[BWFC_Insane]

made that jambalaya stuff

in the slow cooker now, smells ace

Jealous, Jambalaya is the dogs bollocks! Not sure I'd associate it with slow cookers but then I guess it sort of makes sense.

[Lord Kangana]

Mugging you off like a two bob perhaps?

Its a Sean Pertwee line off Love, Honour and Obey.

[CAPSLOCK]

Westhoughton market - every 1st Saturday in the month. Not many stalls, a dozen or so, but some cracking stuff. Bought a Pork & Cider pie that we had today. Lovely

[CAPSLOCK]

[Lofthouse Lower]

Been recommended the Ashoka 3 course for £9 special in Manchester, but heard bad things about it. Can anyone corroborate??

I love quiche and I buy my eggs from Joe the Egg Boy who comes round once a week on his cart.

A pound per tray isn't cheap, but they taste alright I suppose. Don't care where they come from or if the hens have had a nice life.

Yeah and that just about sums you up doesn't it...

GG you need to learn. This is done for effect. If you respond it just gets worse.

As an analogy, if you scratch a mosquito bite it makes it worse whereas if you leave it alone it still gives you a pain but it recedes after a while. So ignore the prick (the mosquito bite)

Sorry, its just too tempting to rise to it sometimes...

Tomorrow I am attempting to make a steak and mushroom pie.

I cook quite a bit but have never done anything with a crust on (intentionally that is).

I am making the pastry from ingredients not the pre made stuff.

So any tips/recipes would be gratefully received.

[Bruce Rioja]

Buy the pre made stuff.

Good luck with that, Chief. Photograpic evidence of the finished article, please.

are you doing a whole pastry pie - or just a lid?

Not sure how far the pastry mix goes. So if I make a lot then I'll do a whole pie, otherwise just the top.

I'll post photographic evidence if successful.

[William the White]

Steak and mushroom... Mmmm... Comfort food of the highest order... What veg are you serving it with?

I've never done pastry myself - only the frozen stuff...

[Gooner Girl]

Eggs is eggs, innit?

No, eggs is not eggs. Battery eggs come from hens kept in cages where they have a space the size of an A4 piece of paper to live on all their lives. They can't flap their wings properly, they will never see the light of day, they can't exhibit their natural tendancies, scratch at grass or feel the sun on their back. They are worked hard til they drop and out of boredom they peck each other til they look something like this.



Given free range costs not a lot more per half dozen, if you don't buy free range then you are a stingy, cold hearted git! (and i know you're not...)

And can you send a slice to Mrs GG, Sussex please?!

Off to Horwich Beer Festival, so I shall be drinking whatever random beer takes mg fancy.

Hopefully they'll be doing pasties again because I've not had time for my tea!
