Ah, Saturday again and up early, as ever, at the weekend...
The CDs chosen for Chris's compilation continued to soundtrack while I, in turn, continued on my quest to list all my CDs on the PC...
Of course, whenever I was collecting a batch from the back room to bring through to the computer to add them, there was a good chance Meg the Black Cat would pinch my seat, leaving me with the rather uncomfortable on the bum, Ikea stool...
And so it did indeed come to pass...
After much listing and listening and a late breakfast with Anne, I popped into town to return the discs borrowed some three and a half weeks ago from the library, when we last met up with Dr Prog...
A call to his home to try and elicit a similar meet today was unfortunately fruitless and so, with some classic Jazz in the cans, there were fines a plenty awaiting your tardy correspondent...
However, spending around £5, including the fines, I came away with more goodies - all from the jazz section and featuring works by Avishai Cohen, the great Grachan Moncur the Third and the reasonably new kids on the block, the Portico Quartet...
Last but not least, an ECM disc by Miroslav Vitous, late of Wether Report, which also featured John McLaughlin of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Chick Corea from Return to Forever...
A veritable trident of fusion...
Back home, more listing and listening while both Hearts and Queens took on their respective league leaders, led 1-0 and ended up sharing the points...
Around 6:30, it was time to choose the meal I was to cook tonight...
I opted for Creme Fraiche and Coriander Chicken on a bed of Crushed Potastoes with Parmesan and Pine Nuts...
To Tesco for the ingredients - man, pine nuts are expensive...
As usual, I followed the recipe to a tee...
Well, almost - as I served the dish to Anne, I realised that, although I'd chopped the coriander, I'd forgotten the instruction to add it at the last minute...
This was quickly remedied however and I was forgiven this minor error...
Post dinner (another triumph apparently), the day was ended with more listing of CDs...
I do like a list...
Highlight of the Day : Cooking for Anne...

Tinned potatoes? Really David...
At least they weren't the "Tesco Value" tinned potatoes..
Hey, cut me some slack, it's early days in my culinary experiments - and it tasted good...
But, ok note taken and, next time, I will use "real" ones if the recipe calls for tatties...
The finished meal looked lovely!
Hey just to warn you, I suffered fro 'Pine Mouth' for 2 weeks after ingesting a large quantity of pine nuts. It was horrible, as I thought I was on the way out.

Interesting article Donald - no ill effects at Crispycat Towers though thankfully - I probably didn't use enough - and I forgot to toast them too!!
Tasted ok though
You live and learn and glasd to hear you've recovered
