I used plain pastry. Very thin, they went down well.

I'll be doing another batch today, for breakfast tomorrow. :D

I made a huge batch of spiced orange & apricot chutney earlier this year and gave it to people as Christmas presents. I was a bit anxious about it because I've never made chutney before, but dad and I opened his jar last night and it is nommy. I made spiced pickled pears too but we haven't opened those yet.

Our house smells of ham simmered in a court bouillon, now cooling in the stock (the ham, not the house).

All ready for Boxing Day - ham, bubble 'n' squeak and pickles being my favourite Christmas meal.  :thumbsup:

My mum's neighbour's grandson snuck up to his room on Christmas Day with a big tin of Celebrations and ate the whole lot before anyone noticed he or the tin were missing.  :o

Wondering if Basil could persuade his Cadbury mates to fill the light-eating hole on Linden Road with the stuff they make creme eggs out of.  It's bound to be more durable than whatever it is the council are using.

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?

Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Anyone any good suggestions for quiche?
Nomally I just bung in some cooked onions, peppers, asparagus and a bit of goats cheese but I'm open to suggestions.
I do have un-fond childhood memories of Markies' quiche lorraine tho, (dunno why, i like bacon) so nothing that tastes like that.
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

I'll have a word.  See what we can do.  ;)

Aaaah! I thought that parcel was Postie not ringing doorbell error and threw it into the living room on my way out while cursing Royal Fail...  A hand-delivered parcel from Basil makes much more sense :)

I thought that was banned under food hygiene regulations, on account of the risk of Daily Mail contamination?

It's got round by NW chippies by having a plain inner wrap, and newspaper on the outside.  Tudor Chippy and Grandma Pollards in Tod (well, Walkden for Pollards) both did this.

They have prove to be pretty awesome with stilton.

Today I used the spice grinder my brother gave me for Christmas to make my own garam masala. It smells awesome.

Today I made the following:

Ten burgers which I've frozen.
Pork, beef, Guinness and Dijon mustard.

Three portions of Delia's spicy chicken which I've tweaked with mushrooms, peppers and cous cous, to have for lunch during the week.

In addition to three portions of tuna, quinoa, ginger, 3 beans in chilli sauce, spring onions, cherry toms, gherkins and half a lime to dress it - to vary the weekday lunch.

All at the same time.

Next weekend I might try and go for four simultaneous dishes......  ;)

Cycling or messin' with food?

Not sure which I love more.



Take one electric cake pop maker, fill with mix:



Repeat until mix used up, chill, and cover with fondant or chocolate:



Result, Cake Pops!

Cake, and Food on Sticks, what's not to like!?

I've no idea why, but I decided to look up the dairy code for the ASDA 'made in Cumbria' cheese I have. I'm not impressed to find out that it comes back as a cheesemaker in Garstang, which is in Lancashire not Cumbria.

Garstang is probably a perfectly nice place and the manufacturer's location makes no difference to the cheese, but I feel a little annoyed that I've been lied to :(

Garstang is a lovely place, but definitely isn't Cumbria.  Never has been, as far as I can tell.

They may have more than one manufacturing base and what you've got is the registered office address?
