Who's responsible for West Drayton?

You get some odd conversations in our house. As ChrisC came in back from an emergency run to the shops on Sunday[*], the following dialogue took place:

Me: It's very exciting! Please can we go to the Camden Head on the 7th or the 8th of December, can we can we can we?
ChrisC: Are we not constrained by prelapsarian thought?

We don't usually need this kind of philisophical debate before committing to a trip up the Northern Line. However, he was way ahead of me and knew that this very exciting news might be on its way.

The Book of Job: The Musical! which I was so impressed by years ago is going to be performed again in London. For two nights.

Although apparently you're only allowed details at the moment if you do Facebook. Which I don't. Hopefully that will soon be sorted out.

If you are:

(a) in London
(b) not going to be offended by something poking fun at the Bible

then I highly, highly recommend you sort yourself out with a ticket forthwith. If you are allergic to musicals, then I suggest you think of it was an evening of comedy which might involve a guitar.

[*] Following a discovery by me halfway through making vegetable lasagne that we didn't have any tinned tomatoes. Really? What kind of household doesn't have tinned tomatoes in the cupboard? I despair.

One with chrestomancy in it.

I don't do Facebook, but I keep a presence there for friends-who-use-Facebook-for-everything purposes.

I can think of nothing more entertaining than a musical based on the Book of Job, and would appreciate regular reminders of this fact when I forget; December being significantly more than three seconds in my future.

I was horrified while cooking fresh spinach curry yesterday to discover I had no tins of tomatoes. I find tomato ketchup works in a pinch as a tomato puree substitute, so I added a good few squirts of that instead, and a cheap tin of baked beans (which I would have added anyway, I find baked beans work really well for tomato-based veggie curries, daals or basic European stews. Makes a nice thick sauce.)

The spinach curry came out well, in case you're wondering!

Household: 50% Italian. (Well, 2x half-Italian, which I think still makes the household itself 50% Italian.)
Tinned tomato stock: 9 tins. (And 1 carton.)
Tinned tomatoes in cupboard: zero.

We keep them on top of the fridge.

having been intending to make lasagne myself tonight, I read this at work and thought 'at least I've got that jar of passata to use' how wrong I was . . .
