SATURDAY 10^th/ MAY 2014.

No lie in this morning as we have lots to do to get ready for tomorrows ‘Sunday Roast’ – the Trifles are being prepared, the Lobster & Crab have to be opened and I‘ve got to go down to the butchers to pick up the ‘Lamb’- and I’ am also making a fresh bowl of ‘Ensaladilla Rusa’ later after the assistant/commis chef has prepared the ingredients! Oh and yes the ‘Steak a la Plancha’ need trimming/seasoning, the finely sliced Green Beans, sliced and the Baked Potatoes cooked for tonight’s supper!!

Meanwhile at the moment I’ am up in the office typing the Blog, as you can see on the large PC and watching the ‘BBC TV 1 Breakfast Show’ before ‘Saturday Morning Kitchen’ is on; one ‘Newsflash’ on Facebook this morning, David has just announced that the ‘New Moon Pub Company’ have acquired their 6^th site, where to be announced at a later date!

On 'SMK' one of the dish's today is 'Shoulder of Lamb' cooked on 'Boulangere Potatoes' !! 

All the sports main sports action is happening tomorrow, over in England it’s the final games in the ‘Premiere League’ as Manchester City welcome West Ham needing just one point to claim the title, Liverpool welcome Newcastle with just a small chance and Everton visit Hull; Here in ‘La Liga’ with two games to go Atletico Madrid travel down here to play Malaga,Elche welcome Barcelona and Real Madrid are at Celta De Vigo.

PS; Cycling is back you will be sorry to hear! The ‘Giro D’Italia’ started yesterday over in Belfast?!- With a team time trial in which Dan Martin crashed in the rain and is out for the tour! Also in the ladies ‘Tour of Britain’ Laura Trott crashed in a stage but is OK for today’s stage! Later last night I caught the highlights of the ‘Tour of Turkey’ Mark Cavendish won three stage sprints,came second in two and third in one! Turkey looked spectacular along the coast and up in the mountains before entering Istanbul.

We had the choice of three films to watch, “ Strike Back’ from 2011, “ John Carter’ from 2012 and the one we choose “ Haywire” from 2011 with unusually a female all action/martial arts lady that does all her own stunts ‘Gina Carano’!
