lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I've met a few people on this forum, and made a few new friends. Today I made a new one in Bert the Fert We've chatted back in forth in pm's, and met today at my house for the first time. We spent the day nattering and laughing in my kitchen, while Bert taught me a few culinary things while deftly avoiding stepping on my kitten We've made enough nosh to last a week Steak and kidney pie, mince mix for various uses, stuffed chicken breasts, pumpkin risotto ... Sometimes folks come on here and complain that all anyone does is bitch and argue and they go on about this place being all manner of bad things. But that isn't always the way - maybe we just get what we give? In any case I wanted to say thank you to Bert for a thoroughly enjoyable day and for showing me some of her considerably delicious tricks. Very much looking forward to next time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very much looking forward to next time Ohh bless you I had a brill time doing two of my very favourite things; yakking and cooking ! And i can't wait for our next session. Just count yourself lucky that you still have a kitten. It took every ounce of self control not to stick her in me pocket on the way out Don't forget, if you get stuck on any of the prep, gimme a bell ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest crobinc840 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Good job, you two should do an article on proper country cooking. I'm willing to offer my services as a taste tester and photographer if your not too far away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My pies are good, but you'd have a ten hour round trip to taste 'em Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Himself periodically demands junk food, and last night i had to eat hotdogs with fried onions and mustard :sick: I know i'd have sooner been eating what we cooked yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a bad cook, just not an adventurous one Bert last night's meal came out fab - I think the cabbage might've earned me a few points You dont hear that every day about cabbage.............. fkn starvin now..... It was cabbage with bacon, onions and cream Pumpkin risotto and bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breasts. Easy enough once you do it ... just not something I'd have thought of doing. Steak and kidney pie on the menu tonight, with parsnip and sweet potato garlic mash. I let the kids taste the steak and kidney last night when I took it out of the oven and they loved it. Oh and Bert ... the superhero surprise when down a treat, tho one of the kids did complain about the leeks Three clean plates Poor Bert having to eat hotdogs ... I've yet to find a hotdog in this country that compares to the ones back home. I was horrified when I discovered you guys actually sell them packed in tins :sick: Oh and about that kitten: I briefly considered parcelling her up and shipping her to you when she ran across my mildly thumping post-too-many-ciders head at 7am this morning Edited November 21, 2010 by lurchergrrl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
