.... my fantastic Sunday meal - extremely delicious!
Similar to a Cannoli, this is a Cannelloni Dessert. Apparently from Northern Italy in lieu of Southern and a tad healthier. This one is hazelnut chocolate. And yes it was as delicious as it looks.

I do admit this is not one of the healthiest foods I've ever made. But sometimes I just crave the unhealthiness of lots of cheese and filled pasta. The filling of the canneloni is made of meat (half beef half pork), fresh tomatos, lots of herbs and garlic. Then the filled canneloni are generously covered with a béchamel sauce, some fresh parmigiano reggiano and mozzarella di bufala campana. Perfect with some Valpolicella - even if I am a mineral water drinker most of the time...

I thought I'd tied my ponytail straight. Apparently not. I spent the whole day like that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent Tuesday & Wednesday kinda down, so no point in uploading. I was at a loss as to what to do with myself.
Thursday was good - I had a driving lesson (I made it out of Oswestry all the way to Whittington! I went past the Orthopaedic, & then ended up doing a 3 point turn at Oswestry Rugby Club, fewer people around than having to do it in a residential street like last week). Then my Mom drove me to Wrexham. We had lunch at Frankie & Benny's (garlic dough balls & canneloni) & then we went to see Dorain Gray. It was okay. Not brilliant. I thought the deviations from the book were done badly. There were only 5 other people in the cinema that day, & I knew 4 of them. One was Tom Goulding from my GCSE English class with his dad, & the other was a boy who used to have a crush on me with his mother. That one was awkward. I didn't say hi. Didn't want to draw attention to myself.
Afterwards we had drinks in Costa downstairs, & then went to see (500) Days of Summer. It was really good. We also had ice cream & popcorn for dinner. The film was great. & there were only 2 others watching it. You should go see it.
Yesterday I had lunch with my Mom & read Villette for a while. At lunch my Mom agreed to go for a walk with me & so later on we ended up at Tesco, buying the things I forgot, & stuff we'd run out of. On the way my Mom remarked at how beautiful the area is. It really is. We stopped on the canal bridge & watched everyone for ages. It was lovely. We were almost at Tesco, but we had to pass a group of chavs. They kindly remarked that they'd get lost in my tits. I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to tell them that they'd never get the chance. But that really got to me. I have such an aversion to people like that.
We went for tea & hot chocolate to Coco's (where they have 6 tables - I counted this time - & yet said I didn't have enough experience to waitress there. Bastards.) & then down to Tesco. After we got everything I insisted we called my Dad to come & pick us up because I would not walk past the chavs again. It was either that or to walk the long way home, so my Mom agreed & we called my Dad.
After he dropped us off home my Mom made us all dinner, & then we went out to the theatre. The play we were going to was called 'The Browning Version', but before that was a 20min Chekhov play called 'Swansong'. I was so distracted through that piece because the man I was next to had a whistling nose, so I insisted I swictched places with my brother afterwards.
'The Browning Version' was abasolutely amazing. Brilliant. Peter Bowles was supposed to be the lead, but he was ill, & I'm pretty sure his understudy was better. He was just superb. I was on the verge of tears at one point. If you ever have the chance to see it, then do. We had a drink in the bar afterwards, & then as we walked to the car the air was so amazingly delicious. Seriously. I just wanted to bottle it so I could breathe it later. My brother told me to stop being ridiculous - it was Welsh air, & there was nothing special about it, but wow. It was just lovely.
& then I came home & took this photo with his help in the garden, sometime after midnight. The rest of today has been spent reading, watching TV, & just relaxing. Kate called me this evening - just as I was saying to my parents that if she needed to get in contact with my she should call my home phone, which made the whole thing so spooky - & said she needs me to work the whole day tomorrow. Another £50, but I will be complaining about my feet.

Birth of a dynasty
THE $110 million redevelopment of the former Village City Centre complex into an Asian dining hub has signed Shanghai's Dynasty for a 600-seat restaurant.
The press release touts the signing of Dynasty, a Cantonese and dim sum specialist based at Shanghai's Renaissance Yangtze Hotel, as a coup for the LAS Group's commercial redevelopment of the Bourke Street site, which backs on to Chinatown.
Dynasty joins the 120-seat Bund, which will also boast two five-tonne shark tanks, and the expansion of former lord mayor John So's Dragon Boat, which is taking over two floors and will have a large open-air balcony. All going to plan, most of the complex will open by mid-month and Dynasty just before Christmas.
- Dynasty (Man Fu Lou), Renaissance Yangtze Shanghai Hotel - Frommer's Long regarded as one of Shanghai's top Cantonese restaurants, Dynasty boasts the same chefs (many from Hong Kong) who routinely cater dinners for visiting heads of state at special banquets and luncheons.

