hello all.
Mittz - god you can do with the x being such a cock end. just ignore him it is just pure pathetic male ego.
Alice - we are having spag bol tonight too.
haven't properly caught up yet as i was just too desperate to come and tell you about my fabulous day
dropped DD to school and got a cab to the station, the cab driver drove into the back of a learner driver! nothing major buut they had to exchange details. we continued to the station but the hold up meant i had missed my train. I refused to pay the driver, he got stroppy i told him to kiss my fat white arse and went in the station.
because i missed my train i had to get the calling at all stations trainj instead which took forever.
Got out at the other and late and had Carrie ringing me as they needed to start filimg. FILMING? says i. i was unaware that we were to be filmed. panic panic panic.
Got another cab to the kitchens where i burst in to see Marco looking all big and brooding and much sexier than he is on the telly. (no tea towel today either which helped)
He comes over and says "hello Michelle, I'm Marco" i go all weak 14 year old virgin being spoken to by the school hunk and a tiny bit of 'he knows my name syndrome' kicked in.
I get plonked on a chair, no chance to slap some plaster of Mac on my face so i just had to sit looking a like a school run mum that has just ran all the way (not great in other words)
I get shown a couple of questions that the prodcution staff would like me to put into my own owrds and work into the conversation.
Another one of teh ladies introduces herself to me as one of my fave MNers - Madamedefarge.
Marco starts cooking. He talks about food with such passion that i start to forget that i am a cynical old bag and start to believe that he means what he says about urkey being tastier and better than chicken.
He makes us three dishes, Turkey meatballs in tomatoe sauce, turkey steaks in breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, and Turkey stir fry.
All of it was bloody gorgeous and the nutritionist lady kept reminding us of just how great turkey is, that it is a super food and that it is so much lower in fats than every other kind of meat. so i sit back thinking I may just have to start cooking with it more often.
We ask Marco questions, both the ones they wanted and our own. Sadly i was unable to slip "do you like it rough" into the conversation.
He was very articulate and his voice is so smooth i could listen to it for hours. there was some banter and a few definitly flirtatious looks. and a couple that were so very deliberatly broody and leading man that i simply know he fancied me and wants to take me away to live ona farm and feed me lovely food forever.
or maybe not.
Anyway, it was all over and Marco went and sat in the cafe with his friend whilst we all had to do a piece to camera. dear lord, Angela Rippen i am not. God knows when or where it is going to be shown. I dont know if its just for MN or for a commercial or something. feck knows.
We got a load of Turkey mince, steaks and cubes so that we can try the recipes at home, i got a £10 sainsbo's voucher to buy yet mroe turkey and a copy of Marco's new book that he has signed with a personal message. No idea what it says cos i cant read his writting but my guess is that it says " your gorgeous, marry me"
So i got to spend the train journey back fantasising over being Mrs Pierre White. I like it. I think it suits me.
Not sure chris'd be too happy. though if he got fed regular i doubt he'd complain.
now, who wants to do me a round up of anything i missed?
