sod it, go to the chippy

what have you got in the fridge?

yes, we need to know what's in the fridge. If nothing else, we can have a laugh about your lifestyle

or the freezer

you guys....

In my fridge I have....

minced lamb (sounds very camp)

potatoes and other veggies in the cupboard

I know - a shepherd's pie!

yes, I'd go with shepherd's pie. That's what I'm doing tomorrow night. What timbuckteeth does today, the world does tomorrow

that is an obvious choice - how hungry are you? Can you wait that long?

wot 30 minutes? That's all it will take me...

robp: you are a case...!

that's ok then.

now to decide on tomorrow's fayre...

Is this still the mince or have you got something else?

I put tomato puree in to make the sauce richer...

I;m still mincing, yes...

chili con carne - with spuds or rive.

*rice

pasta

yes, chilli con carne - but you need real chillis if they're easy to get, they're so much nicer than the dried or powdered variety.

conchilli

would like real chillis, but careful not to rub my eyes...

I also use sambal olek sauce sometimes...

chili and pasta??? really?

I think it goes best on baked potatoes.

If you want pasta, what about making meatballs.

timbuckteeth on being a case, I think I'm getting cook happy. Been doing all the cookign for a month while wife recovers from operation...

we call chili and pasta, "chili mac" over here. Add some parmesan on top and it's just lovely.

muy caliente!

misetak: yep - goes well together - chilli and pasta

...went back to work this week, and she has declared she needs another month, so I'm working and cooking...

robp: been there - got the T-shirt (2 years ago my mrs was out of action for 6 months)

Nanknits: parmesan is a nice tocuh, so is melted mature cheddar

ye gods, I hope it's not that long!

worse case scenario my friend...

off now to cook - got 5 hungry mouths to feed.

thanks for all your advice everyone!

and the banter - Plurk is simply the best ain't it?

caio for naio

Ha! Too many cooks!

I've also tried it with Romano, I liked it but not everyone cares for that cheese.

I have to avoid cheese because of family allergies. Soya cheese is good but has only one flavour, so gets a bit boring.

you have it all sussed so I won't add anything

dinner is cooking away nicely - spuds are nearly ready for creaming

what did those poor little taters ever do to you?

well they are beyond caring now, amalgamated with cream and butter

sauce is finished and ready for the topping of creamed potatoes...

Then a sprinkling of cheese and into the oven...

And so was born the Plurker's Cookbook

why oh why did I tell my friend that we could wait until 10:00 for brunch. I'm starving here. (insert large-ish sigh.)

Nanknits have a nibble of something and don't let on

no, I'm saving myself for the Moroccan oatmeal. But we are SO having brunch earlier next time.

enjoy, when it arrives. I'm deplurking now to head for the supermarket. Byeee.

just about to serve up - cheese is bubbling on top of the pie...

anyone want some??

Bon appetit

no, no, no......must resist. Oatmeal awaits in just a half hour. But thank you kindly for offering.

"spus are ready for creaming"? sounds dodgy!

now now

why don't you go kill something and put it over the fire
