but without larger cooking facilities than we have (e.g yer average cast-iron frying pan)
Hi Islander
On receiving some snapper from friends when we were up north, I wrapped them individually in foil(with dob of butter and trickle of honey and lemon juice) and placed on the edge of the fire we had goin'. Threw a french stick crammed with garlic and le beurre in foil also,edge, fire also. Best oven, t'was.
Solved the "no kitchen" scenario. And the fish was divine.
mmmmm :) -

Woos… but yes,
An experience all on it’s own! :0
Dont rub your eyes or rub anything for that matterA female friend of mine has a story about a boyfriend who leapt out of bed on a Sunday morning to make cheese on toast sprinkled with freshly-chopped chilli ...
And then afterwards sensually reached down to be all lover-man ... yow. Cold bath, apparently.

Brandy also has that effect. Oh, that was possibly TMI.

:) NTMI!
And, the mousse? To die for! -
Islander, in reply to
O yess! Foil can be good (as can the older solutions of double kelp bags & bladder kelp & mud - you get a combined steam/broil effect.) But - for flounders - to do the Judd thing, you need to flash fry the tail/fins bits while cooking the main body to
fry-steamed perfection....I have heard of a Japanese technique for something called "Golden Treasure Ships" which I will research...apopo.Meantime, off to bed with a sore throat/cold. Bugger Christchurch dust. Bugger earthquakes & travelling. Sweet dreams everyone-

oh she'll love you for saying that :)

I'm terribly sorry, but can someone tell me how all this talking about food is helping further the cause of the Glorious Revolution?

Immediately had me singing a song from Oliver but they do say "An Army marches on its stomach". I have always thought this a little odd as I would have thought legs were better, oh well, forward with the Revolution Comrades. Who's got the chilly bin and plate of sizzling sausages?.

Jackie Clark, in reply to
Yes, Hilary. That's my sister. She and I were born on the same day 9 yrs apart from different mothers. So she's like me, only bossier. And that isn't the family collection that's there, it's my Mum's!

I really want to see this collection, and even more so now. How awesome is your mum?
-
Jackie Clark, in reply to
There's only a wee bit of Mum's collection there, Jack. The exhibition isn't really about Crown Lynn, as such, it's more about the collectors. Anyway, next time you come up, just ask and Mum will be glad to show "that lovely young man" around!

"that lovely young man"
What? I don't even... umm, thanks.
[Practising taking compliments. How was that?]

A male acquaintance of mine once went to the toilet shortly after making curry with extra-hot chilli powder from Moshim's, without washing his hands first. The other big mistake, which I have made, is taking out contacts. Just....don't.

Islander, in reply to
O hell yes!
I did that the first time I had chopped up chillis.
Contact lens wearers get used to dust-under-lens syndrome, but this was arrgh. With several exclamation marks. And it didnt stop for quite some time- -

MW: Hey, I read somewhere that “people who don’t have houses aren’t allowed to pay for drinks”. I know you _do_ have a house, but still, I was following the spirit of the rule.
RB: Actually, yes. Now you mention it, that was an actual rule.
ooops... oh well, I've never been good with rules. If you manage to bring OGB down to Shakeytown anytime soon I'll take replacement drinks at any venue you can find open.
A great night, just what was needed. Unfortunately way too short a break... got back at 11pm Saturday night, then shifted house on Sunday. Still waiting for phone and internet to be hooked up (another week or so yet...anyone would think there'd been a disaster or summit) but surviving on limited mobile-based services in the meantime.
Would love to swap cooking ideas for fish but I never go beyond shark 'n' taties, while me and chillis stay well clear of each other ;)
as you were... -
Islander, in reply to
Ask me!
That is my life's work!
