kitchen arts/abuse - indeed

[anotheranon]

Much of today was spent in the kitchen.

First off, big Sunday breakfast because I fancied biscuits and gravy - the latter meaning bacon, and why not throw some eggs in there as well :P All turned out well, though the eggs would have been improved by applesauce.

Most of the afternoon was spent dyeing 36 yards of cotton twill tape purple to use as doublet trim - this counts as kitchen time as I did it stovetop with cheap/used pots/pans from my new favorite thrift store.

It turned out well - maybe too well, as it looks almost black - maybe lighter when it dries? At any rate it will provide enough contrast with the green linen of the doublet to have the desired effect.

Lastly I prepped for this slow cooker Moroccan lamb tagine. The spices smelled good; I'll find out tomorrow if it tastes to match.

Eating/waiting time was spent watching Laurie and Fry's Jeeves and Wooster with D. Jeeves is clearly an early member of The Company/Gentleman's Speculative Society (jlsjlsjls - Jeeves even has the broken nose! Incarnation of Alton Bell-Fairfax? :P). And Bertie Wooster is Batman, or should have been.

Still stuff to do...

Member, nothing ... Jeeves is likely the founder! ;-)
