Close Encounters

After a hard day watching the motor racing, start six (or there abouts) in the morning with build up to F1 Korean GP, then Touring Cars, for most of the afternoon, for some light relief I tuned in to watch Close Encounters of The Third Kind 6.20 p.m (GMT) Channel Five.  Now Radio Times billed this as "A re-edited edition features an extended ending with views inside the mother ship".  Perhaps I blinked in the wrong place, but where were the views inside the mother ship?  Anyone any ideas?

Congratulations to Matt Neal for winning the BTCC at Silverstone, it was a very exciting three races.

With sad news that British racing driver Dan Wheldon has died after a crash in the final Indy Car race at the Las Vegas circuit, our thoughts are with his family.

All for now.

Better late than never.

Well, it's finally here, my tips and tricks report, the following is just a sample of the full report.

If you have not yet got one, then the purchase of a Turbo or Titan Peeler. http://www.asseenontvvideo.com/511654/Titan-Peeler.html is a good and worth while investment.

We'll start off with carrots.

You'll need some newspaper (Sunday Telegraph is a good choice) several sheets of newspaper or if no newspaper then some supermarket plastic shopping bags will do.

Notice the set up. I have arranged the Titan Peeler on the chopping board, the peelings of the carrots already done to the right of the board and the carrots to be done on the empty bag.

I start by topping and tailing the carrots, using a knife. Then I'll peel four carrots (This is just my choice, as I like small numbers). Then using a knife I'll chop two carrots together (This is entirely possible with a suitable knife).

I then empty the carrots into a colander, rinse and repeat until all the carrots in the bag are peeled and chopped. Once they are all done empty the carrots into the pan and cover with water.

If you'd like the full report, then you can purchase it for the grand total of ninety nine pence from the Lulu button on this blog.
