Teh birthday praty of Mwerise.

As promised, mes amis, Miroçe is going to writinate abuot his brithday praty most magnificent taht he just recently has had.

OKAY, OKAY, a few things, they did not to plan go. Merise had inwited over 45,00 people, and only of them 10 turned up. This was not good. But teh ten taht did turn up includeded many of Merjoses bon amis, so tihs okay was. M. Burlosconi attended, as did M. Tony & M Cheri Blair. Also present was Mieroses aquaintance/asociate Âglie de St-Germaine.

Mirhjose , he had payed for a chef & cooks to preparinate teh food. Much as Mwerise is a geynius in teh kitchen, there was too too too much work for him. ESPECIALLY as it his brithday was , and he injoying himself was mean t to be, NOT cooking in teh kitchen. He did try to give teh chef teh benefit of his wisdom by constantly providing adwice on cooking, but teh chef oddly did not seem to tihs apreciatinate. Ewentually, he pointed out taht such tihngs were beneath teh geynius of Marośe. A point wiht witch Merice coud hardly disagreeinate!!!1!!?!

Eh bien. Teh diner, it was magnificent. As were teh whines, which Merose organdised himself. Tehse were ALL from teh 1963 wintage -- same as Morise!!1! Thats right mes amis -- Moerise turned 43 tihs year!!1!~! Moarose particularly like teh Krug 1963, as well as teh Romanee-Conti 1963. Aglie preferianted teh Lafite-Rotschild 1963.

Eh bien. DId Maorŵse mention taht the dinner, it most magnifique was????!?@!? Eh bien,. it was.

Here are a sample of some of teh many, many courses, prowided by teh chef. Apologies for teh bad spelling, teh chef is not a geynius.

• Wild salmon with teriyaki sauce, served with oyster mushrooms and sautéed bok-choy and sprinkled with caramalised Macadamia nuts
• Carpaccio of beef with baby betroot and a salad of oranges and rocket, and a dijon mustard dressing
• Battered whiting served with a homemade aioli and kiplfer potatoes
• Duck, braised in sherry, served with wild mushrooms, aubergine puree, young leeks, and crème fraiche
• Slow-cooked pork loin, caramelised and served with hazelnut paste, sautéed cep mushrooms, caramlised parsnips and crème fraiche

Eh bien, mes amis... you get teh picture. It is not as good as teh cooking of Mwerise (WHo after all is a geynius in teh kitchen) but it wery, wery good was. In fact, it was magnifique,. Aglie raved abuot teh venison with juniper and stilton sauce, aparently he thuohgt it much good was,. Mwerise, being MUCTH more sophisticated, was not impressed.

The praty it started wiht lunch at just before mid-day & did not finnish until 8 A.M. teh next mornign. Magnifique!!!1! ANd then many of teh guests stayed for brakefast. Tehn lunch. Many did not leave until teh 3rd -- 3 DAYS AFTER, mes amis.

And Moárose, he loved evry minute of it. He will postinate more abuot his presents wery soon.

BUT FIRST, as raeders of Merice his TWITTER FEED will know, Mjerise has been offerinated a job by his publisher, teh esteemed press Manutius, to edit a series of books called "ESOTERIC HISTORY". Tehse will cover teh Templars, Rosicrucians and other littel-known bits of history. Merose is even contemplating writing one himslef... on neolithic spacecraft... a return to teh subject on witch he did his PHD.

Teh hosuewarming praty of Mwerise his Castel in Umbria!!1!

Mes amis, Mirrhose finally managed to his castel in Puglia, Umbria finally get. He yesterdaey held a  housewarming praty. Well! Waht a day yesterday was.

Mirrose some mysterious wisitors had, who turned up in a large blue box marked "Polis". Teh young man called himslef "Teh Doctor", and teh young lady "Amy". Tehy were after Agliè for some raison, aprarently tehy thought he was trying to seize control of teh world(?!?!). But Agly conwinced tehm he was just trying to stop teh Templars from doing tihs. So insteaed tehy helped Mirrhose with teh cooking for teh hosuewarming praty.

