Help Le Galaxie

"Last week one of the lads' apartment was broken into and all our band money which we have saved and saved for ages was taken. This money was to be used to pay off our recording, duplication and PR costs and now we have absolutely nothing. Frowny-emoticon!

We are having a fundraiser on July 1st in Whelans and we have a few friends playing with us on the night to help us get bodies into the venue to help re-coup the cash that was lost as we truly have no money after the break in and are fantastically in debt."

rice pudding:

boil 150gr of rice in water for 3mn, drain

put your rice in 500ml of milk with vanilla, a small amount cinnamon and lemon, and 50gr of sugar

on the hob, really slowly so the milk doesn't boil, for about 30-40mn, it is done when the milk is almost totally absorbed by the rice.

put in small bowls and in the fridge for the night.

eat for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner...

 

 

riz au lait:

faire bouillir 150gr de riz dans de l'eau pour 3mn, egoutter

mettre le riz dans 500ml de lait avec de la vanille, un peu de canelle et citron, et 50gr de sucre

faire chauffer tout doucement le lait pour qu'il ne bout pas, pendant 30-40mn, c'est pret quand le lait a presque ete absorbe par le riz.

mettre dans des ramequins et au frigo pour la nuit.

a manger au petit dejeuner, dejeuner, gouter, diner...

worries

work is becoming more and more quiet

july seems to be dead, so dead in the venue...

i've started looking for a part time job just in case it stays quiet.

i'm kinda worried. hopefully it will be better for gigs after the summer. but even then the venue is supposed to close at the end of december.

and then?

i don't know what's going to happen. i don't really want to move and go to the UK but i might have to, there are jobs in the UK. it will be a pain to move all my stuff and furniture though...

ha if only i didn't have that loan, i could have saved a little bit of money... now i'm just scared i might lose my job like everyone else and won't have any money for the loan, the rent, the food...

 

stupid crisis.

anyone got 4 millions?

just to buy this nice house:

www.daft.ie/1357621

and actually can i have one million more to re-do the decoration inside?

 

oh you think it is a nice house?

you haven't seen this one which has bigger gardens and one more bedroom:

www.daft.ie/1442378

or this one is way cheaper actually, and has the coolest gadget, a car turntable! yes you can park your car and it can turn around and around automatically like at an exhibition for your own pleasure of admiring your own car...

summer lunch

even if it is not summer outside anymore as it is raining today and it will probably be raining for a few days,

i decided it can be still summer at home.

cooked a ratatouille

(2 aubergines+3 courgettes+2 tomatoes+half a chorizo sliced

+peppers+2 onions+garlic+thyme+olive oil

cooked for 30-40mn in a casserole)

and strawberries with sugar for dessert.

yummy!
