Hello, and welcome to the latest Sunday selfie from the Chumley & Hudson Investigation Team!
Whilst Mrs H and I are still on our 3 month holiday, we have not been lounging around enjoying the Upper Much-Mousing summer and sipping catnip juleps. Sadly temps have been so high this year - think high 30s centigrade with high humidity - it has become unbearably hot and not safe to be out and about for all but the wee small hours of the day.
Mrs Singh, she of the World Food Emporium in the village, has been staying open up way into the night for the older residents to shop in comfort. Being the entrepreneurial lady that she is, she has arranged for a summer license to sell take away foods and has placed benches outside her shop for families to enjoy the best street food from guest chefs. So far Mrs H an I have enjoy the mild Mexican beef chilli (cat friendly versions available), Japanese sushi with salmon, Chinese stir fry that is heavy on the chicken light on the noodles.
The highlight for the summer will be the local food festival. Due to the sign maker receiving a garbled message on his answerphone, what should have read The Upper Much-Mousing World Food Food Festival, got turned into "Munch Fest" on the banners, fliers and T shirts! Given the brevity of the logo, it actually was far cheaper than expected and the idea and goods stuck.
This year the village will once more host the UK's Curry World Championship. Villagers who make their own versions of curry recipes are also invited to join in the event and pit their recipes against the pros.
The local bookmaker has Mrs Bradley down as hot favourite with her mild vindaloo turnip and pea surprise curry. Hopefully the surprise this year won't be the addition of Brussel's sprouts that she put in last years entry. In the words of Gladys, who helps Mrs H in the kitchen sometimes, it gave it a "gale force ooomph effect" the likes of which she'd not felt since her time on the North Sea trawlers!
And now for a Sunday Selfie, which I took time for away from my long summer nap and night time escapades. This is about as lively as I get these hot days, and was not prepared, for fear of exhaustion, to raise even an eyelid.
ERin, just reading the title of "mild vindaloo turnip and pea surprise curry" made our innards do something odd, and that's all we'll say about that! You are beautiful; enjoy your nap.
Princess ERin, hot and steamy over here too. Too many days to keep track of. You have a lot going on around the area for such hot weather. Nice to be able to go out later in the evening for food instead of during the worst of the day. Stay cool.
ERin, you look totally at ease and pampered, as well you should be. And that mild vindaloo turnip and pea surprise...um....one can only imagine! With the addition of brussels sprouts...my mom here swallowed wrong as she was eating her late late lunch, and she was laughing at the addition and effects. That'll teach her!

Lovely selfie, Erin! This heat really saps energy and we wish it would go away but the forecast is for 30°+ for the foreseeable future. Stay cool!

ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely selfie, ERin. We bet Mrs. Singh's offerings will be a big hit, if they aren't already. You and Mrs. H try to stay cool, okay? Hugs!
