What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Nice bit of rump and baked spud, both on the BBQ. Was very nice too

In the match v lunch face off, the lunch won.......thank God.

Spent a lovely hour and a half in Sahara, a Lebanese restaurant in Wilmslow. I have to say its some of the best food we've had for a while. It took some time to come to the table (which hopefully meant it was freshly prepared - it certainly seemed to be) but was well worth the wait. A selection of starters and a mixed kebab main was easily enough for the 3 of us at a shade under 50 quid with drinks.

I commend it to you, well worth a visit if you're in that part of town.

'Oven baked' and 'Pan Fried' are two that get my goat!

[Lost Leopard Spot]

But were the tea-leaves bush grown?

Ahh, you must be drinking Lord Kangana. A bit like Earl Grey but more vitriolic.

[Lord Kangana]

A volatile and intoxicating elixir.

A volatile and intoxicating elixir.

With a faint lavendar aroma.

Here's one for cookery experts. I'm looking at having a go at a recipe I saw for baking a cake. One of the instructions tells me to use an electric whisk. I dont have one of these. Would using an electric blender instead be really bad? What's the difference between the two?

[thebish]

You can pick them up as part of a deal WITH A PAIR OF TESTICLES.

Oh dear. Baking is now cool, do you not watch the Great British Bake off?

Anyhow, most of the best bakers in this country have been men......

Yes it would. The whisk adds air to the mixture.

A chef once told me that blokes can't make decent crumble due to the temperature of our fingers. Having seen thebish's splendid efforts I'm minded to ring said chef up and tell him he's talking absolute bollocks!

[Lord Kangana]

Crumble's a piece of piss. A bit like saying a warmed handed gardner can't mow the grass. However, some more slightly involved pastry work seems to benefit from not being warmed up, so having warm hands can be an impedement. Thats not male/female, just down to circulation.

[boltonboris]

Shirley having a bowl of cold water next your mixture to dip your hands in would combat that?
