I think baked dishes in general are nicer re-heated (as opposed to cooking for longer) because it concentrates the flavours without burning. Plus, there is a phsycological point, in that you've got a delicious home cooked meal for no effort the second time 'round.

Try it in a cheese and leek sauce with diced chicken (thigh meat has more flavour).

I especially like it baked or fried so it goes crispy. Over the weekend I saw someone make Gnocchi using Parmesan, Masciponi and flour, which got my interest up.
I know it's not 'like mama back in little Italy makes', but Tesco do a sundried tom stuffed one that for a few quid is delicious.
Thanks for pointing that one out though, it's great.

Six types of chilli, plus flakes, powered chilli, half a bottle of Tabasco, loads of naga sauce. NOTHING. I think the heat has broken my taste buds.

I'm a proper poof when it comes to capsicorn, much more than jalapeno and i'm in trouble.
But opening up to 'medium' heat curries has totally opened up a whole market for me, most of them aren't even that hot.

There are precious few jobs in the city I live in which will pay enough to do so.
I have no beef with council estates; I grew up in a council house and I'm working class. Working class hasn't meant 'working with your hands' for decades, that whole hands/ head dichotomy is long dead.

I suppose dropping out and having a purple mohican at nearly forty marks you out as a rebel rather than pathetic.
( , Tue 16 Jul 2013, 22:30, Reply)

and then arguing is a little silly, no?
I make no claims about my self, other than that I've not dropped out of anything I'm aware of. I wouldn't claim to be a rebel, I wouldn't claim to be anything particularly, I leave that to posers like you.
( , Tue 16 Jul 2013, 22:33, Reply)

EDITATION:
And by 'not arguing it', I meant 'argue' in its proper sense, i.e. a discussion of the meaning of working class.
So no, I'm not arguing it with you.

If you could be happy without the constant whining need to seek validation in the eyes of others I might respect you a bit.
Now tell me how you don't need anyone else's respect, least of all mine. Then tell your self that, repeat it often enough and you might start to believe it.
Actually, thinking about it, it's pretty obviously daddy issues, which is understandable under the circumstances, so I should feel pity really rather than irritation, but seriously, find a good counselor you'll feel better for it and the nice funny guy that is fighting you get out from behind the insecure twat might make more of an appearance.

What's the problem with that?
I think you have some issues with what you perceive to be 'mainstream behaviour'.

I grew up with kids whose dads worked on the oil rigs. Very coarse men- coarse in manners, views and education. They also got paid extremely well and bought their council houses, had two car families and probably voted Labour; I never asked, I was just a kid.
That's working class. Or is it? Because you know, home ownership and two car households etc are pretty middle class, aren't they? Long term unemployment and council housing is what? Lower middle? Upper working? Help me out here, you're the John Berger around here, chronicling the decline and passing of the peasant way of life, please elucidate.

So you should be totes on-message about how traditional definitions of class have shifted considerably over the last thirty-odd years. There's more to class than occupation or income bracket or schooling or reading habits.
You know this, you must do.
