i'm making pumpkin soup quick and easy to make the secret is to roast the pumpkin then add chicken stock,nutmeg and cream and blend it all together with a stick blender taste out of this world

YUUUUM!

Pizza is coming don't cook on Fridays!

don't blame you it's already saturday afternoon here

I made eggplant pizza with mushrooms,green pepper,ham and
4cheeses.Make the dough myself.Side dish of green beans.
And a couple of Jack and Gingers.

nothing better making something yourself

I agree,why let this talent go to waste.Plus it just tastes better when you make it yourself.Got to keep the Garland in shape.

you get more enjoyment out of it because you made it yourself and it's something you like

I'd like to get back into it professionally,spent 25 some odd years working as a sous chef among other things.
It's tough this time of year here,most cookeries close for the winter.We depend a great deal on the tourist trade.And lately in the summer they have been importing a lot of Jamaican and Russian labor for those jobs.Kids getting out on there own don't have a chance at a job,so they move out of state.

give it a go

HUuummm! I love an 4cheeses pizza! :-)

Well... I went out with friend, had some beer to commemorate my anniversary, but didnt eat.

@nogds9, Can I invited myself to dinner? :-)

I'll trade with you:)San Paulo must be wonderful this time of year.

@nogds9,

Ok! São Paulo? Not so much! But I am not in São Paulo.
I am in Rio de Janeiro. :-) :-) :-)

Dont you think is betterrrr? ;)

I have a better idea!!!

You come here for the weekend!
We go to Ipanema Beach, very early in the morning because the sun is very hot (38/40°C) and your delicated ferge skin would resist. After, we will go to my home for you to cook this delicious pizza for me.
After, I will show you the city thru the eyes fo a true Carioca (carioca = who born in Rio de Janeiro).
Finally, at night, we will seat around The Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, drinking a cold beer and having a good friendly chat, with a sky full of stars.

What do you think? Fair trade?

@luacheia,
Sorry I forgot and took a chance that I was correct.
Rio de Janeiro it is,I'll never forget.
I'm white as ceasar's ghost and only turn pink and red in the sun.Very ginger.
Fair for me,not for you.-4`c daytime,-10`c at night.
Sounds like I would have a wonderful time.

Tonight I'm roasting a game hen with some root vegetables(potato,parsnips,and carrots with garlic,honey and butter.)Will make some cranberry sauce also.
Maybe a small salad.Jack and Ginger will be showing up in an 8oz. glass over ice.And will wash this all down with part 2 of "the Year of Hell" Star Trek Voyager season 4.
Bon Apitite!

Rabbit with some carrots

@nog
Make enough for two.. I'm on my way over. YUM!

@nogds9

You are always coming up with delicious sounding meals! Do you do any japanese inspired recipes? I am totally into japanese food. Just wanted to pick your brain. If have anything interesting from your repertoire, post it for me in the Ferengi Recipe Thread if you please.

roast duck, baby rost potatoes in their skins, aweetcorn and red wine grav. Then brie and biscuits and a few glasses pinot grigio

maybe too many glasses of pinot grigio hic

Quack,quack,sounds great.Love brie baked in pastry with honey.I lean more to a Riesling when I have brie.

Nagila nephew

are you sure you are not Yogi with your penchant for honey?

'eh eh eh lets go for the honey, sonny'

or is it ?

'Just look for the bear necessities old Mother Natures recipes.......'

wow, fish tacos are my favorite

@Nagila Uncle,I believe that eating honey often helps people that suffer from allergies build an immunity to these allergies.The honey must be from the area that you live.I also allow myself to be stung by bees while in my garden to help keep the immune system healthy.

Hey Bubu!

tacos love tacos

Broiled haddock with bur blanc sauce,broccoli,and baked potato.And another episode of Star Trek Voyager.See you all after dinner.

Thai food spicy pork pad thai

love Thai food for that matter any eastern food Japanese Vietnamese any thing from that area
cheers

Yeah I sit around letting bees sting me too, and sometimes I sting em back just to show em who's boss, now I got the immune system of a Great White Shark baby!!

@courious,very funny:)
Thought you might find this interesting:http://www.beevenomtherapy.biz/

that's a product of NZ

@courious,thought it might show you the many uses of bee stings.That way I wouldn't have to write it all down for you.It has been used as a cure for many ailments for centuries.

cooking chicken cassarole tonight basically chiken,potatoes,carrots,onion,paprika,chicken stock,cream,wine and salt and pepper to taste baked in the oven for 1 1/2 hours

@luacheia

Hey I live in the UK!

@quark,

It is good! Gives me one more reason to visit England! I still dont know it and for me, nothing is better then to dinner with a friend and to known a diferent country :-)

great aussie bbq again ya just cant get sick of a bbq

how's BBQ Roo taste??

Yuk! I'll pass on that, its too "gamey" On the other hand crocodile steaks are delicious.

Now as a Ferengi I must point out that gree worms are delicious

They are very juicy, some say they are best eaten slightly toasted.

I prefer them live but caution must be taken for a live gree-worm can bite.

They can also be Jellied.This is very popular with Ferengi children.

They are similar in taste to your Aussie witchetty grub.
(which are the larvae of cossid moths , ghost moths, or longicorn beetles)

@curious
roo's alright but you have to have it rare other wise taste like rubber

hot dogs

pasta with turkey and tomato sauce

i'm having laasagne tonight

stir fried chilli prawns and rice

Beef stew in the crockpot!

Roast Beef, Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding
Savoy Cabbage, Garden Peas, and Carrots
Peaches and Ice cream

My second favourite.

just plain old homemade pizza for me.

taco`s

free range chicken, white wine gravy roast potatoes, carrot, turnip, parsnip and butternut squash, and a nice glass of chablis.

Similar to Quark but more refined (obviously) -

Roast beef (or pork), roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, Savoy cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli with a nice rich gravy. Heaven.

Nagila Mekon

Why did you feel it necessary to post

'but more refined (obviously) -

If it's that obvious you did not need to say it.