Tehn teh Daleks and Teh Cybermen turned up, even toughg Mirose ahd NOT inwited tehm. Still, since tehy brought presents so Merrhise thuoght it would much rude be to turn tehm away. Instaed, he managed to conwince tehm to help with teh cooking. Tehy were much good at tihs (boy can those Daleks whisk eggs well!!!), so Mirrose disappointed was when after several hours teh Doctor, Amy & Aglíe managed to defeat both teh daleks and teh cybermen. Tihs anoyed Mirrhose, who apreciated teh help tehy were him giving in teh kitchen. Just because tehy also wanted to take control of teh world!!!

All seemed to be going well. Mirrose tehn wanted a coffee, and accidentally turned on a sekrit Dalek weapon rather tahn teh espresso machine. Teh Doctor & Mirrose managed to defuse it, but teh Doctor much surprised was to see taht Mirrose has also a sonic screwdirver. OF CUORSE Mirhjose does. He a grate geynius is,

Teh guests (inclduign mon bon ami Silvio Burlesconi) arrivinated at lunch time, *& Mwrese tehm a light lunch providinated. Tehn tehy were taken for a tour of Castello di Mierrose di Umbria by Merruçe, Agly, teh Doctor & Amy. Mirrose to slip away and prepare teh banquette had to.

Teh dinner, it was (of cuorse!) Magnifique! Mirrhose teh food preparinated, and teh wines wehre chosen from teh Extensive cellar of Mirrhose by teh Doctor & Aglÿ.

Teh dinner wehnt EXCEPTIONALLy well, & everyone (including teh Doctor) enjoyed them seelves enormously. Teh only slight porblem was taht Mirrose had expected all 250 poeple taht he had inwited to turn up, and only 50 people did. Oh noes!!! Still, tihs meant tehre was MOre Whine for everybody!!! Mirrose drunk an entire bottel of 1947 Cheval Blanc wehn Agly was out of teh room for a few minutes.

Also, teh Doctor still seems suspicuous of Aglie. Aparently tehy have met a few times before. They claim tehy last met in Paris in 1721. But taht's iMPOSIBLE!! NOBODY, not even Mirhose, could LIVE TAHT LONG!!!!!!!! Odd, mes amis, odd.

Mirhose his MAGNIFIQUE trip to teh Untied Kingdom

Mes amis, it much too long has been since Murhyçe has wiht a wobleg post graced you, his loyal raeders. Recently, he has wiht his bon ami Ugliè been inwestigating Templars in teh Untied Kingdom. It much interwesting was.

Loyal raeders might have rembered taht Murrhyse actually to Sicily was lpanning to go, but he made a SLIGHT nawigational error taht was raely trivial and anybody could have made and instead in Devon ended up. Actaully, it was Agly taht made teh error it was was tehreful totally and completely teh fault of Algiè.

Nonetehless, we abel were to find a sekrit Templar cell in deepest darkest Devon. Tehse much fiendish plotting were up to, including organdising a bake sale, which Mirrhuse abel to infiltrate was as indicated in taht prewious wobleg post.

Mirrhose and Agly managed to also make two "side trips" to ohter parts of teh UK (Actually Murose his contacts say teh proper name is NOT teh "United Kingdom" but teh "Ruwvaneth Unys"). Tehy wisited Cornwall & Yorkshire.

In Cornwall, Mirose & Agley were able to track down some Rogue Templars at Tintagel. Miruse managed to outsmartinate tehm, persuading tehm to "Lend" him thier copy of "The Secret Plans of the Templar Brotherhood" (18th century). Of cuorse, Mujruse of returninating it has NO PLANS, regardless of how often tehy him on his mobilephone ring to him remindinate. Teh trip to Conrwall was spoiled only slightly by Mirohse finding taht he could NOT buy Romanee Conti at teh local pub in Tintagel - Mjerhyse touhght taht ewery pub would tihs have.

