MY troops have been extra busy this last few days erecting a new 10" x 6" garden shed, which I will turn into part railway workshop and part messy area for resin casting , plaster work, wood work and paint spraying. Well I have done very little towards it being under constant threat of annihilation by my kinder, should I use my left arm (post pacemaker insertion), though I did have a bit of a go today when no one was looking. I am quite exited about the prospect of having somewhere to do the messy stuff away from the house and be able to implement some new (old ) ideas and projects which I have had in waiting for some years. Pictures to come as things progress. Meanwhile, now feeling quite knackered with knees hips and left shoulder about to seize up completely, I thought something good for dinner might be in order and a look at the box for a few hours with a glass of Chivas Regal.
I am really fortunate in having six kindly kinder who shower me with heaven sent goodies and Daughter and Son in Law, Gemma and Daniel, yesterday gave me two steaks of Wild Boar.
I have not eaten Wild Boar since last in Poland so I thought a salad and pop it on the griddle with just some light seasoning of sea salt flakes and black pepper. I made up an interesting little dressing , with diet in mind, of four desert spoons of Fat Free Yoghurt, juice of half a lemon, teaspoon of Cumin powder, small handful of fresh chopped mint a little salt and pepper and finally a teaspoon of runny honey. It was superb! The wild boar wasn't in the least tough and the dressing complimented it all. I would thoroughly recommend shed building to all, you never know where or what you will be eating for dinner until you build a railway workshop.
