... let's move on to other things...
Today is Nigella's birthday!
I refuse to enlighten the culinarily-starved amongst us as to who I'm talking about. Nigella belongs to that select club of no-surname-required icons; namely Oprah, Kylie and Madonna<-- sorry baby Jesus, I don't mean your mommy.
Here's what someone (lisa aka exiledcal) on her forum wrote - it's too good not to share.
There once was a girl called NigellaA spatula and magi-whisk salute to the fabulous domestic goddess herself!
Named after her father, that fella (his name is Nigel. duh)
To cook up a feast
She butchered a beast
And grilled it beneath an umbrella.
Oh. And.. mmmrrowwwllllll....

ohhh.. the goddess b'day.. wow.. and may i know how many candles is she blowing?
I wonder who cooks for Nigella on her birthday.
Some hot goss: She's apparently the 'other woman' in Charles Saatchi (some advertising big shot) and the old man divorced his wife to be with her.
Not that I condone it, but the best way to a man's heart is through the stomach perhaps?
Pardon my London.
To rephrase "...the 'other woman' in Charles Saatchi's life..."
Unfortunately I do not belong to the Nigella camp (snicker) of domestic goddesses (I'm more like the chicken-feeding Madge-type), since I can't even crack and egg properly, HOWEVER I very greatly admire her and would kindly like to request a boyfriend who worships her devoutly.
nigella does a beautiful pot roast and honey ice cream whatchamallit.
but anthony bourdain with his sarky devil-may-care attitude rocks my socks.
Embressed? I have this creepy feeling that you and I actually talk the same way in real life.
And I'm with Will here - I'd love to be a Nigella (minus the horrible name).
happy birthday, nigella! (ok so i'm late, but i already posted on HER forum on the right day).. *waves a mini muffin tray in each hand*
i would bake a cake in celebration, but i figure the FOUR KILOS (*sob*) i've put on since you came into my life (nigella, not spot - though same difference, really) is celebration enough...
Hi Spotty,
CF wants to learn to cook. Any recommendation of Nigella's cookbooks? ;P
biow - I also dunno. What a bad fan i am!
wandernut - A bit basi lah that news ;)
Dunno about tummy tunnels, though a man who appreciates food is likely to compare against mum's cooking.
will - *scribbles on order sheet* I'll be sure to tell her the next time we're tete-a-tete-ing
hedo - A honey zabasomethingorother i think it was. Ah, anthony and his "risking everything...". What exactly does he risk??
jay - I get that feeling too. Fortunately for the world, you and I will never mate. With each other.
snowie - It's the latent nyonya in you. Your clan should be proud.
derek - You lucky boy! A boyfriend who wants to learn to cook is worth keeping! "Nigella Bites" is probably a good one to start with. Or any of Jamie Oliver's actually.
