus tips. We were given the quail by a friend (4 of the cute little things) so I thought… See More
I'd do a classic French dish with them.
Cooking takes my mind off things so I'm just going to put on some music and have fun. Once all the prep is done I'll game a little until it's time to cook.
What are you up to today?
That sounds amazing... what's your address again? Put an extra plate on for me I shan't be long..

oodnight folks. Been out for the day in Edinburgh with Claire. The first was a gallery with Renaissance sketches (500-550 years old, roughly) on show where I found out that many of them did the sketches for major works but other people then followed their drawings to do the final works on buildings and ornamental objects. A bit like an architect draws the building and others build it.
Second thing was us laying on beanbags in the most beautiful of buildings (The McEwan Hall-look it up) with classical… See More
music playing and a lightshow on the walls and very high ceiling above. Thankfully that wasn't too long because I don't find beanbags very comfortable.
After a week off I'm back to work tomorrow, but I have another week off in a couple of weeks. Yay!
Bowling and his cousin, Cannon, find bean bag loungers to be quite comfy.

Speaking of GoT, do any of you have the Song of Ice and Fire books? I borrowed and read the first (Game of Thrones) and second (Clash of Kings) back in high school. Some of the only few novels my teenage ADHD brain ever read.