AHFA

@Quark I thought mekon meant my dinner was more refined than yours lol

@windsorboyd

No, it would have to me the other way round surely? LOL

i'm having cheesy pasta with brocolli

I just had a Grilled Chicken & Bacon Ranch Wrap, with lots of Red Leaf Lettuce, Onions and Green Peppers, it was so GrEaT!!!(I feel like tony the tiger, but without the stripes)

meat pot tato`s lol

you gotta love vegetables that hard liquor is made from ;)

I made grilled pork ribs and macaroni and cheese...YUM

@curious
I can almost hear you purring lol

I usually eat a Television Dinner away from the Television, Hah! Eck! That stuff is horrible, I managed to make some Broiled BBQ Pork Chops (tastes just like steak, I was a little confused when I got out meat to defrost) And also a baked potato, and fresh broccoli. Now thats a well balanced meal, oh yeah, and some red wine, it makes the nights just a little bit warmer.

i am having chicken risotto tonight

tomato soup

spaghetti carbonara and garlic bread with a few glasses of pinot grigio

lamb tikka masala with rice . my recipe . and some hand poured sothern comfort,

Grilled Baramundi in a Thai Marinade with pawpaw salad

home made pizza on the webber nothing better

i'm having spagetti carbanara

@ashgauld

OK if you'll pardon the pun, I'll bite.

I know what spaghetti is but what else makes it carbanara?

Having Surf-N-Turf. Starting with a nice salad and then some New England Clam Chowder. Prime Rib/Lobster with home baked potato and sour cream. Also shrimp and clams on the side. Finishing with Chocolate fudge cream cake covered in sweet cherries , whipped topping and chocolate fudge sauce.

You better set an extra place joker that sounds fantastic! I'll bring the wine.

@quark cream bacon and raw egg yolks stirred through cooked spaghetti till they are lightly cooked. I know it sounds horrible but it is delicious. If the eggs are cooked too much they scramble and aren't as nice. Mine was shop bought though (shame on me too lazy to make it proparly) don't know about ashgauld's though?

tonight it was mussels and ciabatta bread

@paddedbag pick me up i'll come with you, was too busy answering Quark to read what came next. Hold on Joker you shouldn't be eating that dessert, better leave it all for us!! lol

@joker
If set an extra plate for windsor and paddedbag, serve a seat for me!

oh good a pah-T!!

Garlic shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce over angelhair pasta with a Caesar salad and a nice chianti. I love seafood and also Italian food!

@windsor
If you have a nice sauce for mussels let me know.

I don't mind a nice Italian myself mrsjerry ;

@paddedbag

The spicier the better!

well I've had a bit to drink so its kebab all round

I shall be mainly sticking to vodka tonight though I may have some crisps and a pizza at some point.

@windsor
my dinner was made from scratch. i never buy anything like tat in from the shop. it doesn't taste that great

@aushgauld everything is so much better when you make it yourself, i only buy ready meals if there is no other option. Made tonights mussels myself though, and have a beef with red wine and guiness casserole in the slow oven for tommorrow as we'll be out all day.

Tonight: BBQ chicken and bacon pizza. Fun, low-maint. dinner. Had a long week.

W.

grapefruit w/ sugar. (haven't been to the grocery store in awhile)

subway tonight, feeling lazy

@windsor
everything does taste better from scratch. i never ever buy ready made meal. what i do sometimes is have a day where i do lots of cooking things up, then portion it individual portions in plastic tubs and put in the freezer. it just means that i cantake them out when i'm doing 12hr shifts or just can't be bothered to cook.

cocktail frankfurts and steamed dim sims snack night

Nagila.

Tonight I made Mini Lasagna Pasta with a tomato, Meat and Sweat Onion w/garlic flavored sauce and Garlic toast. On my Birthday I made this for My boyfriend.

AHFA

sounds delicious thetrekhippy but shouldn't he be cooking you dinner on your birthday?

Haha, thats nothing, I had asparagus, with cheese broccoli rice-aroni, and barbecued chicken, haha, Trekhippy, yours sounds way more appetizing...

Nagila trekhippy,love garlic,your boyfriend must too:)
I drove 30 miles to get chinese take out,spring rolls,lo-mien,broccoli with garlic sauce.

AHFA/AHGBG

BBQ pork sandwiches and FF.

Tonight I'm going out, probably to the new sushi restaurant to see if it's going to kill me or not.

lamb kebabs

Mmm.... uncooked fish, and Lambs on metal prods, talk about some rare tastes we have tonight. Actually, I have had Lamb before it was interesting...

Tacoburgers .. was a long day and only took like 3 mins to make...
Tomorrow night: Fish n chips.

This weekend: Home made calzone...

Dutch Hamburgers and homemade french fries

Scotch after dinner!

It was old el paso tacos as daughter had dance class 30 mins after I arrived home. Tomorrow sweet and sour chicken balls, staemed rice and spicy shanghai noodles.

@fozzybear

How do you make a hamburger dutch?

@mrsjerry

Dutch Hamburgers:

Lean Ground Hamburger, 4 Rusk (dry bread), Dutch Spice called "Gehakt", some milk and 1-2 eggs rolled up in a ball and grilled. They can be ate as is or with the usual bun.

Have you ever had dutch style mayonaise with fries! Very bad for the cholesterol but tasty!

Not much to it really, tasty though!

Mrs Jerry; Also search the forums for a thread on food and a link to a bulette recipe...we made it and it was top-notch, just like I remember them tasting when I live in Germany...

W~~~

@fozzy my eldest daoghter loves french fries (we call them chips in scotland) with mayo, I think that's the european way to eat them, me i prefer brown sauce

tonight i think it will be stovies. they can cook all day on the hotplate and be ready with almost no effort.

@fozzybear

Yes I have had the dutch mayo with fries. So you use the rusks as a filler/binder crumbled into the beef? Where do you get the "Gehakt", do you have to go to a dutch store? I make nasi horeng, which is an indonesian inspired dish from Holland.

home made pasties they were great

Kippers and chips

sorry its just hot dogs tonight while i watch the footy the bombers crush the lions

looks like *tonight* is fish and chips night. Tomorrow is home-made cream of potato and garlic soup with andoulle (sp) sausage and hot peppers.

Shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta,stir fry bok choy and broccoli,and small salad. Couple of episodes of Voyager.

Nagila Nephew

One day you'll invite your poor old Uncle Quark over to sample your gastronomic delights.

Ah well in the meantime I'll have to make do with Shepherds Pie.

AHPFA

@nodgs9
im jealous. of both the meal and the choice of viewing.
enjoy.

My Kartoffeln Suppe is coming along nicely, been simmering in the slow-cooker all day. Went with sweeter onions, roasted garlic and a double-portion of keilbasa in this version....

ETC (Estimated Time of Chow): 2.5 hours.

