[sheothebudworths]

I'm taking my son to that 'orrible London (I'm off out for a few drinks with my mate and my mum's taking the small boy to the reopening of St Pancras ....then tommorrow I'm taking him to the reopened transport museum, so it's a double whammy of transport fun for the lucky little bastard! Jesus.... ), so will knock up a couple of halloumi and black olive wraps before we go, then probably have a quick cheeseburger at McDonalds just before I drop him off.....

Cor!!!!! That sounds yummy!

A question though - do Americans not do roast potatoes as the norm then?

 

[aqua]

apparantly not

 

[mrsfran]

Sausages! Maybe in a casserole, maybe with mash. I love sausages!

 

[sojourner]

pizza - wolfed down in about 30 seconds flat just before I fly back out the door for yet another marathon drive.

 

[wtfftw]

Bacon and lentil stew. Well, it's more of a casserole actually since I'm cooking it in the oven, but it's much the same either way, and very nice.

Stew! Well, probably technically a casserole as it goes in the oven but that's a mere technicality.

My stew was lovely.

 

[moomoo]

Probably ready meals from Marks as we are popping into town.

 

[foamy]

DC - was the pecan pie from a christian bakery? "and that they may have it more abundantly"

tonight we shall have sundried tomato and black olive chicken risotto with red pepper, smoked garlic and shallots.

tomorrow i'm going to have fish and chips by the sea and sometime this weekend i need to get a slice of pecan pie and a slice of pumpkin pie... all this talk of thanks giving has made me hungry

 

[Detroit City]

A question though - do Americans not do roast potatoes as the norm then?

on occasion...but they are more into mashed or baked, however

for thanxgiving it is almost always mashed reg potatoes or mashed yams

seemed just like a regular posh bakery to me...don't really know, it was my first time going there but the pies were un-fookin'-believable

HOY FURKY! GOT A BIRD FOR YA

 

[Firky]

Yam yam yam yam yam!!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm with garlic butter, couscous, pine nuts and a bottle of red wine.

Yam yam yam yam yam!!!

 

[tarannau]

Yam with couscous? And pine nuts too. Firky's gone poncey fusion cuisine crazy.

Save your yams and cook up a good Guyanese metagee when you get a chance. Leave the mixed meat and saltfish out by all means, but it does allow you to use as many types of yam, eddoes and dashee
as you can stand. Basic recipe below courtesy of a Windies Usenet

1 lb. green plantain
2 small eddoes (cocoes)
1 small coconut
1/4 lb. yam
1/4 lb. cassava
4 ochroes
1/4 lb. pumpkin
1/4 lb. saltfish
1/4 lb. mixed meat (saltbeef and pig's tail)
1/2 onion
1 tomato
1/4 of a hot pepper
1 sprig thyme
_Method._ 1. Clean and cut up mixed meat. Saute (fry lightly) and then boil in 1/4 cup water for 20 minutes. 2. Clean and soak saltfish for 20 minutes. 3. Scrub, wash and peel vegetables. 4. Grate coconut and add 1/2 pint water. Squeeze thoroughly, then strain off the milk. 5. Remove pot from flame and pack vegetables, saltfish and seasoning in layers, putting the "hardest" vegetable (plantain) at the bottom, and the saltfish on top. 6. Add the coconut milk and return the pot to the flame and simmer for 30 minutes. 7. Put pumpkin and ochroes on top of vegetables and allow to steam for the last 10 minutes.

Jam some casarepp in there if you can manage too. Made some the other day and it's a fine thick winter stew.

 

[Firky]

saltbeef and pig's tail eewww!

 

[sojourner]

pizza - wolfed down in about 30 seconds flat just before I fly back out the door for yet another marathon drive.

NOT pizza as it turns out, cos mate was meant to be picking it up before we went out, and now he's not coming

toying with the idea of just picking up the girl, driving straight to Blackpool and getting some pizza/fush and chups there

Well, it is Friday

 

[Zorra]

Accidentally made a shepherds pie type thing - butternut squash, mushrooms, red onion, beans, loads of garlic, thyme and red wine, topped with mash and lots of cheese and bunged in the oven.

Then an M&S 'this is not just a cheesecake - this is a cheesecake that cost five pounds' for afters

 

[soulman]

Fish pie yum yum.

 

[feyr]

i am having roast sweet potatoes with roasted red peppers and maybe red onion too, with steak, and maybe onion gravy. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

nom nom nom

forgot the peppers, but had yummy steak with sweet potato chips cooked in olive oil, salt,pepper,garlic and chilli flakes, with caramalised red onion.

still pretty hungry though so may have a piece of ginger cake ( gluten free so it may be a disaster!) or a side salad with goats cheese