Wiht just days to spare Aglié insistinated on York wisiting. Meruse (correctly!) thuoght taht tihs was WERY, WERY CRAZY. But to Mirhuse his surprize, tehre a long lost Templar cell in York was!1!1!! Agly dropped eaves(??) on tehm, and much sekret infromation was to find out abel. Murose sat in a cafe and enjoyed Much Coffee and Bacon and Eggs. Murise also infiltrated a Templar meeting, but was thrown out when he treid to wideo tape it.

Taht nite, thuogh, Agly & Mirrose were abel to find out abuot some sekrit tunels taht under York run. Despite braving danggers such as giant rolling boulders, lava pits crosssable only by crumbling rock pillars, and walls wiht poision spikes that closed in rapidly, Mirose & Agly were abel to infiltrate a Templar meeting (tehy have teh Sangreal, but not its owner's manual) and steal a sekrit manuscript.

From teh tunnels we only yesterday mroning escaped, and tehn had to dirve to London to teh YouRowStar train to Paris catch. Wehn we to Paris back got, Agly asleep fell JUST becuase he teh prewiuos two nights had slept not. LIGHTWEIGHT!! Mirose sleep does not need.

Templar bake sale

Mes amis, Mwerise is back in Devon after a MOST ewentful few days in Cornwall, where he got teh better of teh Tintagel Templars!

Still, it not just in Cornwall taht Mwrise has outsmarting teh Templars has been. He is also a group of Templars in Devon infiltrating been. He managed to infiltrate a diabolically ewil Templar Cake Stall, held in Taunton last week. Mirrhose managed to get in undected by posing as "Mwrise de Perfossor, internationally famuos baker" who was wisiting from Australie. This tehy beleived, of course, since Mwrise is a geynius at many things including (1) lying to Templars, (2) bakeing (so his claim, it beleivable was!1!!1!).

Mirrhose a batch of his famus Macaroons baked for teh sale, and drove along early morning to wiht teh stall help out. All teh Templars were disguised as elderly ladies, which a most feindish disguise was. Mwruse was abel to watch tehm trying to convert teh Good Poeple of Taunton to Templarism, but luckily tehy did not tihs manage. Tehy managed to raise several hundred pounds, which tehy CLAIM is for charity but is really going to teihr plans of world domination fundinate.

Mirrhose his macaroons natuarally teh BEST SELLER where, so Mirrhuse now is in a QUANDRY. He taht day MUCH useful infromation about templar plans for wrold domination out found, BUT his macaroons most magnifique HELPED to FUND teihr evil plans most evil!! OH nOES!!!

Stil, also now have much useful infromation about teh Cornish templars. Agly says we are ahead of tehm, so all is well. Heading back to Paris next week, mision accomplishinated.

Château Mouton-Rotschild 1982: A comparison

Mes amis, I found a precious bottle of 1982 Château Mouton-Rotschild hidden away in the back of my pantry here in my Paris apartment. Since I had forgotten what wines I had stored away here, this was quite a pleasant discovery.

I decided to celebrate this with something special for dinner. I instantly rang Agliè and he agreed to visit that evening for dinner.

Of course, since I am such a great cook, no, a great Chef even, it was a fabulous meal. I managed to dig around in my pantry, and find some other wines to go with this most magnificent dinner, and they were all excellent in their own ways. Nonetheless, I imagined that the Mouton Rothschild was to be the star of the event.

The menu went as follows:

Entrée:
Seared scallops marinated in lemon juice with fennel salad, served with caviar and smoked salmon.
Served with 1976 Château Haut-Brion Blanc.

Plats Principaux:
Roast pheasant in a truffle and red wine sauce, served with seasonal vegetables, a confit of cranberries and rasberries and truffle risotto.
Served with 1982 Château Mouton-Rothschild.

Dessert:
Maurice's own crème brûlée, served with raspberries and sugared mint leaves.
Served with 1962 Château d'Yquem.

