FlakMonkey Business

I've enjoyed a very low-key birthday this year (But thanks to everyone who remembered me!). Couldn't be assed with everyone fussing or having a big bash in town so I spent the day at work, and then relaxed at home by myself with good food - Mediterranean vegetable pizza - and a bottle of wine. But I think my friend Debs felt a bit sorry for me so she arranged a geek evening for the night after. Sadly, one of the other invitees had to drop out - her partner wasn't feeling very well - so it ended up just Debs and I. This was no bad thing in my book, as Debs and I never seem to get much time to spend with each other.
Debs - a.k.a the FlakMonkey - is a great cook, much like her sister, Sarah, and plied me with all manner of exotic goodies, including a green pea humous mixed with lemon juice and tahini (which I'd never even heard of until she asked me to pick some up for her) and what we could only describe as 'Korma Soup'. She'd seen the recipe in the local newspaper and committed it to memory; onions, sweet potatoes, coconut milk and curry powder of some description. It really did taste like my favourite korma dish...but as a soup! Yum!
Oh, and she also baked a lovely banana and chocolate cake for me which was delicious.
After that we played a game of Hnefetafl - 'Kings Table' to you and me - and then spent the rest of the night (and most of the next morning!) sat next to her laptop playing tunes for each other on Youtube. It was a fantastic night full of laughter and the simple pleasures of singing/bopping along to some of your most beloved tunes...
...including this gloriously filthy techno number from Benny Benassi that I'd never heard before: 'Who's your daddy?' (WARNING: NOT Suitable for work!
)
Debs and I both adore a wide range of tuneful, bangin' techno so this went down an absolute treat. Jeez-o, how good is this video??! Sigh...
Well, not quite as good as the UNCUT one.
Thanks, Debs. My place next time?

Yeah baby, you're on! :D Thank you again for a fantastical evening honeymonkey! Your company was, as ever, magnifique and stimulating. And speaking of stimulating, I think I should market that (delicious) korma soup as the new Energy Food(TM)- I'm sure it's because of *it* that we managed to stay so bright and chipper for so long! :3 Move over Gillian McKeith!
