Was in bed for 8pm on Friday
Comfy as fuck. Watched various things online, a BFI 'masterclass' with Gaspar Noe then a pretty chilly documentary on Liberia. Cannibalism, rape and shitting in the street are rife.

Saturday, had too much wine and green and eventually woke up at 10am, on the couch, with Jeremy Fucking Kyle on the telly, saw that i had 3/4 of a Hoegaarden left, downed it, then went into actual bed and slept until 2pm.

Went to the park for a walk, came back and made yorkshire puddings that turned out 'OK', for a first attempt, I think I put too much batter into each one. Played the Wii-Fit and Sports Resort, got up to level 1200 on the table tennis, and got onto the mirror levels of Swordfight Showdown. Never got to sleep until 03:30, which made things rough this morning.

I racked up over 2000 points (score not ranking) on wakeboarding over the weekend
which was reasonably pleasing

Man
I find the Wakeboarding extremely frustrating, I think its that 'decceleration' noise when you hit the water wrong. Started on the 100 pin game, played twice and both times I scored 1579, which was a bit weird.

all the noises on wakeboarding are annoying
the guy's voice starts to piss me off

I've managed 1893 on 100 pin bowling. quite annoyed because the mrs has a higher score.

I shall attempt to better that, this very evening.

it's hard taking time out of my busy prince of persia schedule
to keep my scores on wii resort at a respectable level.

yorkshire puddings are pretty easy
but they're also pretty easy to screw up. You need to get the oil very hot. put the right amount of batter in and don't open the oven ever.

That's where I made my mistake
The oil wasn't hot enough, smoking hot seems to be the order of the day. If I have to go home and make a dozen every single day until I get them right, then so be it.

I can't think on a single meal that would not benefit from the addition of Yorkshire Poodins

toad in the hole doesn't really need extra ones

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 1 Feb 2010, 10:02, Reply)

Well, that would be the normal way of looking at things
However, an extra one at the side aids the scooping of the gravy and reigning in of any rogue sausages. So, running before I can walk, what is the method for Toad in the Hole?

Almost exactly the same as puds
with cooked sausages in the oil in a bigger dish. Edit: and proper home-made onion gravy *salivates*

Pure heart attack material..

hot oil is again crucial
the oven temp doesn't need to be as high as for yorkshires on their own.

If it's not got enough when it comes out of the oven
stick it on the hob for a minute or two until the oil's fizzing, then spoon your batter in.

"spoon your batter in"
If you insist!
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Mon 1 Feb 2010, 10:07, Reply)

Haha

When you take the batter mould out of the oven
Pop it on the burner to keep the oil really hot while you pour

EDIT: Just saw Noels post
