That is cultured.
I'm nursing a POORLY man. I can tell he's out of the danger zone now, because he's hit the loud whiny stage.

I'm poorly too.
I'm waiting to get an apetite so I can eat before bed.

Are you being loud and whiny?
I suspect that really only works if you have a female in the vicinity. You know, who actually cares.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:05, Reply)

No point, for the reasons you state.
I'm not really whiney to be honest, it's nice to be looked after (from what I can remember) but no point complaining.

I'm all emotional what with being tired and ill and feeling crap about letting everybody down (I know I didn't, it's a personal quirk) and so prone to blub over nothing.

A while ago.
He needs a grown up to look after him.

I wonder if anyone will adopt me. I seriously contemplating watching a STeven Segal film, might be time for bed.

You need looking after, no, not 'need', but 'deserve'.

If only the gods above didn't conspire to keep us appart.

Thank you Gonz. I'm actually better today, thank christ. And I know I can probably relax for another couple of months.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:03, Reply)

Oh good, I'm pleased you're better, but I think you at least deserve this weekend of being looked after.
Just so you know, for dinner I got Aromantic Duck, just 1/4, but if there were two people around, I could have gotten 1/2. You get double pancakes and double hoe sin, but not double veg. You're the kind of girl who I wouldn't even slowly get worked up with 'cus you've made 4 big fat ones and we're running out of crispy skin. I'd just be happy that you're in my company. But if we were having prawns with it, I'd count the prawns, no girl is worth an unfair proportion of prawns, except maybe Ma' and Tu, but I have completely different intentions with them.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:14, Reply)

You're so cute.
You can have ALL the prawns, on account of how they're horrible and fishy and I don't like them. But crispy duck pancakes are all of teh yummy. And I would definitely wrestle you for the last bit of crispy skin.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:19, Reply)

You really don't like prawns? I love them, they're probably one of my fave meats. I wish I lived in somewhere like Main (in the states) where Lobster is like £5 for a whole one. If lobster was affordable, it would be my #1 choice.
Totally would take you up on a wrestling match for the last bit of crispy skin though, I'll pretend I lose on purpous. I've always wondered, right, I love Chicken Skins, it's the best bit for me on a roast chicken. You can buy loads of skinless bits of chicken breast, but what do they do with the skins? They'd make a fucking wicked snack ala pork scratchings. Duck too, although normally duck is sold in the shops with the skin so it isn't a wasted by-product as it is with chicken.

If I went to the pub and they sold slightly crisped up chicken skins sprinkled with romsary or thyme, or something like that, I'd pay money for that, even though they'd be binned normally.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:28, Reply)

They make cheap chicken nuggets with them.

(berk, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:29, Reply)

It's part of that pink gunk stuff that they use to extract from the carcuses of premium chicken? Oh man, what a complete and utter waste of a potentially wonderful byproduct.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:32, Reply)

Yerp
sorry Gonz. If you get your meat from a butchers, or buy legs/thighs etc, they more often come with the skin on. Or you could ask your local butcher to save you a bag of skin? Although that sounds many kinds of wrong, if I'm honest...
(berk, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:34, Reply)

I did actually do that when the awesome-o-butchers in Cockfosters opened, but they kept on forgetting and telling me to come back in a couple of weeks...
.... but then after 3 months of me asking every couple of weeks, they said they buy them without the skins anymore. I've scored free pork skin from them to make baked scratchings, which was alright (I just wanted to make them and try them, rather than actually eat them properly... this is one of those dishes that I made more for the creation than the eating).

I got 5 big lamb kidneys today from there, and he only charged me 50p. I've never had them before, but Valantine Warner cooked them yesterday and I really want to try them. I figure for 50p, worst case, I'll bin them, but I do like Liver and I hear it's quite similar. I know how to prep them. I also bought 5 best-cut lamb chops that I'm going to do with a chili jelly that I have.

Lambs liver and red onion with mustard mash
should be pretty good.
(berk, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:43, Reply)

Do you do them quick and hot?
I've thought up a couple of ways of doing them
- Sortayed with Onions, and then a sauce using marsala, paprikia and cream.... on toast.
- Sortayed with Onions, and then flashed with brandy (or whisky), a bit of curry powder and cream... on pasta.
- What you've just said

I do a pretty mean mustardy mash these days, but I find making mash for one is a bit time consuming, but I like doing it with those israeli baby potatoes, skin on, with spring onion and mustard (and naturally lashings of butter) through it. At least if I do it that way, I could use the rest of the potatos for another dish.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:51, Reply)

I am quite a fatty, not extremely, but I am really over weight.
But it's very very rare that I finish a meal, or even have half a meal.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 21:02, Reply)

The one with marsala, cream and paprika sounds nice
although I've never made anything like that myself.
(berk, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 20:53, Reply)

Cool, that's the one that Valantine Warner used.
Ahhh, no, not Massala, it was Sherry, which I believe (without knowing) are very similar. Can you buy small bottles of them? That's one of the things that annoyes me, sometimes I want to cook with something, but have to buy quite a big bottle, when I don't really want a drink or to use up so much cupbaord space.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Fri 7 Oct 2011, 21:06, Reply)

I use the justminiatures website
partially because I collect them, but also as you say - I may want to make something that requires 3 tbsp of, I dunno, Frangelico or Calvados or something, but not want to spend £20 on a socking great bottle I will never finish.

In the UK One...
... Jamie blitzed up a chicken carcous into a pink mash, breadcrumbed it and offered it to the school children who were watching. Everyone was like "Ewwww, that's grose, I'm not trying that".

Did the same thing in the states, and they were fighting over each other to have some.

although that basically is what cheap chicken nuggets/burgers are. The kids in the US watched him do it but still wanted to eat it? Grim.
