Cultural conditioning
Barney woke up first, as he usually does, and wandered into our room in search of a mummy or a daddy who might be willing to get up and make him some breakfast.
Mummy got up, as she usually does, and through the landing window saw the snow covering everything outside, and still falling softly from above.
“Look Barney!” she cried. “Look at the snow!”
Barney couldn’t really see, because he’s not tall enough to see out of that window yet. Kate had to bend down and pick him up.
“Look at that Barney! Everything’s covered in snow. Wow, isn’t that exciting?”
Barney’s face lit up with a huge grin. His eyes shone.
“Snow!” he said. “It must be Christmas!”

Chilli Quorn chunks
Here’s a recipe I made up last night, one which turned out rather tasty. So I thought I’d share.
Ingredients
- One onion, finely chopped
- Two or three sticks of celery, finely chopped
- Half a fresh chilli, chopped
- One carrot, chopped small
- (A red pepper would probably be nice too, but I didn’t have any peppers.)
- One box (350g) Quorn chunks (aka “Chicken style pieces”)
- Two large teaspoons Bart red Thai curry paste
- A small sliver of creamed coconut
- Cheapo tin of chopped tomatoes
Howto
Fry up the onion, celery, chilli and carrot until soft. Throw in the Quorn chunks and get them nicely browned (this will need fairly constant stirring). Add the chopped tomatoes, then the curry paste and creamed coconut and anything else you’ve forgotten. Leave to simmer for a good 20 minutes (at least), during which time you can cook up some rice or some noodles to go with it. Yummy.
