A funny thing happened this morning, I got an e-mail informing me that blogger was missing me!!!!! How can that be true when no one reads them!!!!!

Hog Roast for the Races...May

It's almost time for my new MK11 Hog Roast machine to hit the road. MK1 was a rather stumpy affair which was problematic when it came to attach a full 60 or 70 kilo pig. What I had to do was remove the saddle of the beast and cook that separately in my kitchen. Now I have completely redesigned the machine by welding two Oil drums together and widening the framework. The heaters are now situated on the outside of the drum in order to give better clearance on the inside for the beast to spin round on the spit.

I will be improving the flavour of the Pig this year with Oak chippings that will smoke slowly in the bottom of the drum which will give the pig a real smoky flavour when it is cooking. The Pig will be stuffed with my secret stuffing mix to give that wonderful flavour that can only be achieved by slowly cooking a pig on a spit.
Cooking time will take between six and seven hours so it means that I will be up at three am to ensure that the beast is ready for around ten am. The pork will be served on sesame buns with a serving of my own special sage and onion stuffing or apple sauce.  My first outing this year will be at Cartmel Races-in Cumbria  on Bank Holiday Monday In the village square. For further details contact me on hogroastsrus@gmail.com
Mind you looking at the weather outside right now I think an Ark would be the desired mode of transport.

Pakistan did not know about Bin Liner...Don't make me laugh!

So for about six years Bin Laden lived a quiet secluded life in Pakistan, and the authorities say that they knew absolutely nothing about him being there... .MMmmmm....! I'll bet they didn't. But I I will bet my last tenner that many people in high places in Pakistan, were filling their pockets from his hush money every week.
For the record, Pakistan is one of the most corrupt places on the planet and if there is a fiddle to be made you can bet your last dollar that the Pakistani will find it. This is for the very same reason that when they come to this country they will only be employed in cash rich businesses such as Taxi driving or Kebab houses and restaurants...That way you see, they do not have to pay as much in tax as the rest of us. Perhaps if Pakistan did a census every now and again and if they had a tax system that made most of their population accountable they would have a much better idea of who is actually living in the country.Plus the fact that when they pulled in the revenue that this would generate, they might be able to feed and treat their sick with medicine instead of holding their hand out in the UK's direction all the time. Maybe some of the scrounging influx that we have here might decide to return home!Well that's my rant of the week over. No one reads them anyway....Tara