Will top with finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

W~~~

nothing's for dinner, I'm broke

Nagila Uncle,
You are aways welcome,plates are in the warmer.Bring Grandmoogee and father,we'll have jellied gree worms and wine for desert.Found a lovely Riesling Ice wine thats pure ambrosia.

Last hour of the cooking of the kartoffeln suppe, I threw a couple of cans of corn and a dab of butter into the soup, topped it with mozzerella and served with a warm roll and butter. Yum.

W~~~

Nagila Nephew

I'll see if I can get the ship to work properly and we'll descend on you. If you'll pardon the expression.
BTW you know your Grand-Moogee & I prefer them live.
They wriggle so nicely as they go down.

Do you have any Liebfraumilch now that's a lovely wine.
If not a reisling is a good substitute.

See you soon (I'll try to find your father as well)

AHPFA

Nagila Quark

You'll eat and drink what you are given when my son provides.
Where are your manners?

I can see we must have a heart to heart talk.
Your Brother is no longer to be trifled with.

Nagila Rom

Son, just you provide what you will and if I may I'll bring along a suprise dish for your pleasure.

By the way I have re-instated Brunt to his former position and if he behaves he can stay as Liquidator
that should please your Uncle.LOL

Chili Con Carne on corn chips, topped with sour cream and salsa.
There is an extra place set for you curious.

Nagila father,
Not sure if Brunt would be welcome,his loyalty is never true.Bolians beware.Uncle will be livid.

AHPFA

Nagila Nephew

No not livid only amused.

Liquidator Brunt has no hold over me, in fact he must kiss my staff.

Your Father will agree I am sure as he knows he must support a Deputed Grand Nagus or put his own position at risk.

As you say Brunt is duplicitous at the best of times.

AHPFA

@nogds9 & quark

Ferengi Alliance conversations should be kept to that thread.

@quark How many times have you chastised others for doing what you have just done?

Having pata and shrimp in a white cream sauce and maple walnut icecream covered in boiled down surup.

This is unrelated chat and no rules have been put forward excluding the Ferengi Alliance from conversing.

@joker,is that boiled goose down syrup?LOL

@nogds9 No this thread is about what is for dinner/supper.

@nogds9 No not boiled goose down syrup. It is Maple syrup that has been boiled down until it is very,very thick, but not turned to sugar.

Nagila Joker

Sorry I got carried away.

I might use this expression if I were not a Ferengi.

'I'm only humaan after all'

AHFA

well for dinner i'm having haggis, neeps and tatties

@ashgauld not home made i presume, if it is you are very brave, and how did you get a hold of a sheeps stomach
only kidding i 'm very fond of haggis the best one i've ever had was in the Kensington resteraunt in pollockshields. I would never attempt to make it myself , mcsweens is very good though

ok I know what haggis is and I will take my Mum's advice and say nothing at all about that, but what on earth are neeps?

neeps are mashed turnips and along with mashed potatoes they are said to bring out the best in a haggis, it's very tasty actually!!

I will take your word for it but I can't see it appearing on my menu anytime soon.

Spicy chicken with apple sausage, pan-fried potatoes, and a salad.

@ashgauld. i like that too.
@paddedbag.
neeps and tatties mashed up with butter milk and pepper is really good.not just with haggis.

@windsorboyd
rumour has it im going to make my own haggis this year, however it may stay as a rumour. lol.

I am delighted you all enjoy your haggis so much :)
On your recommendation I will give it a try.

And all the pigs are fed and ready to fly.

@paddedbag,
no probs fly them to me on a blue moon and i will make us all black pudding.
x

eeeeuuuu, haggis is not enough? you have to throw in black pudding too?
*shudder*

black pudding is nice if you don't dwell on what it is made with lol

Fresh sea scallops broiled with morney sauce,wild rice,steamed broccoli,radichio salad.

i'm having fresh tuna sliced into strips with stir fry veg (leeks, onions, peppers, carotts, broccoli, beansprouts, green cabbage) with a balsamic dressing, absolutely fab only realised very recentley that tuna is 'meaty' enough to do this with

@windsorboyd

ah now that sounds nice, set another place!

@paddedbag do you want a side order of haggis and black pudding with that, it's no trouble for a friend (though i will have to pop out to the 24hr tesco for them)

@windsorbody

I will pass on the haggis and black pudding thanks, a girl has to watch her figure.

Boneless chicken cut thin, breaded and quickly fried, not thoroughly cooked. Chicken then lines the bottom of deep baking pan cover with tomato sauce, cover that with cheese, layer with cooked pasta the cover with more tomato sauce and another layer of cheese. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

I have also used Alfredo sauce over the chicken, that was interesting. Baking after light frying fully cooks the chicken. A layer of spinach or chopped broccoli my be add but increase cooking time accordingly.

2night it's champagne to celebrate being back online !!! will have to start immediately and drink fast because i'm driving the horsebox early tommorrow.

Hey the champagnes' a good idea,got a bottle or two here somewhere,got to get it on the chill.Do you think it will go well with shepherds pie and soda biscuits?

Nagila Nephew

Well that will be a quick way to get drunk I expect.


AHFA

Going to the oyster bar. I like the raw ones with a hit of tabasco or two. I can't wait. Champagne will go nicely as well.

at a friends tonight, child friendly so we all went. had scallops. and musells in garlic butter, fahitas with, chicken mushrooms sweetcorn peppers sugar peas. really nice and to finish romonov and a cheeseboard.
child had so much too eat he fell asleep, we came home and... we are all back on line.brill
x

Sounds like a great time!

@mrs jerry
yep it was i am so full i can hardly lift my wine glass to my mouth. lol. all gone to bed now about to follow. take care
scared to go in case your not here in the morning.
wasnt that scarey?.

I was bowling this evening - 1900 'till 2100 - so I had a light meal. Tuna steak, brown bread & butter, butter beans, tomatoes and pickled onions. Quick and easy to prepare and I really enjoyed it.

tonight it's ocean trout with a fresh herb,mustard & lemon crust can't wait

Kippers! fried in butter. yum yum

I am not following this seafood trend, its steak sandwiches for me.

@paddedbag
love steak with or without the sandwich.
tonight i am having........ a night out in a restaurant !!
will eat as much as i can and have some bollinger to wash it down. shall post my menu when i come home.
belated xmas night out so will make the most of it.

champagne and pizza for me tonight at a local italian resteraunt, no children yipeeeee!!!

Ginger chicken, stir fried vegetables and steamed rice.

