I don't care much for onions but get them to keep The Man happy.

That's very interesting. I love fried onions.

What would a steak be without onions, a curry would not indeed could not exist without onions, or is it raw onions, I am fortunate in that there is not much I do not like (although Welks spring to mind)

Last night, for tea|dinner|supper* I made a salad.

It was a bit of mish-mash as I basically went through the fridge, chucking in what I could find.

It had:
Lettuce
Cucumber
Tomato
Prawns
Crayfish
Smoked salmon
Smoked Trout
Fried Halloumi.

It was delicious!

I think you might have put that in the wrong thread, AWL! But I'll also say that my postman friend does not seem bothered by it, although as he's a Sikh, he might be thought to have more reason than most to be concerned. The only political leaflets we've had here have been LD and Green, thankfully!

KP - have you changed the recipe of your chilli peanuts? They don't taste right

My first attempt at ravioli from first principles last night; ravioli Napoletana (mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, ham, parsley & egg), made with home made egg pasta. and with a garlic & tomato sauce.

They were a bit enormous (described by Ms Marco as 'small pies') and hand crimping took a while, but no leakage during cooking and very nice indeed.

Where do you live that sounded lovely

David found the last two Lindor truffles I hid for Easter Sunday today.

I have just been shopping and, as such, have a bag full of tapas dishes for tonight.

There are 3 bottles of Red at home, awaiting my attention.

Mrs T is out on a girly night out tonight.

I have Pacific Rim on the Sky box to watch.

Days like this don't come along too often!

What time do you want me there?

Gattopardo · « **Reply #886 on:** 23 May, 2014, 01:21:54 pm »

Bottle each is it....

I'm putting myself out to protect both your healths....I am a martyr.

Just had toast with Nutella and crunchy peanut butter topping. It was lovely.

Peanut butter and black cherry jam, or PB and mashed up banananananananana on toast is ambrosia...

Vince · « **Reply #889 on:** 23 May, 2014, 01:47:10 pm »

There used to be a sandwich kiosk in Bristol that did a mean PB and Banana.
A slice of white bread, lightly buttered with salad stuff on top. On top of this a piece of toast with the crusts cut off to fit within the boundary of the bread. On the toast, thickly spread PB and generously sliced banananana, topped off with the second slice of lightly buttered bread.

Ummm.

(Rations by the fish market did better sandwiches, but no PB)

The hairs on kiwi fruit: so very surplus to requirements.

I have bloody well jinxed it!

Mrs T has just called to say that TLD's mate who's house she was going to tonight has been sent home from school, sick.

So now I need to collect TLD from her other mate's house.

Won't prevent me from having the tapas (though I will have to share), or the red wine, but I can see the watching of Pacific Rim being interrupted!

TLD may be sick from what her friend has so needs to go to bed early to keep her immune defenses up?

Talking of things peanutty, how about peanuts and Bacon:

The food processor that David bought for £15 from ASDA last year is smelling like the motor is burning out.
I have ordered a rather more costly Magimix from John Lewis to replace it.

Quint · « **Reply #895 on:** 31 May, 2014, 03:41:47 pm »

Our Magimix (the one with French writing) is 20 years and still going strong, I bought a Kenwood Chef and Barbara took it (Magimix) to the Pub/Restaurant she is a chef at and it is just getting into its stride, they are brilliant

hellymedic · « **Reply #896 on:** 31 May, 2014, 05:15:27 pm »

I am looking forward to getting the Magimix. David thought my purchase was a bit hasty but:

1) I had searched the yacf archives.
2) John Lewis had an offer for free Magimix accessories with most purchases, which expires today.
3) It's my birthday next week and I like the odd present, even if I buy it myself.
4) There's a 20 year guarantee on the motor so it should be a lifetime purchase.

It said 'Moussaka' on the packet, but I'm pretty certain I was feeding the lad brains:

Pudding. Angel desert. Chocolate, butterscotch or banana? Chocolate. It won't thicken - added too much milk. No problem - add banana too!

Chocolate and banana extra thick angel delight. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Food of the - angels.
