Tinned toms, or fresh uns cooked down. Basil, onion and a bit of seasoning. Lob in an unhealthy amount of butter and simmer for a bit.BWFC_Insane wrote:Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:A tip for awesome pasta sauce. Is stick your knob in your tomato sauce. It doesn't sound right, but it works.![]()

BWFC-I once told me to put finely chopped celery and carrots into a bol sauce. A tip for which I don't think I've ever actually thanked him quite enough, despite my initial reservations.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:A tip for awesome pasta sauce.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Not into that myself. My nan's recipe is the best, feck knows what it actually is. I just used to take several tupperware boxes of it to uni and stick in the freezer so I've never needed to know. They do use pork mince though, I know that much.Bruce Rioja wrote:BWFC-I once told me to put finely chopped celery and carrots into a bol sauce.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Can't take credit for it. Tis what the Italians do themselves. Carrots onion and celery is their base for just about any tomato pasta sauce....Bruce Rioja wrote:BWFC-I once told me to put finely chopped celery and carrots into a bol sauce.

A couple of years for me too, I think. Obviously I'm hoping that they haven't done a damn thing to the place.BWFC_Insane wrote:Not been for an absolute age and you've just reminded me that I really must.....Bruce Rioja wrote:El Rincon tonight. Oh yes.

Absolutely superb, as ever (and spotless bogs too, Jaffka
) Eight of us had the set menu. Just when you think you're about to burst, out they come with a seafood paella. £30 a head with a decent glug of wine apiece.

Hor Mok Talay with side dishes of Pad Ma-Kham and Poh Tak Talay and an elegant Khaow Pad Pi-Sed washed down with authentic non-export Elephant beer.
My Thai friends are having a party, something to do with celebrating democracy being overthrown. I'll certainly feel at home., coz I will be: they've commandeered my 'balcon du sud'.

A walk around Entwistle Reservoir followed by lunch at the Strawbury Duck.
I can confirm that the Strawbury Duck burger is immense. Angus beef burger with shredded duck and barbecue sauce, plus 3 of the biggest onion rings that I have ever laid eyes on, with Cajun fries and salad. Washed down with a pint of Unicorn. First ever visit, but certainly not the last! I'm a bit stuffed now.
Not a bad way to spend your 20th wedding anniversary!

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Of course. Just so that I could nick some of her lunch too. #fatbastardbobo the clown wrote:Did you take her with you ?Burnden Paddock wrote:A walk around Entwistle Reservoir followed by lunch at the Strawbury Duck.