@mrsjerry make enough for me too, am big eater.

Am having chickwn also but mine will be lemon-pepper.

@joker

There is always enough for the unexpected guest at my place! lol

It's Tuesday and it's my curry night again.

Diced lamb in a hot madras sauce over pilau rice with scrambled egg and peas. With chile sauce and raw onion strips to garnish. and a couple of Popadums on the side. Sliced peaches and icecream to follow.
My mouth is watering already have to go get it!

Surely Uncle you could do without the ice cream.Since becoming Grand Nagus you've become a bit pudgy.

Having large tiger shrimp glazed with hoisen and fresh ginger root then broiled,peas and mushrooms in a light cream sauce,and rissoto,with a small salad. A little Port and light music to follow.

Dough boys.

I have no idea what it will be. She just called from work and asked me to make some bread dough for when she gets home. I'll keep you posted.

Nagila Nephew Nog

But my bowling holds my weight in check! LOL

It's very good exercise.

Just finished the curry had a pint of coca-cola with it debating when to have the peaches and ice-cream.
( I am not allowed alcohol these days mores the pity )

Oh, the pudginess you speak of is actually, don't tell anyone will you, my money belt.

TTYL
AHPFA

i had my champagne but had fillet steak and garlicky prawns instead of the pizza and then pannecota for dessert
@quark are peaches and ice-cream your favourite? they seem to be a reccuring theme lol

@windsorboyd

You bet they are. Must be to do with my poor childhood.

No don't get the violins out.

had a lovely meal tonight. eat a lot had two bottles of bollinger . and am heading to bed very full.
menu was.
mushrooms, pork ribs,potato skins filled with cheese and ham.
getting greedy now
had steak with gorgonzola sauce.
why did i do this!!!
had a selection of desserts.
just as well this a once a year meal.
but it was great.
@quark.
i love peaches. with or with out ice cream. i am buying a peach tree this year. hope it bears fruit at some point
@nogds9
your meal sounds lovely. i am very fond of port.
@quark
do you make your own curry?
perhaps a cookery thread would be fun.
ie. what do you cook before you settle down to watch you fav proramme.
anyway. time for bed. goodnight

@merlin11,
It was a very interesting port made with a zinfandel grape,very sweet like a desert wine.A little peachy.
Perfect with Chopin.
@Uncle,
Many pardons,I suffer the same belt.lol

AHPFA/AHGBG

@nogds9 port is lovely, it's the type of thing i only seem to have at christmas, last christmas we had a lovely 20 yr old tawny one, i had only ever tried the darker onea before but this one was very nice, good with shortbread at new year as well

@merlin11

Sometimes yes but I always find that my local Indian (not US) restaurant makes it far better than I do with respect to the spices. So I usually have them deliver.

Going seriously low-tech tonight; long week, just finished, too tired to shop (and the store is across the street if you can handle that level of sloth) so: Mac N Cheese with a few tins of tuna, onion and peas. Lame I know BUT: In the next week I will be dining on BBQ at purportedly best BBQ in Texas (Stubbs) *and* snacking on some real Chicago style deep dish *in* Chicago (prob Ginos east for those who care)...

W~~~

@whiplash
That is the tuna casserole of my youth. My mom made it on those nights that she too done from the day to cook much. We as kids loved it. So take it easy! I ordered from dominos thin crust extra black olives, mushroom, italian sausage, pepperoni and onion. Oh yes I have that breath!

@mrsjerry,
made my own pizza tonight,pesto,ham,onion,red pepper,and smoked mozzarella,sun dried tomatoes.Would love to give you the recipe to make your own.
Will leave it in the Ferengi recipe thread.
Having brandy now next to the fireplace,couldn't resist after reading it in the adults only thread.

@MrsJerry;
Well, I got even lazier and dumped some frozen chicken nuggets and french fries on a pan and into the oven for 15 mins...even easier....

To be honest though I wish I had either one of you folks' oizzas...

W~~~

@nogds9
Thanks I will check out the recipe. I'm having a warmed voyant chai cream liquer with a splash of milk. My fireplace is going as well.

@whiplash
Don't burn your nuggets. Sometimes you gotta play it simple.

Ah nephew nog

Nagila I shall come to you for New Year in future to have my one tot of brandy that I am allowed per annum.

AHPFA

Well the pizza talk got to me so when the neighborhood stored had a sale on gourmet (so they say) pizzas I grabbed a "meat medley" (I need lots of protein) on sale for 4.99 US (large). *Supposedly* it is pre-sliced. We shall see. It goes into the over in about five mins.

Stay tuned, sports fans...

W~~~

oven. Oven. OVEN!

@whip

Aw I wanted to do a Mekon but you corrected it yourself.

I suppose your food was over-cooked. LOL.

@Uncle Quark I would be honored to have you next New Years.Forget the Brandy,I will break a decanter of Cognac I have been holding on to for 25 years.Camus Extra from the Grande Champagne region.It is at least 50 years old.Could be 100 years old,my grandfather left it in his estate.I'm so very curious to try it.

AHPFA

Nagila Nephew

Nog I thankyou for your generosity which ill becomes a Ferengi especially between family a simple courvoisier will be more than ample.

You never know when the profit to be made if you were to sell such a vintage would be of immense use to you I would not have you waste such an opportunity upon me.
Worthy of it though I am. he he he.
Oh dear I think I might be turning into Zek.

All Hail the Generosity of Nog
AHFA

tonight is roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, with baked vegetables, mashed potatoes and mini corn on the cobs. Can't decide if there's any wine tonight or not, bought a rose to go with it but it's a bit sweet for me. Pudding is sticky toffee pudding and custard

@windsorboys
that does sound good.
hmmmmm not sure what we are having. i think its a mothers day surprize! lets hope its a good surprize.
lol
last nite we had osso bucco, which my sister made. it was very nice, my husband stole all the veal but I ate the rest of the sauce on some chicken .

Oh my! that sounds sooo good windsor, set another place, I'll bring the wine, a Jacob's Creek shiraz would go well.

Making a New England staple,baked beans with corn bread and salted pork belly.Have not been able to get to market for the weather.

@nogds9 i've never had pork and beans but it always sounds a nice thing to have when it's cold, haven't tried corn bread either it's not something that you see over in the uk.

@windsorboyd

Sounds good too! Corn Bread is not a regular find in Alberta. Leave it to nog though his cullinary skills keep bursting out here!

