Oooooooooh - dripping !!!! Now there`s a forgotten cooking medium - chips cooked in dripping ! Dripping butties ! Proper dumplings too !!

Glad I didn`t pay £100 for a "view" of the Ryder Cup yesterday !!

Just printed a voucher for £4 off a bottle of either Talisker,Dalwhinnie,Glenkinchie,or The Singleton of Dufftown - can`t wait to get Joclick to Asda and have a nosy.

Chilly and cloudy here - I`ll try to do a bit in the garden this afternoon.

Anyone see the photo in the Telegraph this morning taken "through" a giraffe being eaten by a lion ?? Now there`s a comp subject !!

Welcome Pam

Ah HG the beauty of the Bloody Mary.................fresh chilled tomato juice,Tabasco Sauce,Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce,Iced Vodka,celery salt and a stick of celery to stir it with...................heavenly food - almost as good as a couple of pints of Draught Guinness.

The only two things I will not eat are Onions boiled in milk urrrrgggh ! and the Oursin - a spiny sea urchin which when the top is sliced off looks like a hen`s egg ! I have had shark fin,reindeer,frog,snail,chocolate ants,Kangaroo tail and most shellfish - never been able to source lark`s tongues in aspic or wolf nipple chips.

Tee hee - just back from 9 holes - warm and cloudy - rain`s a comin` tho`

Tony

Bet you wish you`d taken us up on the offer to come and photograph Cyril now eh ? TT

I make a lovely celery soup too !!

Tony

Aaaah !! I see the connection - sorry - 5ft 8 1/2in and 12 stone I`m afraid ( put on 2 1/2 stone after leaving the kitchen and stopping smoking 10 years ago ! ).

The list was chronological NOT my weekly intake - doh !!

Cow Pies my speciality - lol

Can be very "wet" Gwyn - the first couple of places Emma took us in London put me off - they were more like soups/broths than what I like in a curry.

Having said that the ingredients are great and form part of our daily diet whatever we cook eg:- Fresh Ginger,Garlic,Chili,Capsicums,Noodles,Rice,Limes,Lemons,Nuts.

Beano first and foremost mowog , then Dandy,Topper,Wizard,Rover,Victor,Eagle,DC Comics,and eventually Mad Magazine and on to Private Eye.
I also used to "devour" copies of the war comics - War Picture Library - now asking £35 on Amazon/Ebay !!!!!

Ah !! those were the days .........................


Tony

Considering the nearest to "India" my missus has ever been is a pencil eraser - she makes the greatest curries - always with fresh ginger,lime,chili,coconut milk,spices,herbs and hot enough to keep the most virulent germs at bay - yummy.........................

Tony

Found it !!

Some black shoe polish on the case would have been good for the photo IMHO..................................

Good luck
