I saw you had posted and immediately I knew what you'd written..

Olly i tried your crumble, but there's no flour! ended up with stewed fruit! ;p

Balls- must have been drunk when I wrote that, put 100g sugar instad of flour!
Horribly, horribly sweet stewed fruit.... wih a buttery sheen... pics or it didn't happen.

pulling your leg old fruit, guess you'd been 'sample' tasting the summer ale..

I must admit to some enthusiastic sampling of that beer. Y'know, just to be sure its good. If you are ever passing up the A1 pop in for a taste - drop me a PM.

You in?

I am

also im going to go to chicken shop dirty burger for dinner tonight. maybe

Thanks for the tips dude, will go with the grill option I think, dont want to knacker my griddle. Found a good spice seasoning for it, gonna bash the beauty on top of some bulgur wheat with a load of grilled red onion and tomato and spinach mixed into it. Looking forward to it!

Thanks Jim. Your idea sounds yum. IME mackerel is fairly soft and delicate and can stick like a bugger to a griddle. Me, I'd do it under the grill, but if I only had the griddle, skin side down and have the commitment to leave it undisturbed until the skin has blackened and frees up at the contact points. Ftw, serve with fresh lemon wedges. Oh, and open the windows before you cook dat fish.

Yes.
Thanks.
Friday.

pickling time: just-picked red onions and garlic from the veg plot

Onions, garlic, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, bay leaves, vinegar. Anything else? Fancy pickling something that isn't my liver for a change.

Sounds about right

I need to make some now, look lush

From their facebook:

Exciting news! Our time upstairs at The Owl and Pussycat has been extended by a week! Our last day will now be September 1st.

Owl & Pussycat is full of complete helms