@windsorboyd,
I'll leave the recipe in the Ferengi recipe thread soon.
It's common Saturday dinner fare.Nothing like the baked beans in the tin.

@fozzy,
I make everything from scratch,good wholesome ingredients.

@nogds9 when i was little my dad used to give us a cowboy breakfast at the weekend. It came in a tin and had beans, burger and god knows what else in it. I dread to think of the salt and e numbers etc in it (did me no harm though lol)

It was Curry night again tonight.

Yes Peaches and Ice-cream to follow.

@windsorboyd
it is called the all day breakfast and still comes in a tin, as well as beans burger and bits of sausage it has potato cubes and mushroom.
not to be confused with the full monty which is similar but has a bigger sausage.
it is sitting in my pantry now, special offer at tesco 93p i believe.

@quark tinned or fresh?
@merlin11 cowboy breakfast must have been what we called it, all those beans lol

@windsorboyd

'Fresh' curry restaurant bought.

'Princes' tinned sliced peaches from 'Iceland' in syrup. yummy.

Easier than having to prepare from fresh!

Fish with potatoes and carrots

Homemade chicken soup and a

salad oops

We just got back into town after being gone for a week so its Subway (double-meat w/bacon clubs on sour dough) to the rescue...I promise to do better tomorrow ;)

W~~~

Pot roast with garlic mashed potatoes,glazed carrots, coleslaw and steamed asparagus. (of course there will be gravy and lots of it!!)

@Mrs Jerry: Trade you...:)

well.... tesco still have my dinner!!. did my online shop, new driver brought order. helped to unload . he left .,,i realised that there were no veg, no fresh meats, milk butter or anything. so waiting for him to come back and defrosting one of my curries. my game casserole will be tomorrow as will sticky toffee pudd.

spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread and salad

God am I a lazy git; I am treating my wife and I to the other half of our Subways from last night. Sigh.

I know I am going on like I am surprised at my sloth but let's face it; I knew damned well what I was doing last night when I ordered double portions....and believe me folks: sloth has momentum.

W~~~

Taking the shepards pie out of the freezer. I made it on Sunday from the left over pot roast and potatoes. I'll probably slice up a cucumber and marinate in an oil & vinegar with dill dressing for a side. See @whiplash everyone does leftovers.

I did my leftovers yesterday.Tonight I've got some fresh sole,going to stuff it with crabmeat and bake,top it with a sherry cream sauce.Went to the garden this morning and dug up some parsnips,this time of year they are very sweet,will roast them and have a small green salad.

@NIP

All my leftovers go to one of two places.

1. My dogs stomach.

2. My curry pot.

We made a run for the border tonight (Taco Bell Grande Pack, 10 soft-shell tacos for like nine bones). I will be able to graze on this for a few days...


As I said, sloth has momentum.

W~~~

tonights dinner will be roast lamb.:(
with baby boiled potatoes crushed with butter garlic and rosemary.green beans
home made meranque for dessert .

home made smokey bbq ribs, potatoe wedges, popcorn and juice (kids movie night tonight)

there will be salmon involved, side dish not yet decided

Rest of last nights :0

Tomorrow I promise to do better, and better almost always involves dead cows, bbq sauce and or hot peppers.

I can't wait.

W~~~

I had my weekly curry tonight.

But followed with Bramley apple pie.

spaghetti flambe with prawns

anybody wants it the recipe is in the ferengi alliance recipe's thread

OK I missed the major points all around but decided to kick things up a notch and make angel hair pasta with a cream/cheese sauce with ham and bacon, dusted with hand-grated parmesean cheese.

sounds good

@romeo: yep the missus likes it alot. Its actually pretty simple to make and the best part is that angel hair cooks twice as fast so I can make the whole thing in 15 minutes if my ingredients are prepped. Finish with some toasted garlic bread and have some nice spumoni for dessert. Makes a nice meal.

W~~~

OK I faked it. Was busy power-watching Crusade and season 7 of CSI, ran out of steam so tonight was scalloped potatoes and sauteed ham with garlic. Basically bought one of those tubs of pre-made scalloped potatoes and a ham steak. While the tub of taters was nuking, I heated some olive oil, diced half of the ham steak and added it and a tablespoon of fresh garlic, sauteed till potatoes done, mixed it all together and served, topped with shredded parmesean. Served two for five bones and just as long a prepare time.


W~~~

Today was for me different.

Cod fillets in a flour and water batter(liberally seasoned) and then deep fried with chips (UK definition of) with heaps of garden peas and sliced runner beans.
But yes peaches and ice cream to follow.

it's rogan josh tonight for dinner with saffron rice and some naan bread

if anybody wants the recipe it's in ferengi alliance recipe's thread

Fresh caught smelts rolled in cornmeal and pan fried,angelhair pasta with garlic oil and sautéed summer squash.Homemade soda biscuits with blueberry compote made from berries I picked last summer.

@Nog you were doing *so well* until you hit the squash ....the rest sounds heavenly. Think I am going asian tonight: grilled chicken breast sauteed in olive oil, fresh garlic, sweet onion and ginger, top with Yoshida sauce (its the weekend and I am feeling lazy), serve with rice.

Tonights meal comes as a dinner and a show package: Since starting work at a Japanese company, trips to Japan are in my future, like soon. During a cultural training class I took, Japanese kind of rate you on how well you use chopsticks. Thus am serving meals like this a lot and the missus and I bought this 1000-pack of chopsticks to practice with. And the laughter ensues....

W~~~

As a hint, most of my efforts that are successful look less like an attempt to use chopsticks and more like a shish kebab experiment...:)

Usually if we get tired/hungry we can always resort to the bovine model, grazing. Screw it; there is no one else here to see us...;)

W~~~

Nagila Nog,

I had to google smelts, I have never heard of them. It all sounds lovely including the summer squash.

AHFA

Nagila paddedbag,
I drove to the lockes which are only a couple of miles away early this morning before light.With my net and a flashlight I had two quarts of these sweet little fish in five minutes.They are popular fare here in Maine this time of year.I've been doing this since I was a young child.Next month I will put my crayfish pots out and enjoy a feast on those.When summer comes I go to the ocean and catch crabs and winkles(a type of snail)and dig for clams.There is also a type of kelp I love to eat that I collect myself.Yum,yum.

well i've had visitors all weekend so Friday cold buffet with pasta salads, coleslaw potatoe salad, crusty breads cold roasted sirloin and poached whole salmon. golden syrup sponge and custard. Saturday home made pizzas and chicken pakora baked banannas and anaretto ice-cream. Sunday jacket potatoes roast loin of pork on the bone, baked ham, roasted pears , shallots and apples to garnish the meats. carrots, green beans and sweetcorn, Baked squash and baby courgettes for the vegetarian (which are the only vegs she doesn't like apparantly)biscuits and cheese to follow. Tonight? leftovers (squash and courgettes in abundance lol) and gravy and lashings of wine !!

