August 1, 201412 yr So I'm not much of a cook. I wanted some broccoli rice frozen thing. I said to the hb, 'what do I do?' He put it in the microwave, started the timer and walked into the other room. So then it's beeping and I ask, 'what do I do?' And he yells, all annoyed like from the other room, 'eat!' Oh.

September 1, 201411 yr Pasta Fagioli (pronounced Pasta Fazool) 3 cloves garlic minced 1 onion chopped 4-5 stalks of celery chopped to bite size pieces 5 strips of bacon chopped 2 quarts chicken broth 3 chicken boullion cubes 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 2 cans cannellini beans In large soup pot heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add bacon, cook until crispy then remove from the pot and save for later. Add garlic, onions, and celery to the pot and cook until onions are translucent and softened. Drain beans and rinse well then add them, tomatoes, chicken broth, 2 quarts of water and bouillion cubes. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer for about 90 minutes and them add the ditalini and the bacon. When the macaroni is cooked grab a bowl, spoon, some parmesan cheese and enjoy. Nom! *** you can use prosciutto or pancetta instead of bacon. Just cook it the same way and use a little more olive oil. **** you can also add red pepper flakes if you like some heat.

September 20, 201411 yr Coming into autumn now, so thought chicken noodle soup for coughs and colds recovery :) Cook chicken in oven wrapped in tin foil or grill if prefered. Dice into smallish pieces. Boil 1 1/2 pints of water in a saucepan Add two chicken stock cubes (or follow guidelines if using stock pots) I use Knorr. Add to boiling water and stir until melted in. Turn down to a high simmer. Add egg noodles, any brand, I use sharwoods, as much as you want. Add chicken, as much as you want. Thyme and Sage are great herbs for colds, so I add these in, couple of pinches of each. You could also add roasted garlic too but I can never be bothered (garlic also great for flu's) Comes out quite watery but literally you feel better with every spoonful. Keeps in the fridge for a day but not as nice but add boiling water to it before reheating as the noodles absorb the water if left.
September 20, 201411 yr Oh and croutons are easy to make if you want to add to soups. Sharp knife, slice of bread. Cut into small cubes. Drizzle olive oil over them to cover. Pop in the oven to cook at regular cooking temp Turn them over. Takes about 10 mins.

September 20, 201411 yr Wow, just had to google...England needs alfredo sauce in it's life... big up!! What a "beef chuck pattie"?? This sounds GOOOOOD
September 20, 201411 yr Ideal christmas gifts. Home made traditional fudge: Tin Condensed milk (397g) 150ml milk 450g light brown sugar (can use dark brown but it just ends up much sweeter and not as nice a colour) 115g butter, actually unsalted butter seems to work better taste wise BIG TIP - keep it moving most of the time otherwise it sticks! Bung it all in a saucepan and turn the heat on medium to warm it through and melt the sugar. Whack up on full heat, keep it moving, scrape sides of pan as you go as well. it needs to look like a bubbling volcano for 8-10 minutes, it will start to get stiffer (oo er) Turn heat off If you want to make it vanilla fudge, add a tablespoon of vanilla essence now. Stir for another 8 minutes. No pansy stuff but not hulk either - somewhere in the middle. It will get stiffer. Tip it into a tin lined with greaseproof paper, more then one if needs be, you want it to be about an inch thick. Leave it to air dry and lift it out of the tin Cut into squares and jobs a goodun. Ideal for christmas gifting and I even made them for wedding favours once :)

November 13, 201411 yr Capsicum Sauce MMXV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am putting these beauties into a BIG jar and adding dry white wine to cover. Will keep covered in Frigidaire and moosh around with a wooden spoon every so often adding more peppers, whole garlic toes and wine till Epiphany. Then shmoosh in blender or beloved food processer, maybe adding a late tomato for colour. Taste Salt ? Taste. Strain. pouring liquid into empty hot sauce bottles, the pulp into jars a spoon can fit into (add wine to cover these) Keeps fine, refrigerated for Six months. Travels well. Could freeze some of that too, I reckon.
