Proud leftovers moment: Had potato mash and a bit of ossobuco left - slow cooked beef, mushrooms, carrots and a wine gravy with lots of bone marrow. Added flour to the mash and made gnocchi. Added cream and parsley to the stew. Mix. Sprinkle of parmesan, crack of pepper. LUNCH.
Please don’t ask me for a recipe. I gave you much more than the formula to make it. I gave you the philosophical principles to make it. :)
I’m now getting messages about how mash is “the wrong thing” with a beef stew. Apparently ossobuco only goes with such RADICALLY DIFFERENT starches as rice or polenta. 😆

For a Catholic nation, Italians really are the most hilariously Orthodox cooks.

More importantly, what the Cummings SAGE story reveals is that Downing St believes the sewage is beginning to splash the Prime Minister's feet. As I explained on the @bunker_pod two weeks ago, Johnson currently has four (or five) rings of accountability protection around him: 1/6
They are (in order of sacrificial preference):

Public Health England
Whitty and Vallance
Matt Hancock
Dominic Cummings
(Raab or Gove, at a pinch)

Johnson, with his long convalescence, is giving himself time to decide which firing(s) would sanitise him from his mess. 2/6
It is likely ALL of the above (except Raab who is clueless) are actively briefing against each other, to save their careers. The early briefing in the papers was all about failures, generally. Then they started to zero in on Public Health England. 3/6

On Wednesday, @DominicRaab and @MattHancock, from the despatch box, claimed the reason testing was below half capacity was the "need to build up demand".

Today, the portal for essential workers to register for a test, was overwhelmed in one hour. So demand IS and WAS there.
Let me tell you how this is going to play out, because I'm really bored of waiting:

The gov't will store up demand AND either delay or hurry the inputting of tests into the system, creating an artificial bottleneck, so that for ONE DAY ONLY (probably 29/4) they reach 100k. 2/4
On the briefing of 30/4 a minister - Hancock, if he's survived being dressed as My Little Pony and bukkaked daily at cabinet meetings - will say "SEE? YOU DOUBTING SOCIALIST THOMASES, WE GOT IT DONE!"

This will have nothing to do with our testing RATE, but nobody will care. 3/4

What does his health have to do with his mood being cheerful or ebullient? "He's recovering very well. He is heart-broken about the loss of life, sends his deepest sympathies to the bereaved and is determined to get back to work as soon as possible". Same info, but RESPECTFUL.
Hancock is the fourth minister to describe the PM's mood as "cheerful" or similar in the last few days. Why does everyone think this is some sort of necessary statement, rather than the truth? Is it not possible that people keep describing him as full of cheer because HE IS?
Find me one occasion from his past, that demonstrates Boris Johnson's mood is impacted by anything that is happening to anyone other than Boris Johnson?