Leftovers from Easter Dinner. Will be eating ham for next week. Lucky I like ham.

@windsorboyd can i stop in? Just save me some of everything.

I love this thread! I learn so much.

Nagila nog thanks for the info on the smelts.
I live in a area where fishing is a big part of the economy so am very familar with crayfish and crabs which are harvested in abundance here along with huge qualities of prawns, (I think you call them scrimp), I have even eaten winkles if I am correct in assuming they are the same thing as we call periwinkles, but clams we don't have.

nagila windsor,
Again I had to google. this time for courgettes only to discover they are the same thing we call zucchini. There are worse things to be stuck with qualitys of, they can be served in so many ways.

AHFA

@paddedbag,
Winkles,periwinkle are the same thing.I'll gather about 20 pounds of them and steam them,then clean and pickle in vinegar with cloves of garlic.Put them in large glass jars and store in the frig.I like to snack on them or cook with other seafood.One batch like this lasts about a year.I think our idea of crayfish might be different,the ones I catch are from fresh water and are only about 8 centimeters long.I think what you call crayfish is what we call lobster,which is my favorite seafood.

AHFA

@joker more than welcome

@paddedbag strange what is different , do you call aubergines eggplant, but aubergine is a colour too how does that work. We call them prawns too, shrimp is tiny prawns
@nogds9 we have crayfish and lobster, lobster is red when cooked but our crayfish are white when cooked!! they look like v. skinny stunted relatives of lobster, not sure if it is the same in AU

@nip i love this thread too, it's such an insight into peoples lives lol

oops forgot to mention we have clams thry're lovely and scallops . Lobster is my favourite though i love shellfish, one of the pizzas we had at the weekend had prawns, mussels and squid rings on it. Loce squid as well but it is best from our local cypriot restaraunt

@windsorboyd,
The crayfish I catch right out front of my house in the lake.They turn red when cooked and resemble tiny lobsters.Down in southern USA they are used in Cajun and Creole cooking.
In the summer months I go to the mud flats at low tide and dig for clams.Mussels are great and in huge abundance along the coast of Maine,I'll have a meal or more all year round.Sauteed in butter and white wine and garlic,you can't beat it.

chicken mignons with cheesy potatoe's and blanched aspargus

Sometimes the simple things are fun: home made macaroni and cheese with ham, onions, mushrooms and peas.

Comfort food

Nagila nog

The crayfish I was refering to are saltwater crayfish and are quite big, 30-45cm and more than a meal in each.
We also have a fresh water variety that is probably very similar in size to your crayfish, called redclaws for obvious reasons.

An interesting story about redclaws is that our fisheries department here in Queensland stock our big dams and water reservoirs with fingerlings of Barramundi for recreational angling. They are an excellent eating fish. To help with that process they also stocked them with redclaw because they are a prized food of the Barramundi. But of course mother nature has had the last laugh. The redclaw have reproduced wildly and are now in such huge quantities they have almost become a pest.
The Barramundi have also reproduced and grown at stagging rates feeding on the redclaw.
But alas an angler dangling a piece of bait on a hook has absolutely no chance of ever catching the overfed Barramundi.

AHFA

Nagila

Tonight I made salad of iceberg lettuce, purple cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic cheese bread crumbs and ranch dressing. Then we had Mini Lasagna in a mushrooom, onion, beefy tomato sauce with garlic cheese bread.

AHFA

Tonight I was lazy, frozen pizza, three meat.

Mellow: stir-fried steak strips with garlic and onion in a Hawaiian teriyaki, served with snow peas, water chestnuts on a bed of sticky rice (which I need to go rescue)...

W~~~

@whiplash

Leftover pizza from two days ago kids went to Grandmas for dinner with Dad and I fend for just me tonight. See sloth is a personal thing I can embrace on occasion.

How come you didn't go to grandma's with the kids and their dad? Are you a person grandma don't like? Or do you not like grandma. My husband hates to go to my mothers house. Too bad. Family is family.

Hi shortcake,aren't you the CURIOUS one?

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

let's get back on topic here friends

@shortcake

As you are a newbie I would normally leave a message in your Guestbook. But personal attacks are not allowed on this site.

However funny you think your comments are, you should remember you are 'speaking' to a person.

Please curb your insinuations. Thankyou.

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

I just asked that you curb your insinuations.

Do so or be reported.

Oh that frightens me I guess my avatar can lure all of the guys into infidelity online. Like they couldn't get more from porn or their own wives?!?!LOL

@shortcake

If your husband has caused you grief by his online activities, that is unfortunate but taking it out on mrsj is just not on!
There is so much more I want to say to you but out of respect and love for the people of this site I will curb my tongue. For now!

let's get back on topic here i'm having grilled fish {blue grenader} for dinner with salad and chips

nagila romeo

sounds delicios, I don't know blue grenader, it's not a variety we get here.

AHFA

nagila padded

very nice and tasty fish and firm good for bbq

AHFA

Nagila romeo

I love seafood maybe I should move closer to the coast in Canada. I am considering a change of cities or provinces.

nagila mrs j

you know what they say a change is as good as a holiday

nagila romeo

I might be making a big change soon and it would be 16 yrs coming oh my!
AFHA

nagila mrs j

well hopfully its for the best good luck

AHFA

Nagila Romeo

All positive so far thanks for the wishes of luck!

AHFA

no worrys

Man I can think of, oh probably 1000 reasons not to go to the inlaws and none have anything to do with infidelity. To paraphrase the comedic genius Larry Miller who said:

That was Einsteins theory of relativity; time seems to go more slowly when you are with your relatives."

:D
W~~~

Well what`s for dinner pasta rolls and a side of (rabbit food )haha odo.

