Mal Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Homemade salad with cherry/grape tomatoes, olives, finely sliced Parmesan and balsamic dressing for the past week. I combine it with bread with olive oil dip and bacon/chicken. Still good even now. Added to my list of things to make for a week of dinners. As an added bonus, it works really well for lunch at school. As a negative, it doesn't fill the stomach enough to hold off a 12% bomber sized beer (Stone's Old Guardian). Holy fuck am I woozy after not drinking anything for a week. I can somewhat think but fuck can I translate a quarter of anything I do correctly. FYI, this post is heavily edited to make sure its all correct. Mistakes were everywhere. Salad is not good for beer. Today I learned. Hard. Hahaha. God I am dizzy. I am also noticing fragment sentences. Oh yeah, salad is made from Romaine, green/red leaf lettuce (more Romaine than leaf), red cabbage and sprouts. I store them all in plastic containers so they're more or less ready to go. I just got to add in the tomatoes, olives, cheese and dressing. Oh and the ground pepper. I could cook the chicken or bacon ahead of time. Also did I mention salad is bad for making you drunk less? Fuck am I fighting myself to type everything correctly.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 went to wagamama today. It's the first time we'd been for breakfast, but apparently they'd stopped doing a couple of months ago but had not bothered telling head office to update the website. So I ended up having a fried, breaded chicken curry at 10am. Not what I'd normally be having but found it surprisingly OK to eat at that time.

deanb Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I threw together some fridge items to make two days worth of a rather nice meal. These being half an onion, a pepper, two slices of bacon, a chicken breast(from freezer) and....a pot of chilli sauce that came with a takeaway on the weekend I figured might come in handy one day. Cooked chicken in oven, sliced up bacon and fried it off, then cut up the chicken ,threw it and the veg into pan with bacon, stirred it up, added sauce and emptied over pasta. My main surprise being that the takeaway sauce made it all rather nice. I kinda figured it'd be palatable at best. This was a sauce designed to go over donner kebab after all.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 That's just how casseroles work. Just throw a bunch of shit together and it somehow comes out okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 i guess he is, but what you cooked does not sound like a casserole to me? Also, if you were frying everything anyway, why'd you bother baking the chicken first and not just fry it from raw too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd assume FDS is responding to me, but yeah it's not a casserole that I cooked. Unless a casserole is very different in the US (this is the whole "biscuits n gravy" place after all.)

TheMightyEthan Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casserole Apparently it's often called a "bake" in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Also known as a casserole. Cooked in a casserole dish. Usually got a fair bit of sauce/gravy to it. Vegetables along the lines of potato, carrots, onion etc. Meat along lines of stew steak, sausages, chicken. Vaguely close to a stew in what goes into it but not in how it's cooked. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2451650/family-meals-chicken-and-veg-casserole http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1940681/sausage-and-bean-casserole- http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3923/beef-and-vegetable-casserole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yep, we use bake here, and that's what I guessed FDS meant, as I read a lot of American recipes. We use casserole to mean to basically a fancy stew, e.g. coq au vin. Bakes are a lot less wet. But I think Dean just made a sauce and stirred it in to the pasta didn't mention anything about putting anything except the chicken in the oven. Dean, by quoting the frozen chicken bit, it makes it sound like you baked the chicken from frozen? You shouldn't do that, it's not very safe! If you defrosted it, which I hope you did, then you could have fried it. It's quicker and tastier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, what you described didn't sound like a casserole to me, I was just posting that in case that's not what you called a casserole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRevanchist Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I tried on granny smith apples, which balanced out the sweetness of it. That seemed to work. I'll have to check out the TJ's version to see if it's cheaper than $5 a jar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I made the pancake, housemate decorated it. There was many more. Got quite skilled by the end. Though Delia Smith can't count for shit. 10-15 my arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah, I always get about half the number of pancakes out of a mix as it says I should. And I don't even make giant pancakes or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 What's the red stuff? it looks too runny to be jam. I have a similar problem with quantities, if I make the suggested amount there's half as many as it says, but when I double up it seems like miles too many. I had 3 today. One with golden syrup, one with lemon curd and one with sugar and lime juice. I love pancakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I was wondering why your pancakes looked more like crepes. http://britishfood.about.com/od/pancakeday/tp/worldpancakes.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 american - english - crepe, thickest to thinnest, smallest to biggest. Is it traditional to eat pancakes on shrove tuesday in america? The fact that most people call it pancake day here and is the only time in a year when most brits have one makes me think we have a different relationship to pancakes than americans.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 People do it before lent here as well but we also enjoy pancakes other times of the year. A very common item on a breakfast menu. Man, I really want some pancakes right now. No, not crepes, the thick ones! Seriously considering this for dinner...

deanb Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's cherry."errm..not quite jam..kinda like a syrup". Crepes are thinner and larger. What americans have are closer to drop scones than out pancakes. This has been covered quite a few times. As far as I'm aware americans don't do Shrove Tuesday. More of a european thing (other nations do doughnut-likes and other pastries alongside national-pancake-like). Also while "pancake day" is a major day of eating (way too many) pancakes, it's hardly the only time we have pancakes. Eggs, flour, milk n butter aren't exactly uncommon items to have in fridge/pantry so it's easy enough to go "I feel like pancakes". Also for future tense: I'm really wanting to try some horse. So at some point in future on here I may have a mini-review of horse steak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Gerbs, please meet IHOP. http://www.ihop.com/ International House of Pancakes. It's practically a lovefest for breakfast. Dean, I saw a couple of UK plants got raided for horse meat suspicions. You probably already had it at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
