Ill Culinary Behaviour

Do you ever worry that your cold eggs from the fridge will crack when you put them into boiling water? Worry no more, with the unique, patented, put-one-in-your-mouth-and-shove-the-others-in-your-armpits-to-bring-them-up-to-room-temperature technique. Buy the instructional DVD now! 
 Other, more normal, culinary adventures over the last month or so have included:
 Beetroot and parmesan soda bread. Soda bread is a revelation; from no bread to fresh bread in half an hour.
 The worst looking, but best tasting, meal of the year; haddock in Moroccan spices with chilli, carrot, pumpkin seed and orange juice salad. With chips.
 Tapas night!
 If I could only eat one cheese forever, it would be Manchego. Discuss. Use both sides of the paper if necessary.
 Chorizo in olive oil, honey, and cider vinegar. Amazing.
 Patatas bravas.
Teeny tiny little quiches in teeny tiny little quiche dishes we were given for christmas. Mind, the mobile phone in the background gives the impression that it's an absolutely enormous quiche. Escher, eat your heart out.

Hello Both!

Most of the food looks like it belongs on the Tapas Bar at Mos Eisley (Star Wars...)

Hee hee!

Like the egg warming thing though.....

To poach, try boiling a pan of water, then putting the eggs in for 10 (count them!) seconds. Get them out, then break into the water and cook to taste: result? perfect poached eggs without recourse to moulds which make the overcooked remains look like a drag-queens falsie....

Love,

John and Jackie
