I made a well lush dinner last night.
Mixed dried wild mushrooms (Trumpet, Cep and some other one I can't remember) + button mushrooms, sauted off in butter, flambayed with whisky, poured cream and parmazam cheese, then realised I reduced it too much so I added a few spoonfuls of marks'n'sparks carbonara as I didn't have any other cream-type stuff.... I then tossed pasta through it and served breaded rose-veal escolop* on top.

* I thought there were two in the packet, but there was only one, but it was big enough to share for two. I was supprised by how cheap it is, £3.50 from Marks'n'sparks... much nicer than some sort of chicken burger.

Girolles?
That sounds fucking delightful, Gonz.

I can't remember, but I love dried wild mushrooms, as there is no where local I can get fresh wild ones.
Oooohh, I also poured some of the hydrating water in with the creme sauce and the rest of pasta water.

Porcini are actually favoured over fresh ones, I understand.
The Italians believe the drying process concentrates the flavour.

Ohhh, I think I've got some of them dried too, but can't remember.
I think they're right, but the texture isn't as nice when they're rehydrated.

Sounds delicious
but I can feel my arteries harden at the thought of it :S

There is a bigger M&S opening near us though. I may need to have a look soon.

Is there an M&S in Manchester?
Can anyone help?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Apr 2011, 9:46, Reply)

There's 2 in Manchester itself
One near Piccadilly one on Market Street

Let me guess you ended up at the Wetherspoons on Deansgate all wearing 'waki' t-shirts with your nicknames displayed on them
'No knob' Jeff that sortof stuff. The groom then had sex with a toothless prostitute by Picadilly station

Waay off, pal
but it was fun anyways.
( Frisbee TeaBoy, Tue 12 Apr 2011, 9:59, Reply)

Yeah Rory, it was quite a long way from Piccadilly Station ACTUALLY.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Apr 2011, 10:01, Reply)

A knocking shop in Swan Street it was then
What a classy bunch

these kind of hen and stag parties are horrendous
I used to hate them coming through the airport. The fat, drunken welsh women were the worst. *shudders*

Having said that, the boys usually had much better costumes and themes. The girls just had t-shirts with 'Cock-sucker Kate' on the back. That's class right there. You can't buy that kind of style.

I was teasing the boy, Pookers old bean.

I was actually being serious.
Aldi are ace, they still have a pramface perception from years ago.

Great for ham, cheese and beer I understand.

One good thing the French are good with is coffee.
They call instant "sock" coffee. On account of its aroma and taste.

6/10. Cumulative.
Uninspired.

You're leading the way this morning. You and Sporters.

I'm watching you closely and waiting for an opportunity to pounce
You have been warned
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Tue 12 Apr 2011, 10:10, Reply)

I'm going to ask you for a pass on the first strikethrough opportunity you encounter
in exchange for not pointing out how gay and rapey that sounds.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 12 Apr 2011, 10:12, Reply)

Agreed.
You've just used up the pass though.
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Tue 12 Apr 2011, 10:14, Reply)

Well that was a very civilized start to proceedings
Somehow I doubt we can maintain this level of decorum
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 12 Apr 2011, 10:17, Reply)

A low-key start to the day
decorum arousal
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Tue 12 Apr 2011, 10:18, Reply)

6/10
And you only got the 6 because the word "arousal" amuses me

Hey! I said it was a low-key start! No need to mark it so harshly!
You gayers are so prissy.
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Tue 12 Apr 2011, 11:24, Reply)

Next time if you think
you've reduced it too much use a couple of tablespoons of pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce. Works a treat!
