A new 'tougher' thread... and so it continues

mardatha

Hi smiley, people are missing you all over the internet!
We were so sick and tired of wind that we went out. The RV bought a new helmet and then let me loose in Lidl. Back home now knackered. But happy.

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THERE WAS A TOUGHER THREAD AGAIN????:p:p:p

Humph.

Double humph.

Have I missed anything exciting? I can't possibly go back through the thousands or posts that are on here!

And most importantly - does GreyQueen still have a stash of tinned tomatoes under her bed? I'm all agog to know!

Catch you all later - I've been on the computer all day so far so I need to give myself a break. Take care xxx

Hi Smileyt, How are you its been awhile.:)

Slip the skins off, cut them up into little meatballs and cook with onions then stir in a tin of chopped tomatoes and a splash of cider to make a sauce and serve with pasta. I use penne and put the lot in a baking dish, tuck in left over broccoli florets cover the lot with a cheese sauce and bake like a lasagne. Nomnomnom

Yum Yum DD and Me would love this idea :j but i would have to think of something else sausage wise for him , as he doesn't do pasta, and can sometimes be iffy with cheese sauce or any pale coloured sauces talk about being blasted akward, you would think after being married 31yrs, i could have persauded him into eating pasta.

I
Sausages for Tea but not sure with what yet anyone got any suggestions :idea:different to the usual mash and beans/Mash/veg and onion gravy.

When I lived in Japan my local 'pub' used to do something called 'jaga' potates which I presume was a German dish. Basically sliced sausages fried up quickly and then add sliced potatoes with seasoning, a bit of chilli and whatever else you want. I add sliced leeks or really anything else I've got - onions, sweetcorn, it's all nice. I use a good non-stick wok which doesn't need much oil so it's not that unhealthy.

Smiley !!!!!! wondered where you had gone, thought you had upped sticks and moved to a more genteel thead :rotfl:. Good to see you back!

Damn windy here still, went up into the garden to sort some logs and it was a bit hairy up the side of the hill in a force 9! Poor birdies been blowd in all directions. No hope of cat going out he is a total wuss puss.

Decs down this morning and it looks very bare now

Gailey - if you want to go for the job, do it, men are no good at dealing with change!

Arty - Don't worry about following recipes - just use what you
have got and your imagination! Any sort of meat sauce mixed with pasta/cheese/white sauce would be yummy! I make up my meat/pasta sauce every time I make it - never the same!

Off up to coop in a mo on a whoopsie hunt - I still want cream to make butter!

Anyone got any ideas as to what I can do with pate that needs eating up? I dont think you can freeze it, so any suggestions would be great

Ooohh No!!

I've just bought 4 bowls of Christmas pate (whoopsied at 50p each from £2.99 :money:) and was planning on freezing it . Does anyone else freeze pate? What's the worst that can happen if I do? Damn!!

Mrs_Chip

Worst would be the texture going a bit funny, but I don't see why pate would not freeze ok.