Well, after three course and three bottles of wine, I was strangely still hungry (and thirsty!). Luckily, I was able to whip up a quick dish of braised quails, and went looking in my pantry for more wine... I was not disappointed, let me assure you, my friends!

I found more bottles of Château Mouton-Rothschild: 1981, 1982 and 1983. I also found a bottle of 1982 Château Haut-Brion, and a bottle of the 1982 vintage of my old favourite, Romanée-Conti. This seemed to call for a comparison! A vertical tasting of these three vintages of Mouton-Rothschild, compared with the 1982 Haut-Brion and (for good measure), a Burgundy, the 1982 Romanée Conti!

Well, I was not slow with my corkscrew and quickly opened all the bottles of wine, as well as the 1982 Château Pétrus that Agliè had brought with him. Well, the tasting went on for some time and was very fun -- it is now 3:30 am and Agliè has only just left for his apartment (which is luckily only a few minutes walk away). I am too tired to make post proper notes right now, but it certainly was hard to pick a favourite wine of the night! Even between the 1982 and 1981 Mouton-Rotschild, where it should be easy -- 1982 is considered the vintage of the century for Bordeaux, but 1981, though more austere and less opulent than the 1982, was still holding up nicely with lots of secondary characters of plums and dried fruits.

Ah well, mes amis, it is now bed time for this tired, tired genius. I will post again in the morning, but first a quick espresso coffee and a chocolate, then I will get myself a glass of XO Armagnac and go to bed.

Bon nuit, my friends!

In FLighjt food

Well, Merüse did not teh whine he wanted to get get. He instaed had Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2005. EWENTUALLY, after maybe as long as 10 MINUTES, he Seared Sea Bass with sautéed spinach and château potatoes was abel to get to eat.

But now he still muich bored is. He waiting for teh kindly hairyplane stewardesss to go Mjhruçe fetch a glass of Warre’s 1988 Colheita Port bring, but in teh mean time he tihnks he will go back to flicking bits of paper at Aglÿ. Taht much fun is, & Miwrrhose he is certain that this time, Ugliè will join in in teh spirit of teh game.

Ah, it turns out taht Agliè some spare books along brought for Mwerrhïse to raed. Horray! Mirrhyse would not of this have thought (even though he a grater geynius than Agliè is!!!) Well, Mweruse will raed Tango Temple: Templar Conspiracies in Argentina from 1893 to 1976, and tihnk about what he for his NEXT meal will have. ALso, he will teh kindly stewardess ask for an espresso coffee. And a glass of Camus XO Cognac. And more cofffeee.

InFlihgt Entertrainment

Mes amis, Mwerìse he is 10 minutes into teh hairyplane flight from Rhôme to Buenos Aires, and he ALREADY bored is. He & Agly 1st class British Hairways are flyinhg. Agly this insisted -- he would NOT fly wiht Mwerùse his normal hAirline, Atterissage Forcé, which Mjerise made much disapointed. At least tehre would be some entertainment -- teh engine would have normally caught fire at least ONCE by now on Atterissage Forcé.

Eh bien, Mwerüse a GEYNIUS is, so he can wiht teh boredome up put. He tried flicking scraps of paper at Agliè, but he this game did not want to play. Now he trying to raed a newspaper is. But it all rubbish news about stupid non geyniuses as!!! Mirrwse, he a grater geynius tahn ALL of them put togehter is!!!1!

Well, Meruse is falling back on trying to get somehting to eat & drnink to teh time pass. Hmmm -- Mheruse would like Tuna à la Provençale, wiht a bottel of Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet les Pucelles Premiere Cru 2002 to wiht it go. But alas, teh stewardess not coorporative is!! SHe claims this, they do not have!! She cannot Mweruse a meal get until lunch time, but at least she can him some cheese & biscuits get. Muryse at tihs much angrey was, but managed to restrain himslef and did not teh stewardess atempt to beat up or teh hairyplane attempt to damage. AT LEAST tehre cheese and biscuits are. Merjuse, he hopes teh cheese is TOP QUALITY FRENCH CHEESE. He expects nothing less.

