Currywurst! (Of a sort, anyway.)

If you fancy any genuine German-type stuff that you can't already get from Lidl (gawd bless 'em), I have a contact heading over there for the weekend....

Do you think I would fit in the suitcase?

About the only thing unavailable here seems to be the sauce, it seems. I cherish my bottle of the stuff. Saddo that I am.

Made Coley Korma tonight, got the fillet at Morrison's at the Barras. It's a great store-cupboard dish, cheap too - the fillet cost under two pounds, giving me dinner tonight and a wee bit for lunch tomorrow.
Serve it with any flat-bread and a salad. My mate Jamie will show you how to do it.

Dinner tonight: Piedmontese Peppers (baked red peppers stuffed with tomatoes and garlic, served cold with anchovies; Lambs' liver on spicy Italian bread; cheddar with home-made pickle, oatcakes and apple. Total cost - about £2.50, not including wine. Including wine - more than £10!
Simon will show you how to make the peppers. It's easy: if you have the oven on for anything else, stick a few of these in too; they'll keep for a week in the fridge.

Durachdan,

Eddy

My OH is out and due back around 8.30 so have made Beef Bourguignon.
It does smell pretty good and haven't made it before so if it all goes horribly wrong I'll blame the tousled haired Marco Pierre White.
So far so good and recipe wasn't as time consuming as I'd imagined.
If all goes to plan I might try it again.

Wasn't sure what type of wine to use so I bought a Shiraz though I've just read somewhere that Red Burgundy is probably the thing to go for.

Salmon fillets poached with fennel, red onion, runner beans and carrots. Sweat the veg in olive oil, add water - not stock - and a bouquet garni.Place the fillets in the pot, cover and turn heat off, leave for 10-15 minutes. Serve at room temperature, great on warm summer nights.

I don't know how you fuck up spag bol out of a jar but I have somehow managed to.

I think I went wrong when I put chopped garlic on the spaghetti while it was in the pot. Enough to make your eyes water.

Also putting pepper into the sauce as I stirred it into the mince wasn't too clever either.

Shite.

My brother once had a job which involved, basically, sitting in a van with half a dozen other blokes all day waiting to be called into action.

One of the other blokes had recently been divorced and was having to learn to cook for the first time in his life. He decided to try spaghetti bolognese, but not having a clue what a clove of garlic was, used three bulbs rather than three cloves. Apparently it was a rather distracting day in the van.
