As usual my eagerly awaited printing inks were found on the doorstep this afternoon, despite no-one having knocked.
I was therefore forced to continue my chicken stock creation from recently roasted bones, applying Becky’s flavoursome method; simultaneously printing 61 more of Karen and Barry’s wedding photographs;
and progressing my reading of ‘The Moonstone’.
Great care was taken to keep both book and prints grease-free.
Tonight’s dinner was slow roasted pork with crunchy crackling; Bramley apple sauce; tender green beans; firm Brussels sprouts , and tasty gravy. As can be seen I had begun my penultimate glass of the Saint-Emilion before the meal, as had Jackie her Hoegaarden.
I’m impressed with your ability to avoid any cross contamination. Bravo!

Thanks very much, Pat
A very productive day of multitasking!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Your dinners always sound so good…..
Thanks very much, Kim
A busy day for you, Derrick.
Thanks very much, John
You cook too? Is tnere no end to your talents, Derrick?
Actually I don’t really cook much at all now, Sheree, but there have been times when I have done it all, notably when Jackie was still working. Thanks very much
Congrats on all you got done, Derrick!
Thank you very much, Maj
“Great care was taken to keep both book and prints grease-free” – we need a fully illustrated guide to show how you did that.
That got my attention too. lol. If I have even a little bit of sunscreen on, I manage to spread it everywhere. I would not ever try to go from cooking to photo printing to book reading under any circumstances.
I am past my deadline on the photos because the inks took so long. Needs must.
Thanks a lot, Tootlepedal. That would have been a task too far
For a ‘bloke’ you seemed to handle your multi-tasking projects with aplomb Derrick …
Very unusual, Ivor. Cheers
Wow, you can multitask. Please teach me Sir. Most days I canāt singletask..
Thanks a lot, Gary š
It would take serious attention and a sharp mind to keep the prints and book grease free. I am impressed.
Constant hand-washing, JoAnna. š Thanks very much
Youāre like the energizer bunny!
Would that I were š Thank you very much, Jill
Busy, busy!
Thanks very much, Laurie
Chicken stock is always good to have on hand; I envy your postal system – even if no-one knocked (ours is defunct and we rely on courier services – they phone when they get to the gate); love the fact that you sip wine while you read; and am glad your day was rounded off with such a fine meal.
Thank you very much, Anne. The delivery was by UPS. The post person would have knocked.
Great job of multitasking!
So glad the things you did not want greasy remained grease-free. š š
(((HUGS))) š
Thanks very much, Carolyn X
Cooking and reading sound like good multitasking companions. We make bone broth here, too.
Thanks very much, Lavinia
I enjoy reading about what you had for dinner. It is continuity. Meals are so important. After all is done, one has supper. š
Your multitasking skills are impressive, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Eugi
Does chicken stock make a good substitute for printer ink?
Fortunately I didn’t try it, Andrew. Cheers
A good job of multi-tasking, Derrick! ?
Thanks very much, Merril
You were seriously multitasking Derrick! Your meal sounded delicious!
Thanks very much, Aletta
Sounds like you had one of those days where tasks were completed in a relaxed mode, but much was achieved.
Thank you so much, Sue. I was amazed at how tired I was at the end
You achieved more than I could!
Multitasking indeed! It’s not easy to keep the rest grease-free while you’re in the kitchen ? Congratulations!
Thank you very much Ribana. You would know
I’m restarting reading your blog at this post – now that I’m home and feeling a less ill – and there isn’t a flower or animal to see, but I’m sure the next post will fix that…
Thanks very much, Catherine. I am pleased you are feeling somewhat better
