Diana Trent (the Kray years with SFC)FCL

The Krays are enjoying the winter sunshine ….

Monbazillac and the Krays calling! It’s fish Friday and this is lemon cod with parsley sauce . Yes I made it! One of deems’ favourites.

It’s raining and we don’t like it.

Here’s my effort for fish Friday as Deems would call it. Hake on a bed of onion and carrot and all decorated with caper butter. I love capers and the green colour is created with chives and blitzed with anchovy. The Guardian’s feast section calls it Roast Hake with Caper Anchovy butter. I’ll try and post when I’m doing something from scratch rather than thawing something Deems cooked and froze some time ago. How many of you thought you’d never hear from me again?? (I wonder how many de-merits she would give the presentation…?)

Daisy and I sending deems to her next kitchen

Tasted good and piping hot. However a quick look in the chiller draw and I’ve missed dried thyme and honestly, the sauce was a bit thin although tasty. I think cornflower might be required next time.

I bet you weren’t expecting me to post what’s for dinner….its cottage pie. I guessed from deems’ shopping list what we were due to have . This is the very first time I’ve done this!

A new era starts, unfortunately. However this is all about The Krays who are both currently ‘ on heat’ or as the French say “en chaleur”. Isn’t that glamorous? They’ve tired themselves out now with copious amounts of simulated shagging so peace will shortly resume, I hope . Oops no Daisy still going for it…..

Hells bells I did it! Please confirm if you can send the new heading.

SFC again . If I can change the bold heading in this page to read Diana Trent (the Kray years) I’ll be happy to keep up the news but how in hell can I dig into X to change it? Come on geniuses, tell me.

SFC again..probably for the last time. Deems’ cremation is on Friday around 10.10. From my experience with my father’s death and cremation, the timing is VERY approximate. I’ll be toasting her departure with some fizz along with our cleaner who will be here . (She would have approved as fizz can be consumed at time of the day!) Please do what you think is appropriate. Farewell friends who I’ve only just discovered, I’ve got puppies to look after and the rest of my life to organise. Bye bye. SFC

SFC again. I couldn’t finish these posts and not mention Deems’ motor racing because she would want that remembered. We spent way too much on this hobby but here are a couple of re photographed shots. The shot with the mini was when we actually won an Alpine rally and the MGB GT was one of her two race cars, this at Snetterton

SFC again folks. Deems was always horrified by funerals and their cost, especially the more extravagant ones. When we last spoke about such issues, she said once she had finished with her body, I should put in the compost as it was of no use anymore. Whilst that’s impossible, there will be no formal funeral either. There will be a date and time of her cremation which I shall post here when I know it, probably tomorrow. We should remember her as an occasionally spikey, but always energetic fine cook and animal lover. That’s what she wanted.

Good morning everyone, SFC using my wife’s account to express my thanks to you all for the very kind things you’ve said. It’s suddenly very quiet here with no one to bounce comments off. (Sorry about the grammar) The Krays are unusually quiet too. I shall leave her account open for a few months then probably close it.

Well, that was a poo 💩 night.sleep score 38/100.

Chicken and apples in sauce tonight. Not feeling well, still,

Mac ‘n’ cheese With a green salad, anyone?
