Sunday dinner

Don't do roasts. Too much effort when there's only two of us. Had a big fry up at sainsbury's this morning before shopping hell. Then made a HUGE cheese, potato & onion pie from scratch including the pastry (which actually probably took as long as a roast). Enough left for lunch tomorrow and tea. Blimey! Will be veggied out by Tuesday.

any advice :?:

Never thought I'd be typing this but it's all about cooking at the highest temperature and letting the batter 'rest'.
Adjust measures accoringly but add 2 eggs to 160 ml of milk and a generous pinch of salt. Beat senseless and then rest for 15mins. Then beat in 130grams of plain flour until smooth. Rest until you are ready to use. Pre-heat the cooking vessell (with oil) at the highest possible temperature. Et voila!

I don't know, Mrs W has been sweating over a hot stove on the beef bourguignon and I just found out there is no desert so I have got to either knock one up or pop round the coop. So Coop it is then.... :evil:

Yes Caron this is the new J2 cook forum. I think we are all bored to-day :lol:

Pork is rancid - which is odd considering the same animal provides bacon.

So you don't like pork then :cry:

It's not my favourite.

Oh I forgot! Made chocolate orange brownies this afternoon aswell. I am in OH's good books today.
Fair deal though, she did clean the house from top to bottom and do all the washing up for me.
