And now he goes skiing

That’s right, readers, I have gone to Bulgaria. Why? To go skiing (read the damn title) and to meet up with the Burns family (Our Travel Lifestyle). And it’s been fun. Apart from a few incidents, it’s been fantastic. Summary:

Day 1: Around 60 mins of snowboard lessons, another hour of using snowboards as toboggans, ten minutes of falling over on the training slope.

Day 2: Switched back to skiing. Did a few refreshers. Got back to my former level of confidence and gung-ho-ness.

Day 3 : Tackled brutal Bulgarian ski runs. Ski’d down to the bottom cable car.

Day 4: Skived with mum. Ahhh, blissful Minecraft.

Day 5: Back to the slopes. I enjoyed myself, but there was lots of wind on the top- which we ski’d through.

Day 6: Learned to do parallel turns with Emil, the mountain’s best extreme ski-er.

Day 7: Hurt my arm on a red. Then I went right up top. I was going to ski right down to the bottom, but then I messed up and badly bruised my shin. And that’s just lovely, innit?

Day 8:  That’s today. So I started with a skype-based maths lesson. I then worked my way up into another bruise on the same shin (ow!) and whimpered my way down (with a lot of help) to the middle cable car. Thanks, Emil!

Day 987: The  Earth is invaded by Martians and Humanity is wiped out.

Now what? Now we spend two to three more days ski-ing and then go to, um, Plovdiv. And then we go to Sofia. And fly back to England. Hooray. T_T Okay. That’s it. Thanks for suffering through this.

 TROLOLOL!!!

My Yummy Curry

Hello readers! I’m tapping out another recipe!
You will need:
•Chicken (breast or leg bit)
•Coriander (preferably ground)
•Cumin seeds
•Ground turmeric
•Cayenne pepper (again, ground)
•Salt
•Liquid stock (or chicken oxo and water)
•Frying oil (or congealed beef dripping)
•A big saucepan
Instructions:

1. Chop the chicken into chunks. Put some oil into the pan and heat .
2. When the oil (or dripping) is sizzling, put maybe five chunks in, and repeat when the chunks are all white.
3. After the chicken is done, add around three teaspoons of turmeric, half a teaspoon of cumin, half a tsp. of coriander, and a quarter tsp. of cayenne pepper.
4. Taste regularly. It should have turned canary yellow. Add stock and restore to former shade and taste (well, nearly). Add salt and pepper at will.
5. Tastes satisfactory? Serve. If it’s too spicy, use yoghurt. It goes well with rice.
6. Enjoy!
