You carry on. Good work.

Me too I was just bored and I googled "aubergine meme"

Improved varieties through selctive breeding. The bitterness is palatable, but salting will still reduce it and I think improves the texture too.

To a certain extent. Salting Aubergines does help if you fry them however as Aubergines act like a sponge in the presence of oil I really don't bother frying them any more.

Roast them. With a 'drizzle' of olive oil instead.

Makes them more tasty too!

Good point!

I practically dry-fry mine, just a tiny dribble of oil in the pan... I don't bother salting either... Delicious in melanzane parmigiana that way, they've almost melted when they come out of the oven...

^ That looks nice!

Added to recipe list...

Just back from the Flat Iron.

Still a very decent bite to eat - and now central

Still £10?

Yup, exactly the same price as before. - they had a wagu option today for 20 quid but I decided I'd rather have a couple more drinks.

They currently don't have the Bloody Mary but I made an empassioned plea to bring it back (many others have done as well, so here's hoping). The service was really great as well - and we bought some of the little cleavers for xmas presents.

The lack of bloody mary and the new plates the steaks are served on are the only annoying things about the fully fledged restaurant.

still huge queue?

Nice, will be there in the new year (monthly)

still huge queue?

No, straight in 7pm Friday night table for 3

Now I'm living at home & I'm nearer to family this christmas gifts are of cake. My cousin & his family are having their first English Christmas (they have been living in Sweden) so I have made them traditional christmas cake (with fruit soaked in homemade coffee stout) & a yule log. I hope they like them...

Turkey crown and a coupla wings purchased... Tonight I assemble the christmas turketta!

Anyone ever seen a place that rents fridges for like a week at a time? Don't think ours will cope

Our Turketta®©™ came out amazingly, cooked it at gas mark 1 overnight and it was beautifully moist...
Replace pork shoulder with a turkey crown (with some dark meat also rolled into it)... My new stuffing recipe also came out great, Mrs TS said that was her fave bit...
PS The Turketta®©™ gravy was incredible, did nothing to it but reduce the juices by half... Wowzer!

The idea of Joe's special stuffing needs mind bleach.

And a lots of plopping.

Pitiful trolls are pitiful...
