What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[thebish]

fired up the crockpot slow cooker today...

it's been slowly slow-cooking away for a few hours..

problem is - it fills the whole house with the most gorgeous cooking smell - which is giving me serious hunger pangs...

We (to be technically correct, the wife) realised that this was a very real problem many moons ago and got me to do something about it. My solution was to get an electrician to wire up my garden shed cum summerhousy thing. We can now lounge to our heart's content, reading, watching tv, and other material pasttimes, without being botherationated by divine wafts. Our neighbour has complained once or twice that it's ruined his summer gardening routine and sometimes is driven inside to snack, but that's just retribution for the fact that in comparison to his garden he makes ours look like a tip.

I seriously might have to do that... this is torture!

I just stick the casserole pot outside. A bit quicker than a slow cooker, but saves on the leccy bill

I leave the slow cooker cooking in the house whilst I'm out doing summat. Nothing like coming home to a pot of hot dinner. You layabouts should leave the house more often.

[Prufrock]

Our Maud has excelled herself! Pork Scratchings from the swanky butchers near her rents' house. Ohemgee. They're fecking incredible.

After my attempt at Carbonara sans cream. Internets said add a bit of the salted pasta water but I did too much and it was a bit, well, wet. Not scrambled though, so every cloud!

[Bruce Rioja]

Nice. Are they linked, Little Italy's?

Food....
Actually Nothing, the Wife isn't cooking tonight.

I'll have some off Orange Juice though

[bobo the clown]

Well ... food related ;

just stripped our damson trees of quite serious amounts of fruit. So Mrs Clown will be making jam again soon. That will allow us to chuck out the unused jars made two years ago and bring to the fore last years, equally unused, jars.

For the interest of LK while doing this I squished a few of our apples which had wind-blown and gone a bit mushy and I swear they smelt like really good cider.

[Burnden Paddock]

Similarly, Mrs BP has been picking from the apple tree this morning. There is currently an apple cake baking away in the oven.

[Bijou Bob]

Ah damsons. Mine are currently slowly baking with a rapidly browning crumble. Mmmmmmmm mmmmmmm

[bobo the clown]

Some of Mrs Clown's are now in jars with a goodly amount of gin. They'll block an area quietly infusing until Christmas when, I predict, she and a couple of friends of hers will break the bottles open and she'll be taking a day off straight after.

I hate gin.

[CrazyHorse]

I'm currently enjoying my first ever pasty ciabatta. How cosmopolitan am I?
But not just my first, there's a pretty good chance it's the first one ever.

History in the making.

That sounds good. Did you make it all from scratch?

[CrazyHorse]

Of course.

i made the equivalent of that with sloes a few years ago... i made a HUGE quantity - we still have some - it is now ancient and matured and tastes like very strong vintage port - you can feel the warm tracks of its progress as you swallow it and it makes its way down into your gut... kinda reserved for christmas!

[William the White]

Of course.

Recipe, please!
