Thursday Likes on time for a miracle.
You know what I like?
I like cooking. I also like gin.
On Saturday last, I had a Ginner Party.
Three courses. All dishes involved a matched gin.
Entree - Tanqueray cured red snapper
Main - Old Raj, lemon and saffron risotto with my special roast chicken (I slice chorizo and stuff this and butter between the skin and the meat prior to cooking).
Dessert- Hendrick's and tonic sorbet. served in gin and tonic.
There were five different bottles of quality gin in my house. The food was pretty great. My house was populated with some of my favourite people.
What's not to like?

I like pirates and I like making stuff. I was taught to sew and knit as soon as my fingers could hold the needles. It was a way of keeping me out of trouble. It was suggested that I become an engineer, so I went to see what that meant. I did a fashion degree. I did a physics degree. Now I get crafty to keep my sanity from my day job. It almost works. Here's some of the stuff I make. I also make things for other people. If you want me to make you stuff, email me.
