Bonamental 0 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I didn't realise Shake Shack had come to London, the one I had in NY was awesome. One of the nicest burgers I've had was there. Will have to go to Covent Garden to see if it matches up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Doing a curry tonight. Bought a shoulder of lamb yesterday, keeping it simple but spicy. Onions, garlic, ginger then spices, then the meat, then chopped tomato, then yoghurt, then simmer then coriander. Bought some oven bake naan breads as a treat. Will make enough for a lunch or 2 over the week as leftovers. Will serve with a Bandol wine. I've become interested in putting red wine with spicey thai / indian etc curries. I dont drink much beer anymore so have got into red wine + curries when doing them. A Bandol is one which works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Made some cracking oven chips last night. Lovely with a Bernard Matthews turkey burger. Burnt my wrist on the oven tray though. Starting to blister now. Last time I try my hand in the culinary department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 When you have resigned yourself to the change in your life (baby) and realise that you no longer have the time to go out ans see friends then you may end up getting into cooking too. I dont understand how anyone cant be, i learned when i left home at 18 to go to University. I never lived at home again after that permanently so had to learn how to cook and cheaply. Nowadays, i buy the very best and pair with 30 quid bottles of wine. I spend all the money i save not going out and pissing it up walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd had a few pints ( ) and the other half tried to tell me to run it under the tap. I wouldn't have it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once she's finished breast feeding she'll be back in the kitchen. That's not me being Andy Capp, she loves cooking/baking. I drive her mad because I'm not the least bit foody. If I like something I'll say so, but 2 years after a meal she'll still go on about how amazing I thought it was when i can't remember a thing about it. It's all just fuel afaic, i have to ask her if i like stuff like Tiramisu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Once she's finished breast feeding she'll be back in the kitchen. Generally and specifically right this minute too. Get back in there. I can understand the perspective that its just fuel but its a shame not to enjoy it more. As i say, i reckon apart from people like Brock who are professionally interested, it comes to everyone when there is fuck all else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22149 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm officially giving up my effort to be vegan then dairy free for January. Going vegan lasted a feeble 6 days, dairy free lasted 13. A disappointing effort. I feel much healthier than I did at the back end of last year, but that may down to the cuts in alcohol consumption and resumption of exercise as much as going vegan. I'll never know. What I would say is I'm thoroughly looking forward to a pizza tonight at Pulcinella on Old Compton Street, followed by a tasting evening at the Soho Whisky club.

Meenzer 15718 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just got given a bag of beetroots and Jerusalem artichokes from a friend's overflowing allotment. Need to look for something interesting to do with them that isn't just "soup" (though that will be the backup if all else fails ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, right now it's just "caked in dirt", but I'm pretty sure it's the regular stuff under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
