Bagpuss goes global (BBC Kent)

This is a fantastic idea, if you ask me! Very amusing. Apparently, it's a plush cat that goes with its owner to places all over the world. It was even left in that snow hotel in Northern Sweden!

What's for Valentine's?

Following a link in a magazine, I found an article about Jake Gyllenhaal online (right here, if you are interested). One of his tricks to get a girl is cooking, which he appears to be very good at. Below that information there was a link for another article: "Seduce him with delicious food." It's about the chemistry in the food, how it affects us physically. It's all in Danish.

I have yet to complete reading the article, but I might be able to use it. I will return to tell more about it.

So, this is the start of both this blog and a writing project! I love writing, but I rarely have the inspiration for an original story. So very much inspired by Jamie Oliver, I'm starting to collect recipes and whatnot for a cookbook!

I thought of this li'l sandwich when I came home from a late day of work. I almost started making it as I thought my stepfather hadn't eaten dinner - but before I could slice up the leftover chicken, he came out to make dinner for the both of us. So I pass this one on without even trying it first!

Ingredients:
2 slices of white bread
Filling:
Some leftover chicken
2 slices of turkey bacon
1 avocado
2 - 3 slices of feta cheese or likely (or if you can only get it cubed, a small handful of cubes, chopped up or crumbled).

Fry the bacon.
Slice up the chicken and give it a fry on the pan, just for the sake of the heat.
Toast the bred a bit.
Cut the avocado in halfs, remove the stone, and scrabe out the flesh with a spoon or a knife. Mash it.
Put the mashed avocado on both slices of bread.
Add the chicken on once of the slices, and the bacon on top of that.
Add the feta cheese on the other slice, and put it on top of the other slice (the filling facing each other). And VOILÁ!

Until I try it muself, I'd love to get some comments.