Day 230: So FatherInLaw dropped us at Heathrow T5 in plenty of time (about 5.15am!) we checked in luggage and went through security. Wandered about and picked up some security pouches - we've gotten a bit nervous at the reported level of pick-pocketing in Barcelona. Also got some sandwiches as I didn't want to try to survive until lunch on just two weetabix. Good old Boots at the airport is turning into tradition. Didn't seem like too long before we were boarding and after long taxi we were off. Unexpectedly got coffee juice and a sandwich on the plane. Flight over was pretty smooth and we got nice views over the hills of southern France. Once in Barcelona we were quickly into reclaim and got our cases ok but not the car-seat. A lot of wandering and conferring with a family also 'sans buggy' we got to the special luggage belt. Ages later discovered that there was another one at the other end which is where our car-seat was. Sorted. Then we went through to arrivals and got some water. Then decided to eat as it was getting on a bit. So had some rip-off sarnies (though my warm focaccia was quite nice has to be said). Then queued for hire car with rude butting-in-man getting short shrift from the nice Avis lady dealing with me. Got "upgraded" to BMW 1 series. When we got to collection point there was even more waiting to be told our Beemer was broken so we got a better car for same price. A big Seat Exeo which easily held our luggage. Getting out the multi-storey was a bit hairy, lots of tight ramps, then we were onto a main road to hotel. Unfortunately satnav had other ideas and took us off into town along the coast. We were at the front of the queue when the police woman stopped traffic at a junction blocked by a burning car so we got front row view of the fire engine arriving (looked like he almost forgot to stop) then dousing it with loads of water. Probably only held up 10 minutes but it was fun - pity there wasn't a camera handy.
Got to hotel and drive all the way round the block to find parking entrance which was a very, very, very tight underground nightmare. Even in a car you hadn't only driven 10K. So we resolved not to move the car until we checked out. After the usual post check-in faff and grief over the "family" room only being a double plus double sofa bed we set off into town to visit La Rambla. Metro to Catalunya and we were there hand securely on wallet. Half way down we stopped at "15 nits" restaurant for pretty decent meal (I had vegetables to start and tuna Canneloni for main - no dessert!). Also detoured off into a covered market for a few minutes which was colourful but very busy. At end of La Rambla there were a few human statue things including a weird alien who gave head massages which included an occasional slap one young man didn't like this esp when the crowd laughed and it looked briefly like he was going to hit the statue but thankfully he decided to grump away. Then down to waterfront and the wavy bridge then onto Barcelona cathedral (outside only). Son had some fun trying to blow giant bubbles with a street entertainer not bad for just one euro. Around the corner from this was another street thing where Members of the Public put fireworks on their head. Nuts! Metro back to hotel where we made use of top floor terrace as kids went paddling and swimming. Then to bed what a busy day!
The photo of the day is La Rambla. Not by any means the best photo I took today, but it captures - for me - that feeling of having woken up in a cold, dark place and by early afternoon I'm basking in hot sunshine in a vibrant, foreign (in a good way!) place.
Checking out the Canneloni du Curé, in Percé, Gaspésie. A pretty but elusive and commiting climb: it has a reputation for collapsing on a regular basis. We ended up not climbing it: It was pretty to look at, but those flutings sure didn't look too secure.
Départ de la longueur-clé, tout en délicats choux-fleurs et colonnettes.

