( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 13:36, Reply)

I had chicken

The trouble with roast beef is that to get the best out of it you have to spend a reasonable amount on the joint, because small ones don't give as good a result.

I'm too skint for that though, so I get my beef hit with the occasional steak instead.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 13:40, Reply)

Aye, this cooked for a good 4 hours
And was left to rest for about half an hour, best roast I've had all year. Come Boxing Day, that will change though, the beef my Dad cooks is just incredible.

Also, the duck fat roasties, the carrots & parsnips (both cooked in the juice of the meat, coated in honey & wholegrain mustard), etc etc.

All just fucking amazing.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 13:59, Reply)

the glory of a roast dinner is the combination of everything though
the meat, the potatoes, the veg, the glorious gravy, and whatever are appropriate accompaniments to the type of meat, like yorkshires, horseradish, stuffing, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, all that kind of stuff.

Proper gravy is key, I feel
Bisto just won't cut it
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:08, Reply)

I use a mixture of bisto powder and cornflour to thicken the gravy generally
but most of the flavour comes from the meat juices, veg water and wine/other booze.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:11, Reply)

Exactly
Plus, the meat juice will have taken flavour from the honey & mustard, often all that is needed to be added is the flour.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:13, Reply)

that is true
bisto powder doesn't actually have much flavour to it, unlike the granules and stuff, so it is more as a browning really.

I've taken to roasting meat sat on a trivet made of thick sliced onions in a roasting tin. This works well with the gravy, as it gets some good caramelisation on the onion as well as keeping the meat from sitting in the juices.

This is a Yorkshire Pudding

You get them with roast dinners (usually), and the correct way to eat them is to pour gravy into them, put a little of your roast meat into it, then top with whichever veg you so decide, before cutting them up, and nomming everything. It is also common to save one until the end of the meal, and use it to mop up the leftover gravy. This is also magnificent.

We hope you'll thoroughly enjoy it,

Bummers?
Gaybos
Benders

Really?
Over this way the term "gay" is the politically correct term for male homosexuals.

but if you go on some of that wanky training you get told things that are bollocks

I'd rather be
where I was a week ago.

That would be here.

See how there are three roofs in a line, then the next roof is at an angle? See the corner of that next building on the lower right, with the amazing view of the bay? That was our room. And the northernmost corner of the building? That's the dining room. As we sat there a bald eagle swooped within two feet of that corner, which was where we were sitting. He did that several times, so we got a good look at his underside as he dove in to chase off the gulls from whatever he was eating.

We also went out for drinks here. The place was filled with fishermen and locals, and I swear you couldn't have found a stranger cast of characters anywhere. They loved talking to us people from the Lower 48 and chatting about life up there- we were exotic to them, apparently.

The only bad part is that it's taken me the better part of a week to adjust back to Eastern Daylight Time.
( Wanderer, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 13:55, Reply)

That looks amazing

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:01, Reply)

It really was.
On our way down from Anchorage we saw a golden eagle, a bunch more bald eagles, two moose, and in Beluga Bay we saw a pod of grey whales.

While we were there a storm hit, making 23 foot swells out to sea- hence all the fishermen at the Salty Dawg. Though it's a little difficult to make out here, there are mountains on the opposite side of the bay. We woke in the mornings to the moon over those mountains, glittering on the water. Our bed was just opposite the windows.

It was most definitely ace.

All these trips away you're having now.
Must cost you quite a bit of money.
( girlinthehole, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:08, Reply)

Actually, no.
My wife is a field agent for the Council On Accreditation, which oversees adoption agencies and certifies child care facilities on military bases. Her ticket is paid for, as well as lodging, and this past trip my ticket was covered by frequent flier miles. So all it really cost us was food for me, which we would have paid at home anyway.

How useful for you.

Provided that I have the time free to go with, yes.
I've had to pass up quite a few interesting trips, but I have to make money.

I only asked when you were dead uncomfortable about the situation with your boyfriend.
But you seem to have made a decision now thus taking the piss out of you less fun.

Clearly you don't remember that we were talking about this

Daydreaming is fun though!

I don't remember.
Never mind.

So you're still hedging your bets then.

I have no fucking idea what's going on. I make up my mind and then an hour later I change it again.

A tiger bread sammich
containing:

Free range roast chicken from yesterday
Mushrooms fried in butter and a few drips of Worcester sauce
Grain mustard

Served with a coffee and a bag of steak McCoys

Fabulous!

I'd rather be eating it again!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:29, Reply)

Did you know...
The steak McCoys are vegetarian, yet the cheese and onion ones are not.

Glad I'm not a veggie as that could really mess with you. And the crisps too
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:38, Reply)

I think Walkers crisps are the same
Beef and Onion are veggie, Cheese and Onion aren't.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:39, Reply)

Luckily I don't like cheese and onion crisps.
Although that's a moot point now I eat chicken.
( girlinthehole, Mon 8 Nov 2010, 14:42, Reply)

I think it's because of the rennet
in the cheese. Nomming a bit of tasty free range chicken isn't quite the same as slaughtering newborn cows for their innards..
