I do a damn good roast. I've been told by a certain somebody that lives with me that my roast chicken is actually better than that of said person's parental units' and I also a better crackling pig roast. My method is simple. Everything roasts at 400F for 30 minutes then 350F for the rest of the cooking time, with 35 minutes per pound total cook time. Works everytime.
Had a slow day today. We had our own little wine&cheese. We were supposed to go help decorate Penny's flat for xmas (Penny being one of Katy's workmates) but Katy was too tired to go out. She ended up napping part of the afternoon away. She didn't sleep well last night because her car got posessed and her alarm kept going off at random moments (I, of course, sleeping with ear plugs, heard nothing). Turns out that a door switch was faulty. A nice man from the RAC fixed it in less time than it took him to finish his tea (a local custom that I've picked up: offer tea to any serviceman that comes to your place)
Should be a slow week this week. I need to start working the paper I'm writing for BMC Bioinformatics. S'about it, really. Three weeks until Canadia, woot!
