What about them?

It's the pointy ears that get me and that thing they do when they grip the base of your neck.

Do you ever get that moment when you've typed something, think it's a crass thing to post and then press 'Add Reply' anyway?

:rolleyes:

They don't know what there missing out on :thumbup:

Or are you implying that you eat meat but just not a seafarian?

Never assume, Jehst, never assume.

I thought something along those lines, but didn't even get as far as typing it. :sweating:

Doing Tiger Prawns with Mango and Chilli Salsa as a starter tonight but want to put a bit of salad with it - any recommendations, something a bit more exciting than lettuce?

I hate salad, and lettuce makes me wretch. Having said that, I can eat rocket, and I can eat basil, so maybe some kind of herb salad would be in order?

I make my own cow pie, but I make my own shortcrust pastry.

With regards to the meat, I like it plain and simple, so I braise casserole, stewing or braising steak for at least a couple of hours over a low heat. I put in a beef stock cube, and at the end I'll add a bit of arrowroot or cornflour premixed in cold water just to thicken the gravy. Done this way, the meat melts in the mouth. If you want a bit more flavour, you can add some onion and/or mushrooms.

I have made Sir Fynwy a "key" lime pie as his birthday cake. I believe he likes it very much.

Anyone want to come and cook for me this weekend? No? Worth a try.

I would love to, but I've just had a glass of wine, and don't feel like I can get behind the wheel of my car in this inebriated state.

I did myself toast earlier, and i've just microwaved some profiteroles.

Does that count as home cooking?

Tonight's creation:

Wholewheat pasta and slices turkey breast with homemade pesto, a tomato and rocket salad, and just to be naughty, garlic ciabatta.

Goodfellas Pepperoni.

Nom. I 'cooked' it mysen.

:thumbup:

It's just the start....

Posted
I'm not incapable. :P Just lazy. And on my own.

I must admit, if Sir Fynwy is off on his travels, I don't bother too much. Simple spanish omelette or beans on toast does me.

Tarted up Sunday Lunch today - celeriac puree (actually mash but hey, what's lumps between friends?), buttered cabbage, creamy thyme, coriander seed and chilli butternut squash and carrots cooked in a wine/orange juice mixture. All with bits and bobs chucked in. Not too keen on the carrots (overcooked them) but the rest was good - the celeriac being a 7.5 and the butternut squash was awesome.

tomorrow is squash, sweet potato and chick pea curry...

Could do with a nice bit of meat.

Can anyone recommend a cooking book for someone like me who has only just started cooking?

Just want it to have recipes for simple meals, but nothing too boring? And hopefully can be picked up from a library.