Well it was going to be teriyaki chicken and thai noodle salad but my son just informed me that there is a dead rabbit in my backyard so maybe I'll invite the mother-in-law over. Didn't you have arecipe for rabbit Odo? LOL

Yes i do lol got it from @romeo haha (sorry bunny man)

Odo

I'll have to skin it first yuck. Oh and doesn't shortcake go nicely with putrid rabbit? LOL

nagila mrs j

cut rabbit into pieces fry in pot with one chopped onion and 3-4 bacon rashers cut into 4 pieces for about an hour use about 1-2 tablespoons of oil drain on paper towel after cooking its great with a nice gravy

AHFA

@mrsjerry you skin rabbit easy can tell you how ?
it`s not hard . me a side of hot fudge and icecream and brownies and smartes and banana . Oh snap going to go make now

greek green beans with lamb shanks

ingredients:
3/4 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
3 garlic cloves crushed
1 kilo or 2 pounds green beans trimmed
4 large tomatoes diced
4 teaspoons sugar
salt to taste
4 lamb shank

directions

1. heat oil in pot over medium heat.cook and stir the onions and garlic until tender.
2.in a seprate pan brown lamb shanks and drain well on paper towel.
3. place lamb shanks on the onion and garlic mixture place beans,tomatoes,sugar,salt and beef stock enough to cover everything in pot try and give it a stir increase heat to high and cover and bring to the boil then put on low and cook for an hour remove lid and keep cooking until all the jucie's have gone nearly once you remove the lid turn up heat so it keeps at the boil maybe another hour cooking

forgot to mention in the ingredients around 4-6 litres of beef stock

Nagila romeo

I had to throw the rabbit away as I am not sure how long it had been dead in my backyard. I also think the skinning part would get to my stomach.

Tonight is taco tuesday! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

AHFA

MrsJerry, thats not easy peasy, White Castle is ;)

Which is what is for dinner today. I am a lazy git although I did make a nice one last night (slow-cooked BBQ pork. At least I think it was pork, might have been rabbit ;)

W~~~

@whiplash

Mmmm I like BBQ pork. I do that in my slow cooker about once a month or so. Since I work in retail I have had too many fast food lunches over the years, but sometimes nothing beats a burger and fries!

@MrsJ: Well strange as it may seem, I really don't get that fired up over food like I used to; had a GB a few years back to get a handle on some diabetes and since then only eat *very* tiny amounts, not enough to make it worth it most days. Most meals are about 6-10 bites, doesn't matter what it is so fast food is better for me since I don't have to work my a$$ off to make it for so little enjoyment. However, when I want to show the missus that I love her I tend to do the whole Emeril thing....also, since I do all the cleaning, shopping, working and cooking, I reserve 3 nights a week for simple meals to keep my sanity (working 12-15 hour days doesn't help)....

W~~~

@whiplash

You are a busy guy so don't ever feel guilty or call yourself lazy! I'm sure that your honey appreciates your efforts all around!

@Mrs.J: Mrs Whip does appreciate it but sometimes I feel guilty because I really can cook well so when I cheat on dinner, I feel like its cheating on the missus since I am not giving my best 24/7. But yeah, I am ready for life to slow down some. OK a lot. :)

Sorry for the drift.

W~~~

taco`s my too on a mission for nodgs right now so had to be fast ! security officer odo

Geez have we been on a diet the past four days gang? Odo is the last one to eat, the irony of ironies being that a changeling doesn't need to ;)

The lazy git in me comes riding back out. Tonight its one of those party-sized meat lasagna's, garlic bread (can never get enough of that) and spumoni for dessert. And if you look closely you can see how this whole thing is done with no work to speak of which means I get more time with the missus (can never have enough of that either).

Say, that gives me an idea...

Grilled honey garlic pork chops. Not sure of the sides probably Caesar Salad and BBQ beans. 19 c here today almost like summer!

I think that I am going to try something I have neither tasted let alone made before. Got some Italian Sausage, thought maybe I would try my hand at a gumbo.

Stay tuned sports fans.

W~~~

parmesan crusted fish with snow peas,sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes

yep, sauteed the italian sausage with some onion and diced hamsteak I found, then put it all in a slow cooker with some corn, peas, green beans and tomatoes. Added some seasoning (cayenne, paprika, oregano and fresh garlic) and beef broth, clapped on the lid and cooked it for four hours. Cooked up some of those multicolor spiral noodles a half hour before serving with some crusty rolls and butter.

Turned out not so bad.

W~~~

Fresh linguini with garlic, olive oil and asiago cheese. Oh boy, the cat ate with me (her own iams kibble) as the kids were with dad again.

Baked beans and biscuits with honey butter and a nice thick ham steak with a salad.Homemade frozen custard with stawberries for dessert.Three episodes of "The Tudors"SO2,EO7,8,9.I hear it's going to get pretty bloody.

nice, me" hint" moo still red oh ya !

Guess who had Curry followed by peaches and ice-cream tonight?

Odo have you been drinking Red Bull again?

Nagila Nephew

He's not going to fly around the promenade again, are you Odo?

AHFA

Nagila Uncle,
Guess I've got to get his bucket ready,again.Who knows where he'll flatten out this time.

AHFA

@Odo

Steak medium rare perhaps? Lucky you I had pizza at my store.

Herb & Garlic marinaded chicken on BRB-Q with red potatoe salad.

Red curry chicken with jasmine rice and steamed vegetables

@windsorboyd
well what will i say, did you have some and eat it all?!!!! or have you never had any?

@windsorboyd

That's very kind of you. It will be most appreciated.

merlin11 i may have finished it , or maybe i didn't have enough lol

chiken filletts coated in sour cream then rolled in a mixture of cruehed corn flakes,grated parmasen cheese,garlic powder and onion powder baked in oven for 50 mins served with rataouille

meat it`s what for dinner.

2 quarter-pounders (in buns of course), fries, large salad.

followed by .....

that's right Peaches and Ice-cream

nagila quark

what mcdonalds or home made burgers

AHFA

Nagila Romeo

Home made of course but with a dressing from a jar which I spice up a little with Worcestershire sauce and some Red Rooster.
(Macs are too bland for my taste)

Mind you they started as 1/4 pounders. The weight probably reduced when grilled in the George Forman. But never mind my dog loves the dripping when cold.

Cooking Tip. for burgers done the way I do them. If too rare on the inside when the outside seems ok. Pop in the Microwave on full for 30 to 40 seconds in a plastic container. Standing time is taken up by building your burger, besides the spiced dressing I like raw onion slices and pickled cucumber.

