Like
any normal person, I went out on Saturday night, watched the boxing
and UFC (I found a seat where I could watch
both on 2 screens side by side in
Genting), then drove out to Bowlers Exhibition Centre for their weekly car
boot sale. A friend of mine, an avid retro game collector, had raved
about it, so I thought I'd go take a look and see what books they
had. At quarter past 6 on a rainy Sunday morning, in the pitch black
autumn night, I joined a hideously long car queue. I was parked by 7.
Despite
the venue's title, I wasn't bowled over- the cooked breakfast served
from a canteen was a bit crap, the stalls were largely selling tat, signs were full of grammar errors
and the few books on sale were obscure releases I'd never heard of,
except for Jamie's 15-Minute Meals, a recipe book I've been meaning
to try for a while. Although The Hairy Dieter's Cookbook is a good
start for people learning to cook, there's no description of the
likely time it would take to complete the recipe. As an impatient and
hungry bloke, knowing that 15 minutes is the average time I'll
actually be cooking is a weight off my mind. I'll Jamie's book soon
and detail how easy / hard it is to follow in a #psychologysaturday
post.
So,
the car boot sale at Bowlers is done and dusted.
