What was the story with the squatters, did they leave quietly, or did you have to get punchy?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 20:42, 1 reply, 14 years ago)

Police were involved
They actually used it as a bolthole while escaping from another squat. Still had enough time to unscrew all the windows and smoke weed.
I think they've been arrested. I'm horribly stressed. I should sue. Or something.

If they are of no fixed abode, it'll probably be difficult telling them you want to take action.
Glad it's all resolved though.

I wouldn't sue. I'm a nervy person most of the time anyway.
Crow built me stuff. It feels like a proper home now.

I've never met Lampy or her flatmate, so I don't know.
Howabout you cook something for them, and then clean the kitchen.

People would like that as a gift.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:01, Reply)

I think I would like to do that very much, what sort of thing should I cook?
Lampers is very nice, last time I saw her she seemed very happy with life, which is always lovely. Char is very pretty and cool to talk too.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:06, Reply)

I don't know Gonz.
Maybe do a 'can't cook, won't cook' thing, but asking them to choose one main ingredient for the start, one main ingredient for the main and one for the desert.

So if they said, 'ham' starter, 'lamb' main and 'fruit' desert you could then make whatever you wanted based on that info.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:08, Reply)

Oh wow, that'll be a good theme for my next dinner party.
I would like to do another one early next month.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:09, Reply)

So if you were asked to start with a 'ham' based dish, followed by a lamb dish and then a fruit pudding...
What would you make?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:10, Reply)

Chorizo (yeah, I'm counting that as ham) in red wine to start
followed by, ooh, I dunno, moussaka, then you could have crumble for dessert. Or use your ice cream maker and have cherry and Kirsch ice cream.
(berk, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:15, Reply)

ham sandwich
followed by kebab and a piece of fruit

I can totally cook

Chorizo would be perfectly acceptable berk.
I don't have an ice cream maker though.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:18, Reply)

I do.
it's ace. I made brown bread ice cream the other day; it's lush.

You said, and I can't imagine what it would taste like.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:20, Reply)

Right, if you lightly toasted a piece of brown bread
with a little sugar on it, and then put a slice of decent vanilla ice cream in the middle... a bit like that. It's really really nice.
(berk, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:21, Reply)

Sounds interesting.
I've never put sugar on bread, but brown bread ice-cream sounds like he sort of thing you'd get in the sort of restaurant you'd go to on special occasion.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:27, Reply)

That's where I first had it
a marvellous restaurant in Birmingham that the ex and I went to for an anniversary. Theirs was better than mine, I must admit, but mine wasn't bad...
(berk, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:37, Reply)

HUMMM.... *thinks*, I think I'll make it greek, and this is initial thoughts without to much thinking.
Starter would be a fig filled with blue cheese and wrapped parma ham and baked with a watered-down honey dressing. Or maybe going for a bit of a classic, honeydew melon wrapped in parma ham. Or, or, maybe, aspagous wrapped in parmaham with a holendayz dressing.

Mains I'd do lamb chops under a really intense grill so the fat crisps up, about two minutes before they're ready, I'd put a really good sweet-chilli sauce, or maybe mint-jelly (note: not 'mint sauce') over them so it bubbles up a bit. I'd do with that minted crushed potatos and petti-pois pees.

For desert, as we have very rich mains which involves quite a bit of cooking, I'll do something I can prepare in advance. I'm not big on fruit-based deserts, so maybe a Eaton Mess?

I saw a recipy on the telly the other day that I would like to try.
Cholla french toast, with cinimon and nutmeg in the egg-mix (x 2)
Cream cheese, honey and mashed bannana mixed up.
Put the cream cheese between the bread and then fry up.

Oh, Gonz. I heard something on the radio the other day that I thought would be right up your street.
You need to get yourself a (hot) sweet Blegian waffle, put a 'fresh out of the freeze' Magnum ice-cream on it and then whack the lot in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Apparently it melts into the amazing pudding.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:26, Reply)

Sweeeeeet.
I bet that would be especially nice if you used the caramel magnum.