Breakfast was for dinner! My kids love this idea. Pancakes, sausage eggs (sunnyside up) and hashbrown potatoes. Fruit plate for dessert.

nagila quark

you should try a tbl spoon of dijon mustard in there gives them a great taste george formans are great for burgers

AHFA

Nagila Romeo

Yes I have tried it but I prefer the taste of the mustard in the base of Picalilli. Dijon tends IMHO to overpower all other tastes
and I like to savour the various tastes as I eat as well as get the spicyness. Purely personal preference of course. Thanks for the heads-up anyway others may like to try Dijon with their burgers. I agree it has a very nice flavour and others may prefer it to my plethora of tastes.

AHFA

nagila quark

you know what they say each to there own good luck with your burgers anyway

AHFA

If you want to realy kick those burgers up a notch or 2 try adding some "Horseradish" ground not the sauce.

I'm thinking chili cheese hot dog tonight with chili cheese tater tots.

chilli beef with spicy potatoe wedges and cheese and garlic bread.

Broiled Haddock,Potato salad,and garden fresh green beans.

lamb gigot, baby roasts, sweetcorn, gravy and yorkies (@quark pudds not the terriers lol )
vanilla ice cream and fresh rasps.

@Merlin11

The correct terminology is Yorkshire Pudding.

To contract the county name, as you did,
in the UK refers to a chunky chocolate bar.

@quark
ooops not quite so tasty then. :)

@merlin11

Depends whether you like chocolate with your dinner. LOL.

oh dear who got diverted again.

Back to the thread

A fine lamb Madras curry tonight I think
(from my stockpot of remaining leg of lamb from Tuesday's roast).

Think I'll have a change of desert though

Pineapple chunks and Ice cream.

Whats for dinner tonight? Pain and stress. Since the cause of this is doing "time" with the in-laws for the next 9 days, it also means I will be gone from here for a while. Putting in a full day at work, then catching a red-eye to a place with little to no Internet access...I think I will have a side of Hell to go with that, sir...

W~~~

Today will be a salad and a beautiful "truite meuniere" and raost potatoes, nice cold wine, and maybe a piece of lemon pie.

I meant *roast

@ meansis

what is truite meuniere

@romeo

Fillet of fish cooked in meuniere style served with butter lemon sauce.

Yummy

@ blairf

Meunière is a classic French dish consisting of a filet of sole served with a brown butter sauce and lemon. Sole has a light, flaky texture when cooked and has a mild flavor.

mash potatoes , sweetcorn, gravy and yorkshire (smile to quark) puddings

Well it is hot here so tonight we are having a cold summer salad:
(in the morning or better, day before)
Mix in a large mixing bowl:
1 bag of elbow, corkscrew or other fun pasta, cooked al dente and drained.
1 envelope of Knorr or other dried vegetable soup mix
9 oz of shredded (tuna, turkey or chicken)
1 can of peas
6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
enough salad dressing or mayonnaise to make everything moist about 10 percent more. Based on the above, about 1/2 of a jar will work.

Once mixed, cover and store in refrigerator until chilled through and all dried veggies have rehydrated. Super easy and with the exception of boiling the noodles, put together in minutes. Occasionally I will finely dice some sweet onion into this as well. Salt and pepper to taste. I also occasionally dust the top of it with paprika.

Crud! I have to scrounge up *something* but am too tired to do much so I fear that tonight will end up being some form of horrid tv dinner...I know, some can be good but I am a cheap SOB and get them 10 for 10 dollars which assures you have a certain level of quality. Have some turkey or chinese themed meals to choose from. Made the mistake of sending the wife to the store last time they had a sale so we now have 10 different kinds of chicken nugget-based TV dinners. And you know how good those tend to be; they generally make me reconsider the need to eat.

You guys and gals have all the fancy stuff; fine, at least *my* dinner is forum-related! :)

Cheers. If I dont come back you will know what happened.

@ ged home made fish and chips are best.

@windsorboyd

Oh my. Do you have room for one more at your table?

and chicken with a lite lemon sauce.

there's always room at my table lol

@capt perogies? that's a new one to me, but the rest sounds yummy

perogies are small dough rounds filled with potato. if u make them yourself u can fill them with whatever u like -- i like potato the best.

Quarter pound cheese burger with ketchup, mustard, and pickles.

Salad made with shredded cabbage (raw) pale green variety -- never cooked (YECH!!) with an apple cut up, boca burger in pcs, clementine segments and lite raspberry vinagrette.

@tash845

Yes love white cabbage 'stumps'.
Mind you pickled shredded red cabbage is also good with a salad.

Quarter pound cheese burger with ketchup, mustard, and pickles and milk shake.

@quark

mmmm yum have not had pickled red cabbage in long time - tks.
will buy it in a jar. cannot tolerate green cabbage cooking --
the smell is awful.

friend dropped off three bunnies !!. not sure what i will cook yet but it will be rabbit. :)

@merlin

i've never had rabbit before - is it gamey tasting or
lighter like in chicken?

@tash it depends how wild they are, the wilder more gamey. A few years ago i bought farmed rabbit from my tesco in dundee it was meatier tasting but not that different from chicken and to be honest not worth the extra expense

ribs

Beef Ravioli in tomato and meat sauce. I really should have picked up some green beans to go with it, but I was in a hurry.

12" Yorkshire pudding (dish type) filled with beef slices, garden peas, button sprouts, and carrots in a thick gravy.

@windsor tks.

10:38 P.M here now

opened up tuna fish popped into
bowl with lettuce and had some eggplant on the side,
was not into cooking tonite at all.

I am a Yank and have questions:

@quark I have never had Yorkshire pudding -- is it pudding
consistency or firmer and what are button sprouts? Your meal
sounds delicious.

A&W

@tash845

Yorkshire pudding is basically a batter mixture containing wheat flour, 2 eggs, whole milk, a drizzle of rapeseed oil and a little salt. Baked and fully cooked before the addition of the meat; vegetables and gravy.
Its consistency when cooked is similar to a soft bread crust.

Button Sprouts are small brussel sprouts which still retain their sweetness as opposed to those that have grown to full size. They cook up softer than a full size sprout and are not as chewy.

You notice there are no potatoes mentioned above as the carbohydrate content of the pudding more than compensates.
(not for those on a diet.LOL)

Do try it done correctly its beautiful. You may like to try a store bought one first though to get an idea of what it should look and taste like when cooked.

@quark

Thank you, I think there is a store near me where I could buy the York. pudding. As far as button sprouts, no chance of finding those at all. They do sound much better tasting then brussel sprouts my childhood food enemy.
