    Date is bringing over homemade gingerbread cake...never had that before an I'm 99% sure I shouldn't eat it, but fuck it, a tiny bite won't kill me. That's dessert though, dinner is going to be some pasteles I brought from this old lady who makes them damn well. Sided with some spanish style red rice with green pigeon peas thrown into it.

    Date doesn't like to drink alcoholic beverages (A Dane that doesn't like to drink? This is madness!) so no red wine or whatever else is needed.

    Oh, these are what pasteles look like,

    To eat it, unwrap the banana leaf after boiling it for about an hour an a half.

    This is what they look like opened and cooked,

    The dozen I brought is filled with pork, chicken and olives.

    Made a 4 star Lancashire Hotpot last night - but didn't let it cool to take off the fat - before the sliced potatoes, so...next time.

    £5 of chopped lamb down the butchers = x3 the portion of the supermarket. Tonight was 1970s night - hotpot reheat, & chips, peas, gravy.

    I try to be positive on this thread - to look at what people eat, to absorb cultural influences, to make my own little efforts in the kitchen that much better. But once in a while, something turns up that looks like a cross between the contents of a drug-mule's knapsack and a colostomy bag, and I am simply lost for words...

    and with no booze?????

    It does look like a turd, eh? I told that to my mother when I first tried it way back as a brat.

    "Mom...why are people eating toilet food?"

    She just stared at me, then at the plate, then back at me and laughed.

    Can't kill myself because I'm Christian, and I believe that suicide send you to hell. However, maybe there's a chance in my new job of getting shot and killed!! Probably not though

    Unless you confess of your sins after you act, but before you pass, so you can die in a state of grace. It's all about the loopholes.

    All about the loopholes? Isn`t that the whole foundation of Catholicism?

    Got no.1 son and his girlfriend coming on Sunday - trying to decide which is the "least bad" gluten free roast - chicken without proper breadsauce, beef without yorkshire pud, lamb without suet pud (old family thing), or pork without stuffing...

    maybe I'll go veggie and just do all four without meat (c:

    Got a couple of friends coming over this evening so have prepped a Goan fish curry... question is whether to cook it before the pub or after?!

    the former makes sense, the latter has more potential for comedy value

    Sorry. Not allowed. We need you. And we like you. You are not allowed to get killed because we are so selfish that we don't want it to happen.

    Easy gluten free Yorkshire puddings

    100g cornflour
    150ml milk
    3 large eggs
    Pinch of salt
    Olive oil for greasing

    Method

    Heat the oven to 220°C, grease your tray of choice with olive oil and place in the oven to hear until smoking.

    Put the cornflour and salt in a large jug, in another jug, mix the milk and the eggs thoroughly.

    Mid the wet and dry together (if your whisk is cheap, use a fork until you have a smooth paste) gradually adding the wet to the dry.

    Quickly add the batter to the smoking hot oil.
    Cook for 35 minutes.

    I use this all the time for toad in the hole, but I like to add dried herbs.

    Baked Chicken thighs in a light sauce with peppers an onions sided with, most likely, white rice, as I'll be too sleepy to stay up and make red rice.

    Baked Chicken breasts with honey & Hot Sauce (and spices), baked potato and Steamed broccoli.

    I gotta say my two favorite meals to prepare are Burgers and Burritos. And of course, Homemade Potato-fries are my favorite side to prepare. :p .

    Oh I know, I kid only because I know... I know... I will live to be 125. :p . Also knowing my luck, i'll end up in a camera room (which is cool) or due to my natural charisma and apparently excellent customer service skills may find myself at a good post. :p .

    Edit: Plus I don't intend on staying as just a regular security officer, I plan to move up the ladder, A.S.A.P. (this got cut off somehow)

    Is that something you really want to know the answer to?

    I did wonder whether it was possible to make yorkshire pudd'n with cornflour, but assumed not as yorkshire pud can be such a fickle master. I may eperiment with that today, thank you
