I'm wireless again!
I turned the wireless feature off on my D-Link DSL-G604T ages back 'cuz it appeared to have stopped working. I started it up again today and played with the settings, mainly the channel and signal strength that it's running on and now it seems to be working fine. I'm thinking that next door (the bad next door, not the good ones) installed a BT Home Hub running at full whack on the same wireless channel that I was using, whereas I normally turn the signal strength down to 25-50%. Interference-tastic.

I'm off work on Holiday, HURRAH! This morning was spent in Starbucks after dropping the car off, eating a very berry scone and drinking cappucino whilst reading the half-blood prince. It was bliss.

I just finished off my loverly chicken soup, despite still having some gristly lumps in it. I never got round to blitzing it better, but my blitzer's not particularly good so I blame that! It was the last part of the chicken that we bought on Saturday, assuming Jane's eaten the remaining breast that she had for lunch. I also bought a flavour shaker today. I was after a pestle and mortar but the shaker was cheaper and gimmickier ;) I've crushed and shaken some chilli, garlic, ginger corriander, salt and black peppercorns together, but I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. Any suggestions?

That sounds blissful indeed...i had a raspberry muffin and a mocha crema at the downtown Dunn Bros today. Mmmm, coffeeeeeeee...

As for your spices...hm, sounds like a really decent rub for--yes, chicken breast. But it would taste really nice mixed with a little honey and basted onto biggish shrimp and grilled:)

oooo honey! mmmm. I added some cumin and olive oil to it and rubbed it into a leg of lamb, roasted for an hour and a bit and it was delicious. Even Jane liked it and she's a fussy bugger ;)
