    Lindt dark chocolate with orange and a cup of Twinnings English tea, a wonderful combination lick

    That's funny, I talked with my kids about chocolate with orange recently.
    At breakfast they were complaining about the orange juice because they still had the taste of dark chocolate sprinkles in their mouth.

    I said, you know that some people like that together? There are even cookies with dark chocolate and orange and things like that!

    They looked at me as if I was talking nonsense. wink

    Speaking of chocolate...

    Because the kids have music class on saturday morning, in that hour we go to the street market (I never do that, but this is a bigger street market in the city centre). We buy roasted nuts, medjool dates and chocolate dates.... So sweeeeet!!!
    lick

    I think the kids' music class is going to make us really fat...
    It tastes nothing like nuts and dates from the supermarket. So much better.

    Oddly ( or maybe not ) orange juice after dark chocolate doesn't work. I wonder if it's more an adults taste than a childs?

    Perhaps!

    And now that you mention that, I think the orange juice after chocolate tastes far more bitter than the orange chocolates like you had.

    Undoubtably. Dark chocolate washed down with tea lick washed down with orange juice slant

    The chocolate I had was made by Lindt ( it's Swiss ) and had orange pieces in it, I love it too.

    Went to another BBQ yesterday.

    The home made burgers I brought with me went down very well ( as usual everyone else brought ready made supermarket stuff rolleyes ), so much so that I was asked for the recipe.

    I can't remember precise amounts because I always do this by eye...

    Quality minced lamb
    a sprinkle of Coriander & Rosemary & Paprika
    Crushed and chopped garlic
    A small dollop of Dijon mustard
    Chopped chillies ...not toooo much, don't want to overwhelm the taste
    And a generous helping of Mango Chutney
    Salt & Pepper

    Crush, squish, mush it all together, shape how you please and then straight on the BBQ....or grill if doing at home wink lick

    Today I'm going to make that very best of Scottish dishes ( no Alan, not Haggis, Neaps & tatties wink ) FISH & CHIPS lick

    I've got some lovely fresh cod fillets from my local fishmongers and will make my own batter, here's my recipe for anyone interested...

    50g plain flour
    50g cornflour
    50ml lager ( that's not too much so consume the rest of can/bottle in appropriate manner lick beer )
    50ml fizzy spring water
    tsp of baking powder
    large pinch of tumeric

    blend with whisk until smooth, pat cod dry with kitchen towels and dust with flour, dip cod in mixture and deep fry in sunflower oil.

    I always cut up a bit of onion and try that in the mixture and fry to test that the oil is at the right heat plus I can chomp on onion rings while waiting for the fish lick wink

  11. You shouldn't be calling it "fish and chips" for it to be an authentic Scottish dish. Obviously it should be a "fish supper."

    Hmmmm, looking at the ingredients of the burgers, I think I will try that, but rather use beef than lamb, and add some chopped onions. lick

    I'd have to taste your fish & chips some day, Timmer. I don't really the equipment nor the space in my tiny kitchen corner to make that stuff.

    Yesterday, I made a lasagne, but only managed to eat half. So the rest goes down today. No more garlic bread, so I'll have to manage with salad as accesory. Still have a couple of beers left too.

    Not terribly exciting, but lasagne is always a "classic".
    I am extremely serious.

    Let me know how it turns out? I'm wondering if you might need a binding agent ( egg ), beef is nowhere near as fatty as lamb and might fall apart.

    It would have to be home made at mine Thor, fish & chip shops in Bristol are rubbish, there used to be a couple of brilliant ones but both changed ownership and the quality went down hill, fish n' chippies in the North of England are far superior.

    Actually, I do think they look yummy (in case you were being sarcastic)! I'd certainly try one. I've long since abandoned any consciousness around calories, so GIVE IT TO ME!

    Weirdly enough I can imagine a couple of bites being satisfying dizzy On the minus side I find MARS a sickly chocolate bar and can only manage a bite or two let alone having it deep fried.

    I love Mars in smaller doses and if it's served cold. So I wonder how I would feel about a very WARM version.

  23. I would love to try a deep fried mars bar. But the batter would need to be perfect. Tim, could you rustle up some appropriate batter?

    Traditional Omelette with ham, cheese and garlic today, with salad on the side (tomato, red onion, feta, salad). Basically just took what was in my fridge. It was OK, but could have been spiced up with more flavours. Plus, it was a bit dry. Then again, I almost never make omelettes, so I'm pleased.

    I made myself homemade kebabs this afternoon using leftover lamb from a few Sundays back ( frozen, of course ), I lightly fried the lamb in it's own oils, shredded it and stuffed it into pitta bread along with a Greek salad topped with garlic & herb sauce ( from a supermarket ) and chili sauce, a VERY hot one that my friend Alex brought me back from Mexico ( Alex is Mexican but has lived here for over 20 years ), it was absolutely delicious but I think it would have been even more tasty after getting in late after a night out getting pissed wink

    Good ol' chicken tikka massala today, a recurring favourite of mine. Between the sugary sauce and the basmati rice, it's not healthy, but I couldn't care less. It's GOOD!
