I have a small brain, therefore I get small kicks out of small things.

I was having a flick through one of those fancy schmancy lifestyle magazines this morning and in the foodie section I saw a recipe for 'Chilled Cucumber Soup' and it was billed as an 'elegant dish'.

WHAT.THE.FUCK?

How on earth can you associate 'elegant' with 'chilled cucumber soup'?

All it conjured up was images of something with the consistency of wet tissues that had been soaked in cream and chicken stock. Gakety-gak.

I would be filing chilled cumcumber soup under Menus For People You Don't Ever Want to Accept Another Invitation For Dinner.

And on that note and just because I'm little Miss Gloaty Pants and have worked out how to post video, (I know I am so 2003) here is another ad I like.

Ha brilliant, Popbitch is great.

There is an artist here in Ireland called Joanna Kidney and she had a relative on the donor list for a kidney. No really. Happily as far as I know everything worked out fine.

I just realised I wrote "ha brilliant". I did that thing where you repeat what someone just said to you.

I didn't even notice but then, I have a very small brain.

LK, it took me forever to figure out how to post a video clip both because I'm a technophobe and a very lazy blogger.
