THIS IS WHAT I GOT FROM A POWER BAR!!!! Salmonella Typhimurium Poisoning!!!
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. For more information on Salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Website at http://www.cdc.gov.

Amy is still poorly sick!
GARETH IS WORRIED...
Amy just isn't getting better.
It has been 10 days now.
She has lost loads of weight and can only hold down the simplest of foods - rice, bread and plain oatmeal.
Poor poor amy.
Her Doctor is running tests this week so hopefully it will all get fixed.
The only up side of all this is that our food bills have now been cut in half.

"Do you hulu?"
GARETH IS DELIGHTED TO HAVE DISCOVERED...
A friend told me yesterday about hulu!
It is going to change our lives completely.
We only have a basic cable package in our new flat so no 'on demand' for us.
But to be honest who needs it with hulu...
"Hulu's mission is to help you find and enjoy the world's premium content, when, where and how you want it. Our library includes thousands of videos, from full episodes of new and archive TV shows to full-length movies to sports games and highlights to clips. We are always working with our content partners to deliver the most compelling selection of programming online. Check out our current list of content partners."
It is amazing and only has a quarter of the ads that spoil regular TV.
Sadly it is only available in the US at the moment but who knows - it is such a good service i'm sure they will extend it when they sort out the legal headaches.

Death in service
GARTEH SAYS...
If i die during my employment at ?WhatIf! the insurance company will pay out four times my salary to whoever i choose.
I chose Amy and got her to fill out the paperwork.
Four times my salary is not to be sniffed at.
Let's hope Amy doesn't start to get any ideas ;)

Begging
GARETH SAYS...
We just watched 'Confessions of a superhero'. It is a great documentary about the celebrity look-a-likes that make a living posing for pictures on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. It was a great film but pretty heartbreaking stuff. Each day they'd go home with their pants filled with dollar bills and convince themselves that one day they would be a real actor.
It got us talking about who we would impersonate for a few extra bucks. We couldn't make up our minds so we are open to suggestions. Any ideas?

Bored Of Butternut Squash
GARETH SAYS...
Now the Chinese leftovers i have been busy in the kitchen. I have transformed one Butternut Squash (that cost $3) into the following dishes...
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Cut the Butternut Squash into a handful of small chunks and roast in olive oil. Fry one onion with one tablespoon of cumin. Add the squash and a pint of water. Simmer for 15 minutes. Blend. Return to heat. Add a splash of cream and add salt and pepper to taste. I made croutons with crushed pistachios to go with the soup. Yummy.
Lemon CousCous with Butternut Squash and Peas
Mix the couscous with a handful of small chunks of roasted squash. Add a handful of peas. Add a big splash of lemon juice and enough water to hydrate the couscous.
Spaghetti with a Creamy Mushroom and Butternut Squash Sauce
Fry a finely chopped onion with some sliced mushrooms. Stir in some small chunks of roasted squash. Add some mustard and cup of cream and simmer. Add salt and pepper and pour over a generous portion of spaghetti.
And would you believe it i still have a quarter of the Squash left!!!!
When i asked Amy what she wanted for dinner tonight she said: "Anything but Butternut Squash"
I guess you can always have too much of a good thing ;)
