    Bob Ross

    Mister Gain replied to king's topic in General Talk

    Used to like watching Bob Ross painting his landscapes, and when I retired I bought a set of his paints and brushes and had a go, it's a relatively easy technique for anyone wishing to give oil painting a go. People refer to it as the 'Bob Ross' technique, but it's actually based on an artist he learned from called Bill Alexander. Don't be fooled by his soft spoken demeanour, he did 20 years in the US military mostly based in Alaska and attained the rank of Master Sergeant, the guy who bawled and screamed at everyone, and he decided that when he retired he would no longer bawl and scream

    Nice video Doug. Like how you explained the humanity side of ferreting the rabbits as opposed to the alternatives. Used to help control the rabbits on an orchard in Kent where if left they would ring bark the established fruit trees, thus killing the trees, and also undermining the trees by digging out warrens in and around the root system, again killing the trees. Same with all kinds of crops. Trouble is there are a lot of people who have 'fluffy bunny syndrome' and don't actually give any thought to the consequences of NOT controlling them. It's a similar attitude with urban foxes where I li

    This Sunderland supporter assumed the Trafalgar Sq fountain was deeper than 18".

    I just knew he wasn't an animal, not once did I see him dragging his arse across the carpet.

    Thoroughly enjoyed watching it Doug, good catch and retrieve by the pup, thanks for posting it.

    What you can't see in the photo of the peas pudding is the flavour. I cook it in chicken stock with a couple of chopped up onions, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, couple of chopped carrots. When it has softened enough and absorbed all the stock I remove all the bits and pieces and adjust the flavour with salt and then stir in butter to give the glossy appearance. If I have it with boiled bacon I use that stock instead of chicken stock. It firms up as it cools and you can actually slice it the next day. The only bland bit on the plate is the dayglo mushy peas out of a tin.

    Offal pies, and homemade faggots with onion gravy and homemade peas pudding with mushy peas.

    I've always thought I'd like to have a go at the fermented fish I don't mind having a go at most foods but I couldn't bring myself to try fetal duck eggs (Balut)

    Used to use Dunnes River jerk paste with the addition of dehydrated apple pieces to make 10 inch long sausages, they sold well at a quid each. Also used to hot smoke the marinated chicken thighs, gave it another dimension and retained the flavour and heat of the jerk, even had it on mackerel although it quickly overpowers the fish, what with it being thin fillets.

    If you like ordinary home cooked Jamaican food 'Cook Like A Jamaican' has a youtube channel, although it doesn't get updated very often nowadays. https://www.youtube.com/user/CookLikeAJamaican/videos Personally I'm quite happy just using Walkers Wood or Dunnes River jerk paste.

    Mister Gain replied to Meece's topic in General Talk

    Wife brought me home a piece of Greggs bread pudding last year, absolute shite, had poor flavour and the texture of dried breadcrumbs. We have Quorn 'mince' occasionally and I wouldn't even attempt to make sausage rolls with it, it is a good carrier of flavour for 'saucy' meals like spaggy bol and chilli's. I prefer not to use commercially produced mince as I don't enjoy biting into tiny pieces of bone and cartilage, although my first choice would be buying the meat and trimming and mincing it myself.

    Hi matey, it might pay you to contact Doug Craig (username sirblessed) on here, he'll have loads of good advice for you. He used to live Werribee area but moved last year. Don't know if he's still in the state of Victoria or just outside. Have a scroll through this section, he's put quite a few youtube videos up of his ferreting, here's a link to his page https://www.youtube.com/user/Sirblessed/videos

    I use the organic dry cure from sausagemaking.org, it uses some demerara sugar and sea salt and low in nitrates. It was the first one I ever used years ago and never felt the need to change. Don't do much in the way of charcuterie nowadays.

    Looks excellent GL, have you tried dry curing pig cheeks using a bacon cure and hot smoking them on the BBQ? They are well worth a go.

    Got a bit busy there at times, very enjoyable.
  18. Mister Gain
    Nice office you've got there, another enjoyable sortie
  19. Mister Gain
    Enjoyed that mate. It's been good watching Fleet evolving.

    A big thumbs up to you mate for taking the time and trouble to show the lad how it's done.

    I seem to recall, think it was back in the 80's, there was a Thames Lighter moored somewhere near Greenhithe and a local tackle dealer would let people hire it for the night to fish from and they caught cod and whiting. I myself have caught small dabs and flounder, as well as eels, from Erith on freshwater gear and worms.

    Next it'll be the ball gag, then the hand cuffs and ankle cuffs, then the under bed restraining fetish kit, and then my sex life will be fcuked

    Nice bit of grub there. Had to make do with left over paella for my lunch. Made it yesterday, 43 years anniversary, had to make the effort. She don't like mussels in the shell but if I take them out and mix them in she don't mind them... lazy fcuker I call it.

    I was an altar boy for about a year when I was 10, and the priest didn't try it on at all. I can only conclude that I must have been a very ugly child...

    Same as me, have nothing to do with my family, and only got a couple of mates. Only one problem, I don't do the lottery.
