I usually "sweat" all my soup veg in olive oil first anyway...are you saying that I need to add some more olive oil whilst soup is simmering away?

I sweat them too ( no nastiness being said here really). I do add a little olive oil when simmering si senora M, to give it some extra goodness.

I'd love to know what you mean by that. What is the link between the two? If the thread has become tedious for you I can understand, but it doesn't mean it is for others(though this one isn't my cup of tea). It is the Lounge after all. The Drawing room is there for more serious debate.


Anyway as I'm here, my contribution:


How to Burn Toast


Insert one or two slices of bread into a toaster


Turn the temperature up to max


Wait until smoke rises from the toaster/or toast pops up


Remove burnt toast and scrape to taste

Love it Declan...but don't go away...please


Do I presume you are Irish? If so, do you have an authentic recipe for colcannon please...you know, something which your mum would have made as opposed to a Delia (no disrespect to Delia) recipe please?

Your Ladymuckiness, how could I possibly know what you presume? But I am indeed Irish. As for colcannon, shure thats just cabbage and spuds mashed up isn't it? I don't know if my mum made it or not as Mrs Bridges used to do most of the cooking!

I think all kids do...my mum (French) used to make all these exotic French dishes which we didn't appreciate at the time, but bottom line was we too always preferred egg and chips...or sod the eggs...just chips. Ah, mum's chips...nothing like them.


Erm...being half Irish, don't suppose you have an authentic recipe for colcannon? And what is coddle? Actually, I'll go and google coddle.

      Housing Advice Needed

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hello lovely people, In need of some help please… My landlord has rented a property to me without an EPC.. my understanding is that is illegal. Have asked several times, in last three months and still not forthcoming. Have asked again plus now leaving at the end of the month & ignoring me totally - even to take meter readings & hand keys back!!! I really don’t want to go to court either but not sure as it is a private let whether I can go for mediation. Deposit was lodged via under govt scheme - 60 days later but at least lodged. No inventory on signing either so, not going to pay for anything either.. Could I bring in local councillor? For advice? Thanks and have a good weekend.

      Has anyone else found it absolutely impossible to get an appointment at DMC on Crystal Palace Road since they implemented the new “link” system at 8am on a morning ? I was told by the receptionist that all appointments are taken within 15 minutes and it is not possible to book in advance anymore but … wait for it… they are still accepting new patients and there is a HUGE banner outside the surgery advertising this. How can this be allowed when they can’t service their existing patients ? I have left a complaint form but would any other DMC patients like to join forces and see if we can force them to make improvements ?