Mwreise is trying to see if he can persauade her to him a bottel of 1985 Haut Brion Blanc him get. Wish Mwerise luck, mes amis!!1!!!

Daytrip to Rhôme wiht Agliè

Mes amis, today Mhjwrÿçe for a dirve into Rome with his bon ami Ugliè went. Mwèréwse decided to teh 2CV dirvinate, and Mirrhuyse his beret wore -- wery much teh model of a sophisticate whine maker extraordinaire !!! Mherjse thought that Agly about teh choise of car would complain, but he did not much. Ugliè complaininated more about Mhjerÿse his red high heeled shoes (très chic, mes amis) than teh speed at which Mwrhjyse he droveinated at (150km/h)!!!! Maybe, Ugliè he preferinates teh dark blue high heel shoes (wiht DIAMONDS on it) tahn teh red ones.

Anyways, mes amis, Mjerùse & Ugliè had a day out most magnifique & Agly teh secret Templar history of Rhôme to Mhjweruse explaininated. APPARENTLY, teh Templars tehy used to really really sekret meetings hold in teh ruins of teh colliseum for many years, until Àglìè found tehm out & Infiltrated teihr Rhôme branch. This forced them to their meetings move & Agliè has not them again yet foundinated.

Mjerüse went shopping & bought himslef some more shoes (TWO pairs of PRADA high heeled shoes, and a pair of work boots for working on teh farm at castello di Mwerjüse. Teh farm boots are by Louis Vuitton!) , a nice new dinner jacket, and a book about teh Templar history of Rhôme which Agly such much good but flawed was (by an ex-Templar, published in 1721), and a book on teh Templars in Germany by Agliè de St Germaine published in 1801 -- maybe a relative of my bon ami Agliè!?!?!?

Aglìe bought a case of 1962 Ch. d'Yquem and a case of 1982 Ch. Haut-Brion. Mjeruse also two cases eahc of these boughted, as well as a case of 1973 Romanée Conti and a two (2!) precious bottles of 1901 Ch. Moutoun-Rothschild. Aglêi also one of these bought. Quite a find, mes amis, quite a find!!!!

Eh bien, Mjerîse & Aglië tehn to lunch went. Tehy a fine lunch at La Pergola (teh ONLY Michelin *** restaurant in Rhôme) wiht many bottels of whine from teh 50,000 bottel+ cellar. Teh menu, it was magnifiqe! Mherüse teh "Composition of sole and white truffle from Alba on cannellini beans" had, and Agluy had teh "Organic pigeon with purée of dried fruit bread and pomegranate ice-crush".

It much magnifique were, and Mweruîse hardly able to back into teh 2CV roll to dirve back to Castello di Mwejuiçe (at 150km/h)..

Haippy New Year!!!

MES amis, Mweruse was just wiht Agly discussing our up coming holiday to Argentina (in February, mes amis, to get a bit of taht southern hemisfear summner in!!) when he rembered that he had not his adoring wobleg audience treated to another demonstration of his geynius most magnifique ALL YEAR!!!!! Oui, it is true. Mjeruise had not ANY wobleg posts for le bon année 2010 made~!!! WELL< this, he knew it no good was!! He must this porblem fix!

Eh bien, he teh wobleg post it is. Mjerusie & Agly, tehy to teh Tuscan castel of Mwirrhyçe his bon ami Agli went for Christmas and they a much good Christmas had. Meurhyse gave Agliè a copy of one of Mhwriuse his books, and Aglÿ gave Meruse a 16th century book about teh templars. Ugliè wiht teh present from Mirése much pleased was, and said: "Oh good, another copy of the Mouthwash of the Gods, I'll add it to my collection along with all the others you gave me. How kind!" You could tell he much touched was, and he strugled to hold back tears of gratitude.

