What the f uck are you having for Dinner thread..

Not at all, it's all about timing but believe me, you will love the puds..

Another hint, go 80% plain and 20% self raising flower..

 

May well try that sometime.

 

The cake baking I leave to the Mrs. She's getting very good at it, makes 3 Christmas cakes a year, for us and both sets of grandparents, and can do a lemon drizzle in her sleep.


Not my thing cakes but can do most other stuff well though, honest.

 

Anyway, beef stew in the slow cooker tonight.

It's rather nice!

 

Bacon, butter beans, sun dried tomatoes and chili with crusty bread.

 

I can well believe that mate, you come across as a well wired up lad..

 

Going to do one of these next week.

Any tips or is it just chuck it all in?

 

Love butter beans..

And spinach too..

 

Chuck it all in, take some of the gravy out at the end, whisk on a high heat with flour and butter to create a thickening sauce, pour back into the pot and mix.

 

Just cut the crap off the chicken and hoyer it all in, when you add your stock, stick a vegetable stock in there as well. Oh, and fry the breasts in butter for a few mins before you stick them in..

 

The general method for all slow cooked meals is ‘Just throw it all in’.

 

Indeed.

Anyway, when he got home my son said he didn’t want coq au vin. An hour later he asked what there was to eat. I told him there was coq au vin or anything else he made himself.

He’s eating coq au vin at the minute.

Ungrateful, lazy sod.

 

There’s writing on your plate fella.

 

Was thinking along the lines of browning the chicken first and such like.

 

Oh ****! What does it say?

 

I don’t know mate. Looks like it’s in foreign or something.

 

Just spotted it, Italian for Stan is a bobber.

 

What does “Spaghe” mean?

 

You don't want to know.
