What are you eating and drinking tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

A favourite - but not often visited these days - haunt of mine... And indeed a fave beer :D

Saltaire Blond, which was nice. Not that big on very pale ales usually. That went tits up though so had to drink Empire (local slaithwaite brewery) sleuth or summat. Not good, every ale they make tastes pretty much the same and I swear they take the water straight out of the canal.

Well, now you mention it, you are corresponding with a fellow that slices a malt loaf only once - horizontally! :oops:

Bunged the most generic beef casserole together before going to theatre - what we had in fridge - which turned out to be - beside stewing beef - old charlotte potatoes, several bags with one turnip in each in varying states of decay, one leek, several onions (one squidgy), two carrots and a bit of swede... utterly generic dried mixed herbs morrison own brand... salt, pepper, stock (just powder), splash of chianti left over... In oven, start high, turn down v low,,, five hours later, just eaten second bowl... feeling fat, self-satisfied bastard, with glass of rioja in hand...

and play in great shape... :D

Only what I've read about it, fella. Sounds like it asks some very pertinent questions of us all.

The climax of the play is one of the most chilling I've ever seen - no spoilers - but i think it's a fierce, funny, scary play. David Thacker the perfect director for this kind of work - powerful ideas, powerful emotions.

Went to Chaophraya, a Thai restaurant in Liverpool One today (I believe there's one in Manchester too?) and had prawns, sea bass, beef, chicken and duck on one of the sharing set menus. Highly recommended.

So that makes it Liverpool One, Manchester too. (I would say "sorry", but I'd rather just say "feck off - have a bit o' that", to be honest). :wink:

You should really be looking at cooking the legs and breast seperately with Duck, as the legs can remain tough when whole roasted, or conversely, the breasts will be dry and overcooked. To be frank I hate Duck a Lo'range, don't understand why it was invented. Personally, I'd make a paste out of chinese five spice,ginger, honey, lemon juice and brown sugar with a bit of oil, and spread it all over the duck. Then slow roast it at about 150c to retain moisture and tenderness. (You can keep it whole when doing this) If you have a pan big enough I would suggest blanching the duck in boiling water for a minute first., thats one of the chinese secretes with their duck.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Best Thai place in Liverpool is Chilli Banana on Lark Lane. Brilliant.
