Tonight I cooked..........

[Sixty]

Must be because it's January but I've also got some slow cooker/crock pot action on the go. Bunged in some potatoes, onions, chicken, stock, a **** ton of black pepper and a huge amount of garlic.

No idea what it'll taste like but the house smells amazing.

Well fvck my old boots, I have cracked the motherfvckers. Yorkshire puddings. Fvcking bette noire of my culinary repertoire. Done. Mastered. The cvnts

They went very nicely with BGE rotisserie beef:

On the plate, with ham-assisted Boulanger potatoes, mozzarella asparagus, peas and gravy:

Happy boy here!

That looks great, well done!

Bad form I know.....

Bearing in mind the short time you have to cook scrambled eggs, how do you get the cheese to melting point in that short span? Is it added at the same time as the whisked eggs or do you somehow pre-melt it then add the eggs? Or... some other cunning method?

Cheesecake with candles?

Thank you. I was very pleased indeed with the Yorkshires. I just had a bit more milk & flour than previously, and blitzed the batter a good deal. One of the gang said previously that they were a bit "eggy", hence the additional milk & flour. Someone said, very helpfully, a third each of eggs, milk, flour, which I've not got more like 30% eggs, 35% each milk & flour. We'll see if that's repeatable next time.

On the peas front, I just tipped the contents of the can into a small pan and reheated them for a couple minutes. So nothing, really.

I don't think there are any candles in my house.
Never liked them as they are a fire hazard.

A can of peas?

So 'nothing, really'?

Nothing except a culinary crime against humanity!

I'm buggered if I'm going to sit there shelling fresh peas. The alternative to canned would be frozen. Well if we're going to be using preserved peas at all, then frozen is just a better class of dogshit to tread in.

Surely in your part of the world you have enough space for a small field of peas?

Beans actually. This area, before the dam/lake was constructed was all bean and tobacco fields. The canning plant for Bush's Beans (US equivalent of Heinz in terms of popularity) is just up the road. Now they truck the raw beans in.

Leftover beef, presented in Yorkshires, with cabbage, carrots roasted in butter and fennel seeds, and Gravy.
The gravy contains Guiness (leftover from the night we had no sleep, and elderberry vinegar from Mrs @Humble Tiller )

Obvs the reason you had no sleep is because you had leftover Guinness...

Doing a roast some time before Christmas I somehow totally forgot to put any eggs in at all. What I got was a pan of individual hockey pucks.

If only. It was more to do with childbirth problems the dog was having, and a certain person's inability to stay awake for more than 36 hours....