Well, we a much nice CHristmas diner had. Aglìè teh duck prepared, & Mjheruse brought a long botles of 1969, 1979, 1989 and 1999 Romanée Conti and they much good ALL were & wiht teh duck much well went. Agly looked suddenly excited again. Tehn we had Christmas pudding, also made by Agly, and 1923 Taylors wintage port (from portugal) supplied by Mhjrryçe. Tehn X.O. armagnac. Tehn X.O. calvados. Tehn sauturnes (1963 Château d'Yquem). Tehn Christmas cake. At this point, even Meruse too much to eat felt he had had.

New Year was good too, Mweruse & Agly celebrated teh new year wiht a fine dinner of pheasant served wiht 1910 Romanée Conti, and for desert was a selection of finest cheese wiht 1910 Château d'Yquem. Tehn we a 1910 wintage Armagnac had. Can you a theme see emerging, mes amis?!?!?

When Meryse & Uglie had to Castello di Merüsse returninated, tehy much work to do on teh whines still had. Agly reckons they finished ferment have, & to oak barrels for maturing tehm has moved. HE thinks that for this we many months must wait, maybe more than 6!!! but Meruse tihhnks 5 days is enough. And Mweruyse in charge of teh whine making is.

Eh bien, that all for now is. Meruise will more write to you keep infromed, though!!!

Whinemaking and a Talk in Rhôme

Mes amis, Mwerüse has a brake from teh Templars been taking. He Other Things has been doing.

FIrst, he & his bon ami Aglÿ have been making whine at Castello di Meruse. Mòrrjuse cannot you yet tell what whines he is making, though they much exciting are. HE not ALL teh whines he was planning to make is, as he forgott about teh harvest and teh grapes much too late pickinated.

As usual, Mueriùse most of teh work wiht teh whine making has been doing. HE the improtant part has. He has been sitting around in this corner teh whole time, watching this oak barrel to see that it escape does not. Meanwhile, Ugliè and a student whine maker from Bordeaux have been doing all teh small, inconsequential stuff like "pressing" grapes, moving barrels around and much else of such triviality that they do Not atract teh atttention of a geynius such as Mwrrise.

But Merhiüçe a break from this teh other day took, and to Rhôme went to give a talk on Neolithic TV production. THis talk, it a triumphe was, wiht 300 people attending. Mwîrryse much worried was when he some Templars in teh Back row spotted, but tehy wery polite & attentive were. Tehy even some interwesting questions at teh end asked, so maybe they, they also scholars of prehistoric TV and Radio production were. Also, they did not try to teh talk disrupt or Mürjise take hostage, which good was.

But now, mes amis, teh big task for Mqrûße today is to continue to watch this oak barrel, as instructed by Aglìe. Also, waht to have for dinner tonight?!?!?

Mjérêse killer jet lag again gets.

WOAH!!! Teh JET LAG, it has just Mjruse hit just now and it is KILLER JET LAG is!!! He must sleep now mes amis.

First, Murríse must himslef a hot chococolate make, and to bed go. Even tough it only 17:30 is!!!1!

 Photo by Stephanie Watson

Well, he himslef cannot awake any longer keep. He so tired is. Must sleep.

So tired. Must sleep. Sleep must. Soo tirred!!

Excuse-moi, mon ami. Must go to bed now. Mjïrôse, he will sit up in bed and read Proust if he can. And drink hot chocolate. Then sleep (did Muerose that already mention? He remememeber cannot!!!?!).

Castelli di Maurice - a great whine in teh making!!!!

Mes amis, mon Ami agly and Murrhose the geynius have been sitting up all night about the vineyard de Mauryse talkinating!!! According to Uglie, Muirhose has has Merlot, Sangiovese, Trebbiano and ugni blanc in his vienyard planted already. Maerease, he suggested to AGLIE plantinating Cabernet blanc, but Aglie, he objected just because "this grape vaierity does not exhist". AS if that to a geynius matters!! Hah. No! It does not!!! Still, maybe on this ocaisin the non-geynius is write. Muirjohse, he will pretendinate Aglie suggested Cabernet blanc and Muirrhuse HE disagreed!!!1!

