Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Sugar (in the form of icing or meringue) sweats, and quite visibly too, at cold temepratures. You'd be amazed how many chefs don't even know this. Try it. Put a meringue in the fridge. If you leave it long enough it will go from crispy to liquid (I would say about 5 days total turnaround).
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Pasta and tomato sauce is usually so good.William the White wrote:Hungry after postponing eating until after poetry reading... Swerved into sainsbury, bought ready made spag bol - 4 mins in the microwave and chianti riserva on 'half price' offer...
Chianti was fine...
'Food' hit the bin shortly after second mouthful...

Beef and Tomato Pot Noodle. Delish with a lump of Roquefort in it.

Pasta, sardines (from the market, today) with onions, garlic, pine nuts, raisins - a Jamie recipe.
Can't make up my mind between Chianti or Pinot Grigio. Having a fino sherry, nicely chilled, as aperitif at this moment.
Roquefort - following the health tip of LK - some people will believe anything they want to hear
Also from the market - that brilliant cheese stall that has about six versions of Lancashire in massive wheels and great continental selection. i sometimes linger there just to drool.
TFIF!

'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.Gooner Girl wrote:I've been busy in the kitchen tonight.

Happy birthday to your two.

How utterly fecking ridiculous of you. Sorry, Will, but what fibre of you ever thought that pre-prepared spag bol would ever be edible? You could've knocked up a wonderful Whore's Pasta in the same time that you microwaved that rubbish. Dear me!William the White wrote:Hungry after postponing eating until after poetry reading...

I really should know better... Ready meals are simply unspeakably shite, shite, shite!
Did mushrooms on toast... Much better...
May the bridges I burn light your way

It looks like one of those eggs the alien comes out of about to open.

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....Bruce Rioja wrote:Points off if that's not the dog's spare bowl, Bisho.

Actually food sticks to stainless steel like shit to a blanket.
Metals of choice (in descending order) are copper, black iron and aluminium. Its to do with heat conductivity, by the way.
