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

@Peej, if you’re going to get a wood oven, invest in a Looftlighter. About £60 but worth every penny.

 

gonna build my own. But will check em
Out

 

The looftlighter is the lighter (thing that looks like a hair curler). It’s just a very hot element with a blower on it. Makes getting the thing alight and up to temperature so much easier, especially if the wood you use is a little damp.

 

that looks fantastic

 

nice one. Will use it for pizza and stuff ons Saturday and slow cook overnight with it for Sunday lunch, I hope.

 

so you got an oven?

 

Really good and great idea that has given them a good income through Covid.

 

Mine came from here, https://thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk/building-your-oven/inspire/
They did have some really good manuals / videos which showed how to insulate it properly etc.

 

there's supposed to be a greek van that is touring around this area... the grub is meant to be fantastic. have to try and catch it one time.

 

have ply, a yoga ball and pearlite for making my own dome you can download templates for door and chimney also.

 

so that's a 'no' then?

 

I did say Earlier in the conversation that I was looking to build one. Planned last summer but had to isolate so couldn’t get out for extra bits needed.

 

you been isolating for a year then?

 

I will play the game. CEV until 1st August. Then when going out most diy places were rammed and I then spent more time just trying to get out with family. Then before you know it it’s autumn and the end

 

Is the pub closed closed, or is it a temp Covid thing?

Not many boozers like that around anymore.

 

just watching food unwrapped.... the simple things we take for granted, but just to make glass noodles from mung beans. it was quite interesting, how noodles are made.

 

Just closed because of Covid, well worth a visit mate. I had a nice cold Moretti with my pizza.

 

Everyone thinks they make a good chili and I've used methods and ingredients from people on here to see what the difference is to mine and it's always nice. Tonight though I'm going to follow one of these American award winning chili's to see just how much difference it makes.

Doing this one...

Looks good that.

And a right faff!

Post it up when it's done.

 

I was just looking at the label of that vegan pesto that I said about. I never realised it contains 5% tofu, that's how they got round taking cheese out of it. So I unwittingly did follow your advice of sorts.
