Dining à la Hubbard

563 Views

I am once again without transport and on opening the fridge tonight in the hope of dinner, I was confronted with one chicken fillet, the remains of a bag of salad and an unopened bottle of Mâcon Solutré. The cupboard wasn’t much more inviting, having two jars of Tahini paste, one tube of tomato puree, two tins of sliced peaches and a box of Cornflakes.

Can’t cook wont cook. So this evenings concoction is chicken fillet in a white wine/sesame sauce. I’m sure the two garlic pittas in the bread bin will really round it all off into a plateful of not haute cuisine. I will enjoy it, in a half starved all day cheese and marmalade experimentally excessive Mâcon Solutré sort of way.

Please mister mechanic, fix me altenator by tomorrow.

I thought a hammer fixed them altar-nators. It must be tough living in the outback. I’m privileged to live near a bus route, a shop, a Chinese restaurant and lots and lots of antique shops. The food from the Chinese is always excellent but the food from the shop ‘one has to check if it’s out of date yet’ There is one problem I don’t live near a petrol station so I have to travel to Kircubbin, Carrowdore or Newtownards to fill up.

Aye but you have to know where to hit it.

Same fuel problem here too. I try to favour Newtownards since the prices are more realistic but more often than not I end up in Kircubbin running on fumes.

Nelly… it was surprisingly edible. Wine helps a lot.

Mister Boo it’s a big brute of a van, not a car and yes it’s fixed.
