LET IT GO!

Do you remember the great series of TV ads of Vogel's bread - 'Homesick Kiwis'?

Here's the New York one:

VOGEL'S AD - NEW YORK

*****************

So why refer to this you might ask?

Well today after some activity - tennis in the morning, loading up a trailer with tree trimmings and taking to the landfill, swimming in the afternoon - I thought about preparing my evening meal.

I had something in mind, having kind of planned it a few days before.

LEEK AND POTATO PIE.

Last week when shopping for vegetables I bought the usual - capsicum, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, potatoes, garlic, spring onion and some other things but added a nice big stalk (?) of leek.

We didn't use this over the weekend and on the morning of The Old Girl going back to Auckland on Tuesday we agreed that we'd chop it in half with her taking half to the apartment and using it in a stir-fry during the week and I'd find something to cook my half in as well.

Well today I remembered LEEK AND POTATO PIE. 

I looked up a recipe on the internet, wrote down the ingredients and instructions and went to the kitchen to assemble and prepare.

I found a potato, butter, cheese, pastry (frozen), and egg, herbs and was almost ready to go. I looked for the half a leek. No luck. Half a leek was nowhere to be found. I had in my mind the idea of a delicious LEEK AND POTATO PIE for my dinner and what happens? NO LEEK!

Bummer!

I made other arrangements - my mind said pie so I found some frozen mince mixture and made a small mince pie and had that with mashed potato which was delicious but ..... no LEEK AND POTATO PIE!

Tonight when FaceTiming with The Old Girl I asked her about the leek which she at first denied taking the whole thing away and tried to tell me that she had only taken half but, on intensive questioning she 'remembered' taking the whole thing. A WHOLE LEEK!

She laughed about it and said I'd get over it and then said - "LET IT GO".

Women!
