LOL Linda! I never said I wanted to attempt one of his recipes. I hated science at school . I just find it  fascinating to see what he comes up with. I'm also fascinated with Nigella , but for a different reason!  ;)

I think chrismas has lost a little appeal for George in his first year as a trainee chef...

Monday- Theory at college work 6-finish at the local
Tuesday - cook xmas dinner for the year 2 students
Wednesday work 6-finish
Thursday work 6- finish
Friday - AFD (all fin day)
Saturday Work at saints 8-4 local pub 5-finish


A finish is usually between 11-12pm

I tried to wake him up this morning but it was a hard job and he never spoke a word on the journey in.

He is looking forward to working christmas day and I have just finished (at his request before anyone thinks I am such a terrible mum for forcing him into this- I have tried to talk him out of it but he is having none of it) his christmas chefs trousers and apron! I will try and take a picture.

Birds Eye chilli - small and red - get rid of the seeds tho and use sparingly - dont forget to wash your hands after handling, one little rub of the eye will have you in tears for hours!
