We're both a bit bacon'd out now.

That's unpossible. Strong work Clefty.

Saturday night's beef stroganoff with chips.

I also did 2 brioche style coffee cakes and 14 jars of green tomato chutney yesterday.

^ Nom and ^^ nom!!! I love stroganoff, what's your recipe, Chris?

I made a porchetta with a big shoulder joint of pork yesterday... Mountains of it left so going for a big breakfast sandwich with some of the gravy (added blackcurrant jelly and a coupla oven-dried tomatoes to the cooking juices, a-ma-zing!)...

I just use the rick stein one - simple, quick and keeps the steak rare. I also added some sliced portobellos to add some more flavour. Lovely.

I love pork shoulder - season skin with crushed fennel seeds and salt, stick it in the oven overnight at about 120.

mrs cf bought a carboot load of kurly kale (sounds like a sesame street reject) yesterday - wut do?

It's a cabbage basically and frequently prepared in the same way - steamed or wilted. Remove the thick stalks first though. Good with pork and fish.

I normally treat it like spinach, just takes a bit longer to cook down... I season it with salt and pepper then glug some olive oil and squeeze lemon juice over it... Nom...

It's good through mash as well...

Remove stalks then stirfry with chili and garlic. Lish...

Again, remove stalks, and boil with peeled potatoes to turn it into a curly kale mash. Accompany with pancetta and a smoked sausage or a nice boerewors...
Gravy and picalilly required....

New to forum, mainly been over on the bike building threads. But have just discovered this thread which has become my new favorite. I have got lots of pics of things I have cooked and baked I can bore you with.
1st one is somthing I'm very proud of.
Cooked this beauty for Mrs TD and 15 of our friends on the occasion of her 40th B'day

Nice "Before" needs an "After"

And the wine list. Hopefully a painfully expensive shiraz.

Hmmm, that's about as rare as I like it... ;]

Tridiver you're doing it very right sir.

CF Moro do really nice garlicky spinach with chickpeas, which should work with kurly kale no problems.

also can use it a little like cabbage...http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/nov/01/cabbage-recipes

cheers loin - i think mrs cf is doing her usual 'throw half of chinatown in a wok and hope for the best' trick - it usually turns out pretty good.

not a fan HFW at the best of times but that bubble and squeak looks like a winner.

Can't find any after pics, but we did wash it down with some very nice Barolo.

Oh and this was one of the puds.
