ckn Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Prepare to have your socks blown off TRLers. So I made my porridge 20 minutes ago. The usual; oats, milk, hot water and sugar blasted in the microwave, "so what?" you may think. Ahh, but first off the boiling water was poured on a teaspoon of instant coffee. Yes, coffee porridge... Boom! A favourite of mine when on exercise in the army was to take the dire porridge and mix it with the dire hot chocolate sachet.

Futtocks Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Venison casserole in the slow cooker - started yesterday, then cooled overnight and re-heated for this evening. Flavours used were red wine, smoked garlic, thyme, juniper oil, balsamic vinegar and, as a new experiment, cumin powder. Cumin will be in future game casseroles, definitely!

Futtocks Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Cooling off with a cocktail - 1 third prosecco, 2 thirds (Sainsbury) white grape & peach juice. Almost a Bellini and very refreshing on a day like this. "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life. We are just so much mashed potato."

Futtocks Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I had lunch here today - Caravan Kings Cross - and the food was excellent. Flatbread with yoghurt, pork croquettes with lime mayonnaise and trout with samphire and caper butter. Outside on the square, little children played in the fountains, people lazed in the free deckchairs or on the terraces leading down to the canalside. The street food stalls were also doing good business. What has been done to a formerly run down no-go area is wonderful.

There's a Dishoom (Bombay cafe) and a Terence Conran restaurant opening there soon, too. The old coal drop buildings are being turned into shops and Waitrose are opening a supermarket and cookery school there.

'On the street' with short back and sides huge ugly beards or attempts at them, jackets that are too small and extremely tight trousers. Are they one and the same? What is the nature of this phenomenon? WELCOME TO THE ROYSTON VASEY SUPER LEAGUE 2015 Keeping it local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 A beard full of 'product', an ironic pork pie hat, the latest Apple laptop/tablet, skinny strides and probably a career in PR or marketing.

timtum Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have a big silly beard, and jeans that are too tight for me (cos I can't afford any larger sizes at the mo). Am I a hipster? Perhaps not as the Hull FC fans the other week unkindly referred to me as a grumpy Father Christmas. Foodwise, and back on topic, I had a fantastic salad, chicken, onion wrap on Saturday night in Perpignan. €4 and it was worth every centime. Late night, fast food at its finest.

Copa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) The other day in Java I had a meal of freshly killed (killed right in front of me) cobra followed by a big dish of fruit bat - wings and body. A few days before that I gorged on a juicy dish of satay horse. The cobra especially was delicious...as was the chaser of cobra blood and Chinese whisky mixed together. Monkey was also on the menu but they had run out. Edited July 18, 2014 by Copa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just taken the marinaded meat out of the fridge for tonight's Curry Goat. This is my second attempt at this dish, but the first one where I've looked up recipes and tips to do it properly. The smell of the seasoned meat is already very promising.

l'angelo mysterioso Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 went to my mother's to do tidy her garden up a bit: big mug of tea and some fresh home made scones before setting off back home, beautiful. We had a good chat about stuff and some gaps were filled about one or two things. I know she's my mam, but there is nothing to touch those scones.

Futtocks Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Back from and expotition (sic) to Borough Market. The Iberico pork fillet and the morcilla (Spanish black pudding with rice) will be part of a sort of Pork Wellington thing tomorrow. The pigeon breasts and the Lord London cheese will be for the weekend, while the Scotch Pie and Wild Boar Scotch Egg have already been devoured. The box of mixed macarons are for later tonight when the munchies strike. "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

You are doing their stereotype no good whatsoever.....but if you ever have a spare place at the dinner table I would be delighted to fill it. I'll bring the wine.