We aslo the Templar conspiracy disccusinated, and Aglei many new tihngs about teh Templar conspiracy to take over the world told Muirirse. Apparently,  microwave meals are a BIG part of this conspiracy!!!!!! Muirojse, he just knew it!!

Eh bien, it is true, it quite an evening is. Now Agli he has said that he wants to try dirvinating Muirhose his lamborghini. So after we brakefast have had, wee will for a drivinate go. THIS time, though, Mirirse le driving geynius will be teh PASSENGER in his car own == AGLEI teh DIRVER will be!!!1!

Ágliè - QUICK post, mes amis!!

QUICK POST, MES      AMIS!!1!! Mon bon ami Uglie, he here is! He hast arrivinated much earlier than Mjowrhuse he expecting was!!

Still, this not a catatastrophe is, no mon ami, Mjürøse is to whit his bon Ami aglie much time spending looking forward too.

THIS, it promices to be teh week most exciting. Your bon ami Mîrhose will you keep infromed wiht all the exciting things that Agly and Merese will doing be doing. Now Mjorhosew must brakefast make -- cafe latte and croissants, mes amis!!!!!!

MJUWORSOE!

The SECOND 46th birthday praty de Mjowrse

MES AMIS!!! Muirrhowse he is having a SECOND brithday praty, right here in his apratment in Rhôme! HE this mroning was going to go out and the milk buyinate, when he the doorbell of his apartment he heard in ring! Well, mes amis, this was quite a surprise! Muirowse, he knew not who it could be!!

When he the doorr openinated he found it was many of his friends to who he his birthdya praty in Sidnoy had invitinated to. There was M. Sarkozy, M. Berlusconi, M. Brown, M. Obama, Mme. Merkel and M. Rudd. Aparantly they most sad were they could not to the birhtday praty of Murwhose come, aparantly there was some trivial political meeting called "Gee Twenty" to which they all to go to had to!

Miuirowse, though, he did not have the food to give them. But even this, it not a problem was!! They had food from teh Gee Twenty banquets stolinated, and wiht them brought!! Mon ami Gordon had shoved some bottles of wine up his trowsers and in his jacket, mon ami Angela had stolen the pizza, mon ami Barack had tacken teh pate de fois gras, mon ami Kev had stolen teh pretzels, and Silvio had got confused and stolen some paperclips and A4 paper (aparently this is what he steals when he any job gets!!). This, it a good start for teh party was! SO, Angela went out to buy some champagne, and Silvio went to order some meals from a good little restorrant that Mhjørose in the area knows. When they they back got, we quite a party had!!! Even teh pizza, it most wonderful was!!!

AND it, it even better got! They ALL presents most magnifique for Muirrhowes had got! IT was magnifique, mon ami, magnifique! Mon ami Gordon had Mjurwose a new beret bought (red coloured!), Mon ami Angela a vase most beautiful, mon ami Barack a Hawaiaiaiaian statue, mon ami Kev had brought a new tie for Mjuowrose, and mon ami Silvio a newspaper corporation (Mjuowrise, he now owns a newspaper!) which apparently he no longer needed. These gifts, they most thoughtful were. Marose, he particularly the new beret liked.

Ah, the food it was most magnifique. And the conversation intellectual, it was most stimulating! Muhrwose, he told mon ami Silvio exactly how he should his TV stations run, and mon ami Silvio, he notes taking was! He discussed cricket with mon ami Kev Rudd, which most confusing was until he realised that he, Mirrowse, was about the INSECT talking, whilst mon ami Kev was about the SPORT talking! When that, we both realised, it most funny was. Mårjose, he had not even reealised that there was a SPORT called cricket, and Mon Ami Kev did not know of this INSECT called cricket!!

This second brithday praty most magnifique, it could all night go on. It such a splended surprise for Mjrjse is!. But Mjrorîse, he felt he must inform his raeders most loyal of the splended events that were happeninating! All his bon amis, Mjurowse has invited to stay in his apratment for the night. HIS FIRST GUESTS, mes amis!! He wonders what for brakefast mon ami Sarkozy will want!?!?!

