  • oo i am 'bedrocking' as we speak why do i get sexy thoughts when i hear that:cool::rotfl:

    i know this is slightly off tpoic/programme but has anyone seen that aussie food prgroamme on the food channel, that cooks with just 4 ingredients?

    only caught a glimpse of it yesturday afternoon, but what i saw of it, it looks good, especially for using up bits, and is god for not carrying loads of ingredients in the cupboard...lol..

    I didn't even know there was a Food Channel.... I'm watching Virgin Chefs on iplayer at the moment, when this finishes in about 5 minutes I'll google that and see if it's online.

    I do like the programme & although I've tended to cook like this for a while, as I love cooking from scratch, I'm getting lots of new recipe ideas to try. Hey......but did you see right at the end of the last episode? They showed a tiny clip for next week's programme, and it seemed to be a couple cooking a big chicken, eating the breast meat & then saying that the rest of it would be thrown away? THROWN AWAY??? My husband spent the next 10 mins almost needing therapy. He kept saying 'but it's still got both legs on, what about the wings? Then there's all that meat underneath, and there's still enough left on that breast to do my sarnies for tomorrow,....etc, etc.....I'm standing by ready to administer cardiac massage when he actually gets to see the whole programme later this week..........

    I used to be the same (not that I did it), but when I was at home I would only eat breast meat (still my favourite part) so if I were to buy a chicken that's all i'd eat from it.

    If I am now doing a roast chicken i'll still only eat the breast, but i'll pick the rest of the meat off and use it for something else. I just don't like dark meat on its own. I buy thighs nowadays, but they're generally used in curry or stirfry.

    hi guys i'm hoping one of you lovely people can help, tonight i made the recipe for the biscuits you can just get the dough out of the freezer slice it up and cook it,
    it was really sticky?? i rolled it into a sausage shape, but when i took the clingfilm off it had stuck.
    when i cooked them they tasted like flat buns not biscuits, the only thing i did differently was that i used normal granulated sugar, not golden granulated? would this make a huge difference?:o:confused:confused:
