I've just cooked up a delicious tomato sauce
With onions, celery, carrots, garlic, basil and tomatoes. Cooked slowly on a low heat, then blended.
To this I have added fried mushroom (with lemon juice), red peppers and soya mince.
Now just waiting for some fusilli to cook to serve with it.

Hawt DIGGITY Dayum, ding ding ding, we have a winner.
And some people throw a wobbly if there is no meat in their meal. I'd be well tempted to piss about with Unami paste, balsamic, sugar and some other things, and I'd get it back to the point it was before I started messing about after some frantic flavour balancing.

Yup, had to do it, can't leave a jar of sauce just as it comes.
I added some chili, garlic, tomarto umani, sunkissed red pepers , sundried tomartos & a bit of juice from some pickled onions.

Works well, I'm gonna enjoy this now =D

By the time you have done that
You may as well leave the jar of sauce out.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:33, Reply)

Oh great, now I'm thinking about adding a can of chopped tomarto to beef it up and then freeze it.
BRB.

half assed spag bol
is good for me, though, it better than pasta and brown sauce

It's in the right direction ! Deffo.
The thing to remember is you can go from walking into the kitchen to having a meal inside 15 minutes, of which, 10 minute of that is waiting for things to heat up while you piss about on the computer/telly/radio/whatever... such as I'm doing now =)

Beef in beer, mash and veg.
Last night we did your spicy prawn recipe and it was fucking excellent.

Oh man, I love me a good beef'n'ale, haven't done that in ages.
Actually, I say that like I've done it more than twice, but it was fucking good. Tastes rank when cooking it, but then some magic happens at the end when it goes really rich and silky. I gotta get up on that sometime soon.

I would so love for you two to come down for a weekend to check out the new diggs and maybe go borough market or something. Even crash here, it's so comfortable here that I'll take the sofa and you two can take the bed =) Maybe even get Tattoo #2.

That would be excellent.
Once I find gainful employment we'll make a plan :)

Alright DG
How are you?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:50, Reply)

Fabulous !
How is that going? Had any biters?
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:51, Reply)

To both.
Alright thanks, Jeff. Been for a nice walk with the dog today; she rolled in fox shit and is now about to have a bath.

Gonz, not yet but I spotted a job last week that would be ideal so am spending tomorrow filling out the application. Substantial pay cut to what I was on (about ten grand) but it's on the doorstep, so swings and roundabouts.

Cool, good luck for it, remember you can always jump ship after a trial if something better comes along, and it's better than a kick in the knackers.
I'd imagine although 10k is a really really high drop, it'll still be a jump from whatever you're on now. Plus not that I know you, but I know if I'm working, my mental thinggie is a lot better, so I'm more likely to pick up work.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 19:12, Reply)

A good walk is always nice. Especially if it involves a pint at the end.

Also went to see my nephew play footie this morning
as he was playing just down the road. Good game, they lost 7-6, but it should have been a draw as the ref awarded his team a free kick which they scored from but he blew for a foul as the ball was sailing into the net and made them take it again. The dozy cunt. I used to work with him as well.

But you get a pint?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 19:23, Reply)

No. I have a glass of wine though.

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Sun 11 Mar 2012, 19:23, Reply)

Perfectly acceptable.
I'm going to have a couple of cans and an early night this evening.

My legs are sore.

I've just got back from the gym and I'm gonna cook me a steak!

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:51, Reply)

I don't know how to get photos from my phone on to the computer otherwise I'd take a photo.
I got the meat at the butchers yesterday - it'll be lovely.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:53, Reply)

Oddly enough, I've fanced one for over a week now, when my stomach fixes then I'll be all up on that...
... try the 15-second-turn thing, works well. I saw yesterday a youtube video of heston making a mushroom ketchup, saying it was the perfect condiment to go with it. I know you can buy it in waitrose, although ovb it won't be the same, I wanna give it a try. Maybe with a nice buttery jacket potato with bluecheese. Aww yeah', thats what I fancy. As soon as I get 3 good days in a row with no unusual OH WOE IS MEing.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:54, Reply)

I shall look for link to a 15 second turn steak.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:56, Reply)

It's pretty simple, pan as hot as you can, no oil, just seasoning, turn every 15 seconds 'till it's done.
Do you know the OK trick to tell about steak? That's another one that is perfect every time. I'd write up a guide for coll3ctive but I I need a third hand to take the photo.

Basicly
Make an OK diving sign with one hand, and the other hand squidge the fleshy bit between thumb and index finger. That amount of squidgyness in a steak is rare.
Same thing but using the middle finger to complete the 'o', the squidgness of the same part is medium-rare.
Once again with the ring-finger, and you'll have medium-well done.
Finally, little finger, and you have well done.

It works perfectly for me every time, if you think you can't feel a difference, thinking it won't work, go from index to pinky, you can deffo tell then.
