What's for dinner?

this made me drool....

It was the first one we made after my mum bought a kitchen blow torch for my other half at xmas, we had no ramekins so we made it in that fucking huge metal dish meant for pies..then ate the fucking lot - man we felt so sick after - but it was goooood. It's a pain to make but worth it.

I should get some pics of the epic chocolate fondants we do.

you know you starting something here, right?

Some random goodies.
Calzone vegetariana @ Globe

meatballs for tea. i love any beef and pasta concoction.

Tortilla FTW

That's what I will be making tonight might even chuck in some courgettes

Tonight i got nothing in, nothing planned and £9 to my name till next tuesday... Monk fish is out of the question then

This week MOC is on call, which means he's at home all day - which means we can have proper baked spuds!
Tonight, Baked Spuds with a mushroom, beef steak and horseradish filling. yummm

@slag Baked spud and beanz/cheese FTW!

and unfortunately lobster is as well.
You'd be able to rustle up a tortilla for under a £1.00 though, 6 medium tatties from your local grocer and 6 eggs, should last you for a couple of days as well.

I have a Basque flatmate, tortillas roll fluently around here!

Recipe please.

there is the Portuguese version for crema catalana - leite creme!
Never tried to make it thou. It's all about the burning

Basque cuisine rocks, probably the best in the world!

spag and meatballs tonite. pics later

Recipe please.

we usually halve the quantities, which does 2 large ramekins fine, but if you dont have ramekins (buy from Robert Dyas) then a metal pie dish is best, as you need to blast it with the blow torch afterwards.

Also make sure you dont put too much sugar on the top when you blast it- as it ends up burning.

note: this is Creme Brulee not Catalana - which is slightly different and flavoured with oranges I believe?

Crema Catalana is done with cinnamon and lemon peel, sometimes orange is used instead otherwise it's pretty much the same.

Lunched at Gaucho today. I had ribeye medium rare, frites, bearnaise and half bottle of Catena Malbec. Not the be all and end all, but a damn good lunch.

i've only eaten two toast and two biscuits today. what is wrong with me?!

i've been stocking frozen 'fruit de mer' which is easy to add to pasta for emergencies
or late nights..

spaghetti (or linguine if you're a bit posh)..
hand full of the frozen 'critters' steamed..
a couple of fresh rocket leaves.. drizzle of olive oil..
rock salt and crushed black pepper
done..

a great supper, finish off that bottle of wine sneeked from the bar..
and watching 'the wire' on DVD collection..

That is **the **Stable diet! Fiddys kitchen is made for smoking and drinking (with a bit of bike mechanics and drunk pants dancing thrown in) so no packed lunch, its just down the canteen for Jacket spud, cheese and beans, cheese on first!

Did you know the speed at which the potato cools alters the density of the potatoes flesh.
if you Karate chop the spud hard enough to split it but not batter it all over the hungry looking MOC it will be lighter in texture. no idea why but I heard Slater talk about it and it works!
Cut it with a sharp Knife and it stays firm with pockets of air escaping without passing through the rest of the spud

you are inumerate and struggle with numbers higher than 2?

I like mine crispy though, great thing to order in a bar in Poland at 4 in the morning helps sober you up for more drinking.

Hippy may agree with me........

Busy saving money for the alcohol thread?

meze mangal.

100% legit.

Balki, is that real?

Looks fucking weird if I'm honest, but it could be nice.

Then again.. anything could be nice.
