Greens cont'd...

Ah, here we go:


Stir-fried monkfish with chilli and black bean sauce on a bed of shredded greens. Much improved. You don't need a second stomach after all....

Now then, I've been somewhat remiss of late:

"The smallest minds always have the biggest mouths."

Which brings me to The Guardian's Guy Browning's weekly How To column. This week: How to.... be silent. And I quote:

"Alligators have huge muscles that snap their jaws shut. Humans have similar, huge muscles that keep their mouths open. It takes a huge effort for most people to keep their mouths shut and, if you look back over your life, most of your problems will have come from under-utilisation of the alligator muscle. There is another added bonus to keeping your mouth shut, and that is a much-reduced incidence of obesity.

"...most people can't stand a silence without filling it. Some people feel a compulsive need to fill the silence with their own voice, regardless of what it's saying. This wittering is a form of human white noise."

Take heed, people.
