Does anyone know the deal with ID? Do you have to give them it if they ask for it? Does stopping you give them a right to go through your pockets if you don't have any? I'm pretty sure I don't legally have to carry ID?

Who gave you the FPN? The constable that observed you crossing the line on an amber light, or a colleague stopping you further up the road?

What offence is the FPN for?

It was the bike police that saw me. FPN for 'Contravening Traffic Signs'.

Got a ticket for banging through an amber turning left because of a diversion on Oxford Street this morning.

I assume they will be infesting that area (New Oxford Street - Great Malborough Street) for a while.

Get a real job you pig cunt.

ACAB.

^ Mainly NJ.

I had a Patty and Bun on Friday night - the Ari Gold was pretty decent and really messy (it's next to Slefridges). I am partial to Shake Shack (my favourite burger in London) but have been shot down a few times!

Lets not get into this...

Oh shit! Grantham. Hometown of Maggie Thatcher. From a local lad (Nottingham).... sorry about that ;)

I'm ordered a Sansaire Sousvide Circulator a while back. Cannot wait to play with it.

Looks pretty epic. Looks more complicated than day-to-day italian ragu, I doubt the cherry toms, sage or lemon juice would usually feature, would prob be straightforward mince too, beef with maybe a bit of pork in the mixture. They'd never have the patiance to cook shin for 5 hours for a ragu... bet it tastes good though!

Man, it tastes so good.

But true - I am a fiend for lemon in anything, but especially with tomatoes, just feel like it accentuates the acidity really sweetly... I'm going to do a mince version next...

Anyone have a killer Ragu recipe? I made a shit load yesterday and would be interested to hear what other people do.

150kg Chicken Livers

Brown Beef in Olive Oil, in batches. Skin sausages and break into chunks, add to final set of beef being browned. Remove only beef and add soffritto. Soften in fat with sausage until transluscent. Throw in garlic when soft, and all herbs except basil. Soften for another 2 minutes. Add red wine and scrape bottom of the pan to release meat browning. Cook down until volume has reduced considerably. Stir in finely diced chicken liver.

Blanche Plum Tomatoes and remove skins and and seeds. Break apart/chop and add to dish with whole tube of tom paste and cherry toms. Add all of the beef stock. Cover and simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally

After 3 hours, add first handful of torn basil, check seasoning and add tbsp. Of RW Vinegar. Meat should be tender and fall apart.

Remove lid and simmer for another 90 mins to 2 hours until reduced down. Add lemon juice (to taste, but I used a a whole lemon) and just before serving throw in remaining basil.

Served with either polenta or fresh pappardelle, covered in a blanket of parm.

So - My girlfriend is friends with someone who did all the branding for the launch of Foxlow - apparently it was booked out within 5 MINUTES and they had over 5000 emails! Bonkers.

I bought this years ago, it's been sat in my cupboard since then....

Still available!

Anyone interested at £30?

Cheers C, yeah I got the seeds, thanks! :^]
We have only ever eaten lardo finely sliced, cold as antipasti.
I have heard of it draped over hot stuff (i.e. grilled asparagus or bruschetta) - is that how you would use it?

Can you pick it up anywhere in London? I need to try this, sounds so amazing!

Food and friends are pretty much the best things to spend money on.
Always worth it.

Best thing anyones ever said on here.

I wouldn't worry too much mate, they'll basically have you drive around the DMV carpark.

Glad you're enjoying it though, your analysis of living in America for the first few months are almost identical to mine when i first moved over!

What time did you email and how quickly did they email back?

Will keep a close eye out for sure.

I got U-Turned into yesterday. Wound up crashed into a bus stop... Glad your ok though mate! Not sure what you can do with his plate other than hope he learn his lesson, though.

I saw 2! cyclists on the way back.
They were both in Nottingham though so they don't count.

It counts! Where in Nottingham do you live?

Spotted. One utter chief rolling out on his dark green bike, with brown leater taped bullhorn, into oncoming traffic on Mildmay park at about 8:25 this morning. Made a whinging little noise when I told him to look where he was going and that he was a muppet.

Ice Climbing at Wrangel st. Elias NP, Alaska, 2009.

+1 enjoying the regularity plus getting good results from the espresso blend so happy to stick with it

+2!

Tried 3 or 4 different beans now and all have been great!

Nasty! Hope he called the police, immediate £1000 fine if you car door someone.

Anyone know the cheapest place to get filters for a one cup dripper?

That coffitivity app is hilarious.

What shape?

Regular flat bottomed ones are a couple of quid from my local tesco, conical ones for my V60 I bought for £3.50 from Coffee Circus in crouch end, but I'm sure most places that serve decent pour over will have them...

Rogue, didnt bother to look U-Turn infront of High Street Kensington station from some guy in a massive SUV = me riding into a bus stop.

Depends on what you get. None of it is high end, for sure, but it's daily And I've had a few duff batches from them for sure, but take it back and say so, and they'll always swap it for you. Staff are sound and know their stuff if you ask. But some great stuff for the price, and most of the time great. Also their teas are great.

I can attest to this - my Cousin, Joe, one of the best guys out there, works in there. If you see a guy with a cast on his hand, wobbling about, thats him... He got car doored by some guy a couple of days ago when riding down mare street. Give him some condolences!

still about? I'll take em off your hands.

Ugh, just noticed the Black Logo. I didnt even realise. RIP rider.
