What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Points off if that's not the dog's spare bowl, Bisho.

rustic earthenware, Bruce - none of this sparkly gleaming stainless steel space-age non-stick-coated utensil malarky that LK would use....

(I think there's a tagine version for William )

So not the dog's spare bowl then? Points deducted. However, you can earn them back by proving the viscosity of your custard (DIN Rating is perfectly acceptable) and proof of Madagascan vanilla involvement therein!

I fear huge deduction for......

(wait for it)

ice-cream accompaniment!

(and - rustic earthenware dogs bowl - points regained!)

Carte D'or Managascan vanilla ice cream might just see you through, but only just!

Mate - it's begging for a pint jug of custard

If you want good ice cream, these boys produce just about the best I've ever tasted...

Come on, LK. Tell us how to make proper custard. Seriously, mate, I'd love to know (although I fear burning it).

Now you come to mention it... I'm roasting some chicken thighs that have been marinaded in ras-el-hanout and olive oil, garlic and just a little crushed chjilli... And partner is doing a spicy veggie tagine, which will be her main, and my side... aromas in kitchen next door promising...

Since I did the shopping we've 'compromised' on a NZ chardonnay on offer in Morrisons and pretty good at under a fiver... She's a sauv blanc fan... But he who shops first, gets first dibs...

[Lord Kangana]

Somewhere between Creme Anglaise and Creme Patisierre.

Seriously, boil milk with vanilla, mix egg yolks and sugar, put some milk in to your egg mix (this avoids shocking the eggs and is called tempering) then whack it all in the same pan and whisk like fury over a medium heat.

You can always put it through a sieve if you f*ck up, by the way.

[Bruce Rioja]

Cheers mate, but how much of what. That's like when I ask my mum how she makes prather pie!

[Lord Kangana]

Honestly? I don't know. Just by eye. I think it might be three egg yolks per pint, or more. But it doesn't matter if you over egg it, because you can always let it down with more cream or milk anyway.

[Gooner Girl]

I've been busy in the kitchen tonight. Made some cakes this morning and with a little help from my mum and a friend, iced them tonight. They're for the twins first birthday on saturday!

'tis my daughters birthday today too; she's six. We're having a rockstar fairy princess party. Not really sure what that is but I do know it'll be pink, involve singing and be fantastic.
Happy birthday to your two.

Thanks Crazyhorse. Hope your daughter had a lovely day? I think the occasion bypassed the twins somewhat but despite a lot of stress on my part the party went ok (we have mountains of cake left though! I think i over-catered!)

Hadn't twigged. Same day as my son... Guess who's not going to Wiggin today. Might be a blessing...

Couldn't you have taken him and some friends to the Wigan game for a birthday do?! How old is he?

He's 9, and comes to the footy with me now and again. I suspect, mainly for the half time hot dog...

I could've taken him and some mates, but they're all dmbs and I suspect the girlies wouldn't have been too impressed.

Hehem! Remember who you are talking to and lets not have any sexism please What did he do instead anyway?

We took them all out to Franky and Benny's. I thought the food was crap, kids liked it. Then back to ours for more partying.

Not sexist, the girlies concerned don't like footy.

[boltonboris]

Went to Grenache in Walkden again on Friday night. Was feckin' ace as always.

[keveh]

Somebody at work told me about that, says it's pretty reasonable as well.

4 of us spent £170. But that included 2 bottles of wine (Merlot and a Muscat Black dessert wine) me and the Father in Law both had an Erdinger and a Quilmes (pint) each and we finished it off with a cocktail at the end (on the house) 3 courses each and it was top nosebag..

I recommend it mate

[P.O.S.]

Girlfriend must be trying to kill me off, she gave me some butternut squash soup to take to work, but its as brown as mud and spicier than anything Ive ever had!

Its been a Macmillan coffee morning at work today as well so the soup combined with a ton of cakes is going to make for interesting times later on!

Butternut Squash soup, for a working man's dinner? Change the girlfriend.

Leek and parsnip soup for me thanks to partner.
