Ennui, *Bob*.


It was interesting, it's not any more.


Like Tillie I was engaged with the recipe story, whilst momentarily distracted by the use of 'canon'. I intended no insult or humiliation, nor invited a musician labouring through midlife crisis to unburden his quiet desperation upon my tired shoulders.


What's your favourite lamb dish?

I actually snorted coffee out of my nose when I read this.

Don't forget though that if you ran the deer over yourself you are not allowed to have it, but if you happen to be lucky enough to be the next car coming along then you can pick it up- happy disembowelling!

( I'm doing turkey fajitas from an Old El Paso packet today btw)

Another top winter warmer:


4 red onions, cut into 8 pieces each. Into a pan with a little oil and butter, touch of salt, lid partly on, medium heat, until onions are soft and starting to colour. Then strip in a couple sprigs fresh thyme, stir. Tip onions into round oven proof pie dish. Grate 50g strong hard cheese on top.


In separate bowl, mix 250g plain flour, tsp baking powder, 100g grated strong cheese, tsp salt, and combine with the following liquid mix: 1 egg, 100ml milk, tsp English mustard, 40g melted butter. Knead lightly into dough. Flatten with hands into disk to fit pie dish. Put dough disk on top of onion/cheese. Into oven 200 for 15 minutes, then turn oven down to 180 for further 10 minutes.


Take out of oven and invert pie onto a serving dish.


Serve with watercress dressed in a little olive oil and balsamic.


Yum.

So I cooked Jeremy's chilli verde on Saturday. He didn't quote measurements on quantity so I ended up with excess sauce and mixed that with some steak mince, onions and beans to make a beef version to go alongside the pork shoulder. With loads of fresh coriander blended in it tasted great - very Mexican. Kind of like what you expect Gus Fring to be cooking up at home in Breaking Bad.

I tell you what my favourite pasta sauce at the moment is - cavolo nero boiled for a few mins and whizzed up with garlic, a few anchovies, parmesan and a dob of butter and mixed with fresh pasta. It's bloody delicious. Has to be fresh pasta really. Mr Asset has a problem with the anchovies so we have to have an amended version with capers - not nearly as good.

On February 26, 09:43AM I said I'd share a channa recipe.

It's 15 mins prep (you don't HAVE to have a blender).

20 mins cook.

Get you rice on the go before you do this channa, so it's ready by time channa's ready.

I got this off www a few years ago and trimmed-it for my taste.


Ingredients:

? Can or two of chickpeas (you can use other beans like kidney)

? 3 tablespoons oil

? Pinch of asafetida (Hing)

? 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

? 1 tablespoon gram flour (Besan)

? 4-8 tomatoes (it's hard to get this recipe 'wrong' so you can tailor it to your prefs)

? 1 teaspoon ginger paste

? 1 teaspoon chopped green chilies

? 2 teaspoons coriander powder

? 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

? 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder

? 1 teaspoon salt

? 1/4 teaspoon garam masala

? 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro (Green coriander)

? I chop up some onions/tomatoes and mix with salt/little sugar/chopped coriander/lemon juice for a salad (a bit like what you get for poppadums at curry houses)

Method:

1. Drain the water out of the can of chickpeas and wash the chickpeas well. i don't drain them actually

2. Blend the tomatoes, green chilies and ginger to make a puree. I actually make batches of this and freeze bags of it to make prep quicker when I need it.

3. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oilto see if it cracks.

4. Add the asafetida and cumin seeds.

5. After the cumin seeds crack, add the gram flour and stir-fry for a minute.

6. Add the tomato puree, coriander powder, turmeric, red chily powder and cook for about 4 minutes on medium heat.

7. The mixture will start leaving the oil and will reduce to about half in quantity.

8. Add the chickpeas and a half cup of water and let it cook for 7 to 8 minutes on medium heat, covered.

9. Press some of the chickpeas with a wooden spoon against side of pan so they soften. Note: add more water as needed to keep the gravy consistency to your liking, and let it cook for few more minutes on low heat.

10. Add the garam masala and cilantro. Let it cook for another minute.

11. Garnish with that salad i mentioned earlier.

(My son said it would take him 15 minutes just to get everything out of the cupboards etc.) We had roast chicken with sage and onion stuffing, roast potatoes and parsnips , carrots and gravy. Jar of Sainsbury's Jalfrezi for the left-overs tomoz with boil in the bag brown rice.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area