The 46th birhtday praty de Maurise le genie!!!!

MES AMIS!!! IT WAS SUCH AN EVENT!!!

Ah yes, the brithday praty it was most magnifique. And yet, it, it did not without problems occur. You see, mon ami, that Muiiewrøse he invited 200 people to his praty, and so this it was the number of people he told the caterer to provide food for. And yet, only three people were there! Including Muirrowse!!! No, not even mon ami Sarkozy! Or mon ami Berlusconi!! Or even mon ami Chalres Dickens!. This, it not a good start was.

Well, Muirwowse he decided to start the evening by opening a bottel of Penfolds Grange from teh year of Mårøse his birth (1963). But then, then he noticed that his old nemesis Lady Shellom was one of the few guests that had come! He did not want to such a wine for her get out! Especially after what she wrote about him in her book Modern Australian Literature: Geniuses and Frauds!! No, it would not do! But then, Miueroîse he rembered how far his bon ami Ratatatatatoskr had flown to get here, and thought maybe he should get out teh good wine for Ratatatatatatatoskr's sake even so. Eh bien, it was so.

The rest of the evening, it most magnifique was. Muirrhose had enough entrées for 68.3 people, he could not the Ragoût of Lobster keep away from! Then he for the main course had teh Ballontine -- turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken stuffed with a pheasant stuffed with a grouse. he off this had enough for 30 people! AND then he on to the venison moved!!! Then, for desert Mirrowse he had the Baba au rhum, the Teurgoule and the Crème brûlée -- he kept for more going back, and ate enough meals for 110!!

The dinner! It most magnifique was! Muirrowse he oppened bottles of 1958, 1959, 1963, 1964, 1971, 1983 and 1985 Penfold Granges, and the 1972 Romanee Conti annd 1985 La Teche that Ratatskr he brough wiht him!

The food, it was magnifique! The conversation, it was exceptional!! So much intellecutral discussion!! For hours with Ratatoskr I discussed the literary significance of acorns. Muirrhêse he was with his presents much happy with: both Ratatatoskr and Lady Shelom new berets gave mirrease. It a most wonderful evening was!

Well, that was the brithday de Mauiroswe for 2009! And it quite an event was, even if it did not go exactly to the plan de Muirrowse!!! NEXT year, though, it will MUCH better be. For one thing, Mirrôse he will not Lady Shelom invitinate!!!

The perfect dinner with the perfect host

Ah ha! Muirise, his little grey cells have been hard at work! YES, mes amis! He has a MENU for tomorrows dinner with Aglie worked out! And HE SHOPPING has been!! SO now its just a matter for MUIRIRSE to the INGEREDIANTS put together, and then he a TRIUMPH of a dinner will have!!!1!

Muirrhyse, he will Aglie be able to show that he (Muirowse) being such a grate geynius from his past mistakes has lerninated. Such as teh time Aglie invited Muirroswe for dinner around, and the the blackcurrent cordial with him took, rather than the Romanée-Conti wine. This time Muiiroswe will only the best of French wines lay on! Muirrgyse has around his cellar in his chateau in teh south of france looked around, and many good wines has he there foundinated:

including 1979 Romanée-Conti La Tâche,
1978 Château Margaux Premier cru,
1965 Château Cheval Blanc Premier Grand Cru Classé (A),
1889 Château Margaux Premier cru
1958 Château Ausone
1851 Château d'Yquem Premier Cru Supérieur Sauternes
ANd Muirhyse has just the perfect meal to with all this beautiful wine most beautiful go!!! Yes, mes amis, he has decided he will serve the Vegemite and toast. Also, he some some Pavlova from teh local supermarket for less than €5 has bought!! And since this such a theme Australien has, Murrhyse also has a bottel of 1971 Penfolds Grange Hermitage bought, so that this theme it can be kept up.

Muuiruuse he is certain that mon ami Aglie this dinner most maqnifique will love! He overwhelmed will be! Such wines! Such vegemite!! He speachless with pleasure will be!!!
