To put to boil water with black grain pepper and 2 leaves of laurel of India, to boil the shrimps by 30 seconds, to pass them to water fria with ice, to slip them. To put the pepper the onion, the tomato and the ajies in the spit until they cook, without pelar them to poener them in a food processor and adding the rest of the ingredients, in this sauce put the shrimps. To leave them in the refrigerator by 15 minutes. If it likes "sharp" agrege to the sauce but ajies.

If anybody has any idea what this means please email me and I'll have a go at making the dish some day - it's got me completely flummoxed.

Luckily I always have a plan for such eventualities and today's was a very tasty plan indeed.

I had a jar of French beans and sausages sitting in the cupboard waiting for just this opportunity (these are very different from the canned ones you get in Britain). With these I decided to do a traditional British dinner of eggs, sausage, beans and toast, but in a French style. I toasted the bread on a griddle, served the beans and sausages on top and made oeufs et poireaux en cocotte (baked eggs and leeks) instead of just frying up the eggs. Not a bad dinner at all, a few pommes frites would have been nice, but I was out of spuds.

Mini Apple Crumble: From Andrew's bakers where I got yesterday's rhubarb crumble. I am not sure if it's called ray's or Andrew's as it has two signs which contradict each other. To prove this wasn't the same cake as yesterday I broke it up to expose the appley centre and demonstrate it wasn't rhubarb again. Very good crumble indeed, well done Andrew/Ray or whoever you are.
