You would think an Irishman would want his ashes scattered over the slopes of Carrauntoohil rather than carried off on some Scandinavian myth.
I thought it was John who's on the diet?Ben

Back OT and not about itinerant teenagers...
I am now doing a Peratha experiment.
Indegrets:
Plain flour
Water
Egg
Clarified butter.
So I made a dough and let it rest for 30 mins.
Rolled it out, brushed clarified butter on it, gave it a light dusting of flour and started folding - concertina fashion.
Then made a round...
That's not a hole in the middle BTW, it's just shadow.
Then rolled it out:
Now, I am posting this whilst it has a second rest (10 mins)...
Fried them in a pan with clarified butter.
Really nice.

how tall you be, JG?johngti said:
Been doing some semi-serious training for the first time in my life. Lost 13-14kg since July and quite like being lighter but would like to hit 72kg for the cycling season so that's 3 more to go.MattFalle said:
Whats with the starvation rations JG?johngti said:Was supposed to be stew but the meat hasn't defrosted in time. Tomorrow is wedding anniversary day so Indian takeaway. Prawn dansak for me with a bit of boiled rice and a chapati.
And Friday is Chinese New Year so it'll be Chinese takeaway, according to #1 son. Going to have to limit myself to some soup and maybe chicken and cashew nuts with a bit of boiled rice.
Tonight, though, is anyone's guess.
I'm sure I won't waste away!.The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Everyone told me I was just being paranoid about that. I knew I’d heard some weird noises coming from the back of it when I walked past. Kind of a grunting, snuffling sound.orraloon said:

Baked aubergine pasta, Nigel Slater recipe found in the Guardian online.
I had an aubergine that needed using up, some cherry tomatoes and loads of pasta, so just googled what would be good.0 -
Slater gives me the creeps, but he writes very well, and his recipes always work. So, despite the feeling he has buried at least 3 Filipino boys called Raúl under his patio, I'm a fan.elbowloh said:Baked aubergine pasta, Nigel Slater recipe found in the Guardian online.

That wouldn’t have been me (unless it was an international weekend). I’m from the north you see. I was in my mid 20s before even visiting Cardiff.pinno said:

Lamb chops from Edwyns via Janice the butcher.
Pan fried with rosemary from the garden, seasoned, turn the fat crispy, mint sauce.
New potatos, kale, other bits..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Look out for lamb rump too though. Score the fat diamond wise, start off fat side down to render it, then finish in oven to approx 60 degrees and rest.

Was a while ago I did those, must do a nice meat order.0

The lentils didn’t cook evenly 🤔 Might have had the heat too high.hopkinb said:
I'd have the cocktails first. Alcohol never sits well on top of Indian food for me.seanoconn said:Making my first tarka dhal tonight with butter chicken and a cucumber raita. Followed by cocktails.

Uncooked lentils and what you mentioned earlier will probably lead to a hand shandy in the bog for you young man.seanoconn said:
