Daisy loves Chelina xxx

Daisy just knew Chelina had to win Master Chef tonight because of her consummate skills; her thoroughness and execution of those skills and her total and obvious love and enjoyment of cooking and producing exquisite food.

Chelina was an absolute joy to watch -  stunningly well done!!!

Tom and Andrew - brilliant and outstanding in every way - but there could only be one winner of  Master Chef and Chelina was that one winner.

Congratulations to all three splendid cooks - what an amazing competition.

that's life!

Daisy still thinks her idea was good but, just possibly, her timing was not so good.  But a good idea is still a good idea and perhaps at another time, more people will agree and take it up!  Time will tell???

In the meantime, Daisy has many other projects in hand, such as family history, her poetry and writings, and photography and mostly not quite enough time for all!

The prospect of a long, dry summer, is causing her a few anxious moments, especially about having to wash out empty jars, tins and other food containers, before they can be deposited in recycling bins.  Surely, the machinery used in the whole process reaches a sufficient temperature to destroy all germs and nasty messes, without the need for any prewashing?   If we have to lessen our water usag,e such washing out of containers ought to be abandoned immediatedly; perhaps just for now or possibly for the future.
