Innit?! :D Oh yes, you MUST come Mogden! I can touch the person's hand who spoke to Nigella then! :D

*smothers hands in Lush hand cream and picks out nice nail varnish*

:D

Bloody nora that tea were grand.

I got the chipolatas out, Asda pork, blossom honey and wholegrain mustard don't you know, bunged them in a low sided roasting tin thing as per Nigella's instructions. Then slashed up some haloumi and tore about half a jar of Pepperdew peppers over it. Drizzled over more than Nigella's recommended garlic infused oil and put some basil oil on too.

It would have taken me but a few moments to assemble this but the haloumi packaging refused to yield the salty lump and the peppers have a weird plastic thing in the top now. :mad: In the oven for 10 mins, turn round and do another 10 cos I have a gas oven. Warmed some rotis on the chapati pans. Tore up some fresh basil and sprinkled it over. Job's a good 'un. I thought it would be too salty but it wasn't and the marriage of flavours was mwah! And you do need chipolatas cos there's not enough time for fat sausages to cook before the cheese goes too crusty. On the right day it would take half an hour tops from fridge to plate. :cool:
 
I don't think this deserves its own thread, but I thought you guys might get a giggle. Just got an email:

Hi there

I hope you are well? I just came across your foodie blog, I work for talkback Thames on a new cookery show called 'Cooking The Books' and I would love to get you on the show with your favourite dish! Below is the programme outline (the section highlighted in bold is the part of the show you would be involved in)............


COOKING THE BOOKS

Cooking the Books is a new early evening stripped cookery/entertainment series playing weekdays on Five.

This is the show where we invite some of Britain’s top chefs to whip up a mouth-watering dish from their recipes books.The recipe book will be shown during the programme and references will be made to the specific recipe the chef has chosen to cook.

Jamie Oliver may cook us “hot smoked salmon with an amazing chilli salsa” from his new book “Jamie at Home”, Rick Stein might cook his exquisite Spinach, Mint and Feta Pastries from his Mediterranean Escapes book. Whatever it is it will not only look fantastic, it will taste amazing too – we’ll ask a lucky member of our audience to tuck in.

On each show we invite very special food fanatics and food related groups or societies to join us (15-20 people). They play an integral part of the show; each of them will bring along a dish they have prepared from their favourite cookery book (preferably a dish with a photo), along with the cookery book . Our presenter and star chef may have a taste of your creations and also ask members of the audience to judge some of the dishes that we make in the studio. A spokesperson from your group will have a brief chat to our presenter about what you do and what delicious food you have brought along with you. Our presenter may also ask another member of your group to assist our second celebrity chef in the kitchen when he/she challenges our main celebrity Chef; this will be a 5 minute challenge and the member of your group chosen to assist the chef may be asked to chop or whisk, but don't worry nothing too challenging!
This is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness, whilst being a great day out!


There will also be a mystery celebrity having a go at another of our star chef’s recipes. We see a short film of them whisking, baking or boiling up the dish in their own kitchen. Shot to obscure their face, our celebrity’s identity will not revealed until they join us in the studio. Having watched their efforts our star chef will give them a quick masterclass on special tips or techniques relating to that recipe (eg. filleting a fish).

The final item involves a ‘Five Minute Cook-Off’ between our star chef and a second chef or well-known foodie. One of them will pick a quick recipe from their cook book – the other will make their own version of the same dish. We watch and compare as they cook. When the time is up the audience is invited to taste them and choose their favourite.

The commission is for 35 episodes. We will be recording in Stephen Street Studio off Tottenham Court Road from 31st October for 5 weeks. The series is set to tx between November and Christmas.

What do you reckon, shall I do it? :D Also, if they want me to bring a group (it's not very clear), perhaps a Suburban75 group... ?
 
^ That sounds like it could be fun, definately go!

We had a racklette for tea with pizza and quiche....

Leftovers for stir fry tomorrow :cool:
 
I think i'm going to get indian take out from my favorite place called Mayur. Maybe an order of chicken tikka masala and an order of mutter paneer along with rice/naan? I'm very tired after work and a 60+ mile drive home. eauggh :p
 
Not sure...i need to go shopping, in my fridge i have beefsteak tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese and a tub of olives :rolleyes: though those drizzled with balsamic would do me ok but zombie boy needs something a bit more filling.

*claps hands*

Yes yes yes!!!! Me me me!! Can I come?! Pweeeeeeeeeeez??:) :) :)
 
I'm gonna have some cherry tomatoes and a sliced mushroom (only got one left:D ) and possibly some mange tout, gently fried in olive oil, fresh rosemary and garlic (maybe a bit of basil not sure yet) and salt and pepper of course, with perhaps a dab of tomato puree, and a bit of veg stock to make a thin sauce, and serve with whatever pasta I have in me cupboards. I'd like to use penne but not sure if I've got any left
 
The boy and girl are off to heo's mums for a few days tomorrow with heo :( ( :cool: :p ) where they will be fed fuck loads of absolute shite :D and on top of that, the small boy has a bit of a cold/headachey thing, so it's his choice for dinner tonight and he has plumped for fajitas. :)
 
Actually there's a couple on myspace that impersonate you - they've been sending messages out to loads of people.

Sadly, they're much better looking and have better hair than you. I should know - I went for a Indian last week with them. Very nice people; much better than the original gimpy-types.

;)


:p
