alisoncc 379 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Alison, You have made me fancy some prawns. It has been a long time since i had some fresh ones and sat to top and tail them, they are so much tastier bought whole. Carni, ½ Kg of fresh, never frozen, Australian king prawns, purchased yesterday and eaten in their entirety today. Don't eat cakes, choccies, sweets, biscuits, etc. etc. but do enjoy my seafood. One of my little treats when I need a bit of an uplift. I would send you some, but they would be a little bit funny by time they go there. So all I can do is send a photo. Next time it will before I eat them. Lived for quite a few years in Cairns, Far North Queensland. Used to go down to the fish docks where the prawn trawlers land their catch. You could buy prawns fresh off the boats, and sit on the sea wall and eat them. Once scoffed a whole kg, washed down with a shared bottle of white wine. It was a beautiful tropical summers evening. Memories of frangipanni and hibiscus scent on the breeze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I see there's some home made chicken soup with noodles left in the pantry; 'waste not, want not', that's my philosophy, so you know what I'll be having for tea tonight! PS: Bought a fresh chicken from Iceland the other day, cost: £3 - a real bargain; cooked it in the slow cooker with carrots, onions, sweet potatoes, stock, herbs and flavourings. Result: Delicious, lots of meat and tasty; served me for three days plus the chicken soup I made from the carcass............... PPS: Can well recommend the chickens from Iceland........

jackson 301 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 After I've done my piano practice, I'm going to make: 1 Soup with left over veg. 2 Steamed apple with the last of the fruit from my trees. 3 A milk pudding, being as I've quite a bit of milk to use before it goes off; now then should it be: rice, ground rice, semolina or macaroni? Must admit, I do have a penchant for milk puddings - favourite being tapioca; must be left over from my childhood when my mum spoilt us by serving a pudding every day. PS: was lucky enough to find a small pack of ground nutmeg the other day in one of Bulwell's bargain shops - this spice has become so expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Has to be rice pudding every time. Nicely browned in the oven so that there are crispy bits around the rim of the bowl - yummy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Crispy bits around the rice pudding bowl are real tasty - mouth's watering as I write. PS: Doing my best to make: 2,800 before tea time; made a semolina pudding with Barbados sugar and honey - looking forward to this.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, the days when all that foreign stuff - rice, macaroni, vermicelli, etc were only good for puddings made with milk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkazana 1,736 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Pancake Day today. How will you be having yours? Any special recipes out there? Do you flip or toss? We have had ours today, and it was just oranges this time, though I have been known to serve them with a chicken curry filling, blackberries in a lemon sauce and banana with ice cream and maple syrup (my personal favourite)....not all on the same one. I tend to make traditional pancakes as a savoury and the thicker variety for sweet pancakes. And I always toss!! Which then comes onto Lent...are you planning on giving anything up, or will you do something extra? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
