Nice people thread part 8 - worth the wait

I've not made a frittata for about 3 years.... mine are typically basic, so just: slice/fry par-boiled spuds and sliced onions, lob in some peas and/or sliced peppers, lob in the eggs and cheese.


Always served with baked beans.

Please tell me they'll lead to the end of mass market paperbacks. I hate them. They fall apart so quickly.

In the long term, I think ebooks will take over for cheap disposable reads, with trade paper and hardback for those books you give as a gift or keep long term.

Mass market paperbacks probably won't be around forever.

Next bit's a compromise/tricky as I've not got a grill usually, or it'd be too much of a faff to try to get the frying pan under one.... so I try to poke the cheese into the eggy bits.... then, I'll slide it off onto a plate and flip it back into the pan.... just long enough for the egg to set/colour, without the cheese being a problem/mess.

My mother's included some spuds, spinach, parsley, tomatoes, green beans, asparagus, leeks, onion, garlic, corgettes and some other things I might have forgotten.

She says it's harndy because you can chuck in any veg you happen to have to hand.

We didn't have any baked beans, but did have some broccoli.

And, apparently, it was a mixture of normal eggs and some duck eggs.

I've got a small frying pan to make mine in - as there's only me. It is probably about 9-10" wide.... that lot'd never fit in it One fry-up makes four portions really .... except I am a pig so will eat two straight away.

There were lots of us - my parents, both sisters, me, and Isaac.

Was the letter a problem?

...

Don't take it personally, if Generali stubs his toe when he returns he'll be cross-questioned too (as he should be.... he probably qualifies as a health tourist the little immigrant).

They're just having to double check everybody, not just you, as it's been discovered there's been widespread abuse, so they now have boxes to actually tick, instead of pretending to tick them.

Confused. I thought Misscool was from an eu country.
