Yeah I was joking. To be honest the order sounded like heaven. I was busy making gildas and opening a bottle of Pet Nat whilst I wrote that message

Yeah I was joking.

I pretty much assume everyone is

busy making gildas and opening a bottle of Pet Nat

Case in point - i have literally no idea what these are, so can only assume you are making them up.

Anyway. We had carbonara tonight. Toddlers love it. It takes minutes to cook. Win all round.

(No guanciale, because lockdown. Fatty pancetta did fine.)

Also realise that I've got though a bottle of Madeira, and a bottle of Marsala this year, just making tiramisu.

Aren’t gilda a type of pinxto?

I found some poppy seeds in the cupboard so made some cake. It's a shame poppy seed cakes and
swirls are not more popular in the UK.

I don't really go to McDonalds nowadays, but this was a pleasure to make from scratch

Holy Shit.

How much do I need to pay you to come to my house and bring / make that?

Any recipe/instruction?

• Get some pork mince. Season with salt/pepper, then flatten down into reasonably thin patties, half an inch or so. Heat skillet with oil and put the patties on. I normally go for 4/5 minutes each side on medium heat

• Get an egg ring, place on the skillet and crack your egg into it; stir the yolk a little with a fork. Normally takes around 3 minutes or so.

• Take your standard cheese slice and place it on top of the patty whilst it's still cooking, so it melts a bit

• Assemble with muffin; to get the egg out of the ring I normally just take a fork and loosen it from the inside

Pretty easy, really.

half the joy of a McMuffin is picking the residual plasticheese off of the greasepaper.

top effort.

do a McFlurry next!

Sweet, thanks! Wondered if there was any other seasonings/flavours involved in the patty but simply seasoned pork couldn't be easier...

Can we at least mark this stuff NSFW?

Thanks.

Looks like a damn good approximation.

The Sausage & Egg McMuffin, favourite treat food of Michelin star chefs worldwide. Only slightly exaggerating too.

How do thermapens stack up against other food thermometers? Are they worth the premium over cheaper ones? Also what's the difference between the classic and the professional. I can't see any difference in the descriptions.
Cheers

They react really quickly and accurately and ime last longer.

Made Bancone's silk hank hankies at the weekend, thoroughly recommend.

I want to do a 'Sunday Roast' on the BBQ this weekend, potatoes and veg ive got, anyone got any inspiration for what meat joint goes well on BBQ?

Can be long and slow if needed. Not lamb (gf hates it).

(my local butchers list if at all useful https://fa5f7257-c8ae-4e40-bfd8-4ff219fc6b41.filesusr.com/ugd/da0409_c3da93cbf70447cd83e27f343f75ce74.pdf)

Chicken - beer can or Ixta Belfrage posted a really good looking soy marinated spatchcock chicken

I've never nailed low and slow on the bbq but there's a whole thread dedicated to it.

If it were me and not doing chicken, I'd do a steak, bc it doesn't take long to cook so you can get all yer veggies done and then nail the steak and warm the veg up during the resting period.

go buy a boerie and thank me later.

Cheers. Looks like they are reduced to £36 on their website so went for one.

Okay!

Uped the dosage! Almond, poppy seed and whisky cake.
