I fancy doing something in the slow cooker tomorrow. Any suggestions for something that I can set off in the morning before work ready for when I come home?

Nope I don't do Parks and Rec!
injokes >>>>>>>

your an injoke.

Santa Maria del S. is great.

Went to my friend's latest (don't hate me) pop-up in Brighton on Saturday. https://tabl.com/events/141144 The last one was great, this one was furking phenomenal. Five courses of obscene deliciousness for £37. He's been offered a partnership in a new restaurant in Hove on the back of these and fully expect him to do great things with it in the next couple of years. Honestly, I'd drive to Brighton and back in the dark and p*ssing rain all over again just for that ox chek ragu. I keep day-dreaming about it.

Having read of people raving about peanut butter and avocado combos, i just smashed both on top of some toast.

Dissapoint. I think it just mutes the flavour of each of them, which is upsetting as they are the two best things in the world when in isolation. Pretty filling though!

beetroot and peanut butter however is not bad :)

I stuck some prosciutto into a hot cross bun, pretty pleased with myself.
(Da meat is 270g for £5 at K C Continental Stores)

PB and beetroot?! Mind-blowing.

Beetroot is high up there on my list of best things so this will be getting a test run soon! How do you eat said combo? In a sandwich / on toast?

indeed a sandwich

beetroot, feta, red onion, dill, in a tart with a little smoked salmon egg custard, deliciousness

I read this as custard made from smoked salmon eggs.

Challenge accepted.

Bandeja Paisa, hangover sorted..

I make a very simple tomato sauce by roasting little tomatoes, garlic, onion (and pancetta or chilli if you're in the mood) in olive oil. Keep the garlic in its skin until it's roasted and squishy, and then get the skin out.
Roast it for 25 minutes or so, add a slug of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of sugar, then squash it all together with a potato masher.

i'm way late, but subtract the tomatoes and some diced carrots to the initial "roast" (you mean sauté, no?) and skip the sugar / meat / chilli. Then add the tomatoes and simmer it down.

*i started out meaning to only suggest carrots in simple tomato sauces, and then realized you were doing it totally differently from what i'm used to by adding the tomato at the beginning and roasting it and adding a bunch of other moody stuff.

all the best hangover grub has a fried egg :)

Ruddy 'ell. Is that from one of those places in Brixton Village?

I firmly believe that pan fried potatoes need to be in any such concoction. I will eat your menudo, mexicans, but I will have a side of homefries with it.

That said, if I am ever in a columbian food-eating land, Bandeja Paisa looks almost exactly perfect. I guess chicharón substitutes for fried potatoes in a pinch.

Calentado 4lyf!!!

Did the steak look overcooked to any of you when he is taking bites? I mean I bet it was cold and there was a bucket right by him to spit into after each bite but still.

Im off there tonight, as its just down the road from my G/F's I thought Id give it a go

good lad. i hope you skipped lunch.

Off here tomorrow for the bottomless brunch

Reading their menu has made my stomach rumble so much, and I hadn't even read the words bottomless brunch at that point. Fuuuuuck.

Just finished.

Was pretty good - service and atmosphere was meh but the bad egg burger is terrific.

Oh looks good!

What's the deal with the bottomless brunch? Is it as magic as it sounds?
