Over a weekend I often cook a big batch of something - bolognese, casserole, etc. I freeze most of it and these then make handy meals during the week.


Also:


Use lemon juice to clean your family jewels, it may sting a little - but they smell nice and zesty afterwards.

I was going to add this myself! I must concur this is v yummy - also it is good to add some coriander. (here is a top tip courstesy of "Cooking like Mummyji" - when you buy fresh coriander, wash it and chop it up and put in freezer - it still works fine).

Hi,


Just a quick hint. When we are prepping salads we place ground black pepper on the salad leaves. when the leaves are laid put the fruits (tomato, peppers, cucumber etc)on top. Then place finely chopped coriander (chopper available from Ikea) on the top. Garnish till you have reached the top of the bowl, cover in cling film and leave in the fridge at a low temp for a hour. the flavour of the coriander, herbs, and pepper make a really tasty salad.

Tonight I'm cooking - all from Lordship Lane.


Steak (William Rose), mushrooms, spicy sweet potato wedges, steamed purple broccoli (Pretty Traditional), cheese (Cheese Block) and a Zinfandel from Green & Blue. Also made some lemon curd this afternoon - lemons & sugar from SMBS, to blow away rainy Sunday blues.

Marmora Man -


I have mean to comment on several other threads about your patronage of LL small establishments (as opposed to the Supermarkets) and say how,although you probably know already, how On Your Side I am..


but that list there tipped me over the edge - I applaud you sir

Oooooh, can't resist, just to annoy Sean here's my list, almost all the ingredients from Sainsburys this morning (last minute lunch guest)


Soda bread and smoked salmon

Sirloin steaks on rosemary potatoes and lemon rocket salad

Chocolate brownies with hot chocolate sauce and Green & Blacks vanilla ice-cream.


To save me from going straight to hell for supermarket usage I should say it was all cooked from scratch and the soda bread was homemade with buttermilk from SMBS.


Hee hee

I have just had homemade fajitas (chicken with peppers and red onion) - served with homemade guacomale - all ingredients bought at Sainsbury's (yes, shoot me, shoot me now) ... and very yummy indeed. The one redeeming feature is that aside from the tortilla wraps, all ingredients were organic.

Twas almost as good as last night's meatloaf with organic streaky bacon wrapped round it - a recipe from Mama Cherri's Soul Food cookbook. Oooooh it was lovely - and I convinced myself that with celery, peppers, garlic and onions all included it Wasn't That Unhealthy Really.


And can I just add... I was in the queue at Sainsbury's last night with Other Forumers. I shall reveal no more....

      Fines for parking in loading bay for 2 minutes - appeal?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage.    Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park?  It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.

      Thanks - an overnight stay,  a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!

      Derelict Grove Tavern

      By jazzer · Posted

      Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
