Breakfast with my boys

Today i started with a 4.30 start, cleaning up stray debris from the night before, that is stray toys!!
Once done and two loads of washing later, i played with the dog and got ready for the date with my girlfriend Nicky and her two beautiful kids.   Unfortunately one was ill so we didn't go.  Instead i took my son out for a breaky date and had a lovely meal.

Well OK, i need to comment.  Is it OK to talk negatively about food in a restaurant that you love but seems to think that crispy bacon is oven baked until dead!!  Should i name the restaurant in hope they will read this and change the way the crispy bacon is cooked? or should i approach the chef in hopes he will take my constructive criticism?  Me thinks that this will not go down too well!  Most chefs (as demonstrated by Ramsay!)  are temperamental at the best of times, but aren't i paying?

What would be the best approach?  say i am the ultimate consumer of food and that i can really give good advice.  Would i appreciate it for my own business?  Would love to hear your opinions.

By the way, after telling my 5 year old to get ready he laid on my bed waiting for me this morning and i caught him picking his nose and flicking it on the carpet.  I said if your going to pick it (because if figured that if i do it what the hell would stop him!) at least wipe it on a tissue.  A bad parent? i think not i just think that i handled a situation with common sense.

More from me later.  would love some feedback

  2. I pretty much ALWAYS complain if there is a genuine problem with my food (or in fact anyone dining with us) I figure if there is a problem and the head chef or the owner DOESNT know then they can't fix it can they. I am talking about GENUINE complaint not a whinge!! Cremating bacon IS JUST WRONG!! great blog mate keep it up...its a great venting ground even if you think no-one is out there there is always someone reading it. I have a blog that I have been too busy to write in since about august or september...check it out. adventuresofthepurplechef.blogspot.com
