Eating, drinking, cooking. Food obsessed. Always at my best in the kitchen.

I meant to tidy the house today but I've accidentally just looked at my phone for 8 hours instead.

Hate it when that happens.

I think the kitchen cabinet crew has to raise its train picnic game.

It was 4 years ago this month that Covid restrictions were introduced that meant you could only buy a drink in a pub if you had a Scotch Egg with it.
What was the most moronic Covid rule you remember?

Well - the entire crew of season two of #AdamRichmanEatsBritain has just been robbed. We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out.
All of the filming equipment is gone.
Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone.
Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone .
And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are. But we have to wait here for the police. The rest stop won’t release the security footage until the police arrive.
It’s been almost an hour.
I’m going to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions.
Reward for anything found.

@ushersbakehouse @hispibistro @WreckBistro @PINIONbistro Yes, pre-order & pre pay to collect at @hispibistro would be AMAZING!!! Especially if custard tart was on the menu. 😍😍😍

@Ocado This happened to me too. Had text last night to say slots open today, at 6.03 this morning there were 4 slots on Friday 20th and NOTHING ELSE . Poor form, as a long time smart pass holder I’ve never had such a poor choice and am very disappointed. ☹️

Albert, You fought your ass off, bubba. You loved making stuff, telling stories and being on a team.

I remember you returning to work after a ton of chemo and radiation… weak, in pain but super happy to be back. I remember the exact day because I brought you a Wrexham hat and you wanted to take a photo in it. Later, while shooting stills, you fell. Hard. I remembered something Norman Lear said in his mid 90’s… In his darker moments he’d say, “Even THIS I get to experience!”

And as the crew gasped in mild panic you popped right up with a shit-eating grin on your face. I grabbed your arm to steady you, readying a half-assed attempt to stupidly manage your embarrassment for you. You looked up at me (not a tall man) with ZERO awkwardness. Only the same smile. The look on your face made that Norman Lear quote grow louder in my head, like your eyes were saying: “Even THIS I get to experience!”

You were at work. With people you love. And you were alive. Only an alive person can trip and fall and then smile and continue working. And if anyone reading this knows someone parked at the intersection of life and death, you know it’s hard for them to see anything but life. When the light at the end of the tunnel probably isn’t a cure, I think people see clearly — focusing on stuff that actually matters.

Albert, thanks for all the love you put in to @MaximumEffort. Thanks for being funny and kind to my kids. I know sometimes you felt pretty lonely and I hope that feeling was the first to fuck off when you passed. I’m glad you’re not in pain anymore. Everybody on our crew will miss you. And ffs… even this we get to experience. (That wise little chestnut isn’t sinking in yet but fingers crossed!)

P.S. Nobody’s asking for my advice but here it is because unsolicited opining is the love language of social media. Having lost two people this month — one being my friend of 27 years, the great, Eric Gilliland, I just want to say:

Be kind. Be mischievous. Try to put your phone down. (I know it’s hard) If you have someone you appreciate or love, tell them. If there’s someone out there you absolutely hate, forgive them. It’s another way of winning that nobody ever talks about.

[Donna Minty @Kinkidevil]

@AnnaLongthorp @LBC 100% agree with this, I accidentally put @FixRadioUK on and it was such a refreshing change to the out and out misery on LBC (my usual channel) it all gets too much x

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning new leak, this photo of Donald Trump and Kevin Roberts (the author of Project 2025) flying in Trump’s private jet has surfaced. Retweet to make sure everyone knows these two are inextricably linked.

You know, I think Frodo and Sam delivered the ring to Mordor faster than the #OpeningCeremony has taken to wrap up 🥲🤣 #OlympicGames #Paris2024

BREAKING: In a stunning leak, JD Vance is found to be calling for a federal response to stop women from traveling from red states to blue states to receive reproductive healthcare. Retweet so all Americans hear this devastating leak.

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

OK, Democrats. I’m ready. Let’s do this.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

CROISSANT NEWS!
Sainsburys: £1.10