another delicious meal on board the SuperStar Gemini during our cruise of the Malacca Straits.......... this one being:
Seafood Cannelloni in spicy tomato syrup with crispy calamari and garlic lemon oil
Cannelloni usually refers to rectangular pasta sheets that are rolled with a filling. However, sometimes the pasta dough is replaced with a cooked crepe, generally 3 to 4 inches in length and once rolled, one inch in diameter. After cooking the crepe (or boiling the pasta), it is typically filled with a savory stuffing which may include ricotta cheese, spinach, and various meats. It is then covered with a sauce, typically classic tomato or bechamel sauce, although many variations exist. Canneloni is often confused with manicotti, the major difference being that manicotti are preshaped tubes. (Food lover's Companion, third edition, Sharon Tyler Herbst, copyright 2001 Barron's Educational Series, inc.)
The cannelloni was invented in 1907 at the restaurant La Favorita better know as the 'O Parrucchiano in Sorrento, Italy by the chef Nicola Federico.
They were known as strascinati because the pasta was rolled and stretched by a rolling pin. They acquired a remarkable reputation along with the chef Nicola Federico (born in Naples July 2, 1891) who moved to Sorrento at a young age and married the young Sorrentina, Fortunata Scarpati (born December 26, 1901). Nicola worked in the restaurant for 31 years and became famous because of the Zeppole di San Giuseppe and the strascinati, which in the meantime had taken the name cannelloni.
During the Second World War, with many families moving to Sorrento from Naples to escape the bombings, the cannelloni experienced a boom and became the popular dish of the restaurant particularly on Sundays. It was recalled that 120kg of pasta was prepared and completely consumed in one day.
Here we have the asparagus canneloni, tagliatelle with minced bird meat, Barera wine from the house and the antipasto of three dishes.
After two-and-a-half days of walking around Turin, and with the sun beating down, we decided we could treat ourselves to a nice Easter Sunday lunch. Mario had taken us to Piazza Filiberto Emmanuele for an ice cream the evening before and it seemd to be the right sort of place to go to find good food. We did very well, finding this place serving a gastronomic menu of local cuisine for a very nice price, whilst seated outside on the terrace watching the world go by. Just what we needd to rest our feet, not exactly what our already bloated tummies needed, by the way.
The menu above shows that we would be served:
Crudites with a nut sauce (with hidden anchovies which Fred detests)
Ham and egg in aspic
Rabbit meat
Sweet caramellised onion
Asparagus canneloni with cheese sauce
Tagliatelle with some minced bird meat and herbs
Goat cutlets and veal marinated in herbs
It was delicious!!!
...never trust anybody serving industrial made pasta as true homemade spaghetti, ravioli or canneloni.
The arguments for going good old mamas way are manyfold - the most important are:
1.) According to the great visionary Lenin* who had lately rather bad international press:
"better one controls what goes into the nudel"
In my case as a purist only water and original italian semola de grano duro
Basta -pasta
In industrial artificially made nudels many chemicals are added to enhance machinery reliability in individual stages in the different industrial processes. Igitt
2.) At home no high pressure extruder pumps the dough trough holes (breaking the otherwise robust "kleber" strings build up in/by resting the dought)
The dough is rolled by hand and carefully cutted with a chefs-knife (by using a little italian trick - just ask) to the preferred size.
3.) The industrial high temperature drying process (bringing the moisture content as quick as possible down to 5% for rapid packing) kills the spaghettis taste and texture by cracking the starch molecule structure open.
What remains are industrial made, rubber-like & uniform stripes of cheap dried junk food without the valuable nutrients, contents and haptic feel a honest made pasta is so apreciated for. One gets instead a lot of chemicals.
So I stay whenever possible to la mama's good old fashioned way of preparing food.
*Original quote from Lenin was: trust is good, control is better"
Canneloni Catalonian-style at Le Bistro Sensi. (Something similar was on all the tapas menus we saw that week.)
We had lunch at one of the Kosher places in the Jewish quarter - really excellent food! The friend artichokes were such a unique dish...
For some reason Italians make the best Italian Food.

Formerly known as Imperial Kingdom Chinese Restaurant 王国酒家.
This was an idea I had for lunch recently. Canneloni stuffed with pesto on a bed of couscous with lemon juice, surrounded by salad. It tasted nice. Presentation wasn't the best - but it could have been worse.
This was simply amazing. The cannelloni was translucent, yet al dente. The crème was a subtle white chocolate (and marscapone). Served with raspberry sorbet & roasted nuts. Perfect!
Coppa ham, pickled vegetable & focaccia.
Pumpkin & ricotta canneloni, sage & walnut.
Lamb neck stew, braised cabbage & salsa verde.

Feb 27th 2010
We already had a plan for today.
We visited the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham as planned. My engagement ring needed re-sizing, which took 1hr, and we had a drink and a wander whilst we waited. Paul wanted to show me all the different jewellers he'd visited in the process of deciding which ring to buy.
There are lots of jewellers in the Quarter, mainly catering for Diamond Engagement Rings and Wedding Rings. Apart from London it is the specialist place to visit in UK for diamonds.
In the end Paul bought my ring at S.P.Green. Like all the shops, the outside does not exactly draw your eye in. Inside the jewellers offers a professional and personal service. These jewellers were far friendlier than some we had met a New Year when we went ring shopping with Stephen and Susie. We definitely met some 'characters' on that day.
From there we headed to Sarah's house in the studenty area of Selly Oak. I realised that I couldn't go back to being a undergrad. Good thing probably! (That's not to say I didn't enjoy it at the time and am glad I've had the chance and would recommend it to anyone).
We took the train into Birmingham from Selly Oak. We planned to see a film and get some food. It was getting relatively late because Paul had had to faff about with Sarah's computer which was displaying nasty messages about virus protection, which had made it stop working (don't know the exact details but took a while).
We first went for a quick wander in the Bull Ring. We headed into Debenhams as there is a wedding service section. I expected to see loads of dresses but there wasn't much at all. Took the pic in the mirror there. Paul is there too somewhere.
We asked Sarah to be Bridesmaid and she agreed. We didn't discuss dresses or anything. Too early yet.
From the Bull Ring we headed to eat at Brindley Place and after some faffing due to lots of places being booked, we headed to Pizza Express. Sarah and I had spinach and ricotta canneloni which was lovely.
We were going to go the cinema. There was an AMC up the road so we went there. To be honest, there wasn't much on. Me and Sarah chose Leap Year - a rom-com set in Ireland (and filmed in parts of Galway so we thought Susie would like it).
Leaving the cinema we walked to the Station. Instead of heading back into Birmingham we went to a more local station. It was a little dark and a tad scarey. Thank goodness there were three of us.
We saw that Sarah got back safe and set off to drive home. Paul was annoyed because we had really been blocked in. Took a few turns to get us out.
The journey home, of what should have taken 1/2 hr, took 1.5hrs via every part of the West Midlands. The M6 was closed which meant we had to go through the various towns rather than skirt past them.
