    I made pancakes... ran down the shop and bought a pint of milk.... then rushed home and made pancakes.

    Ate them all... with granulated sugar.

    I'd forgotten how great they tasted.
    :T

    Good for you, I hope mine are as tasty as that, I only make them once a year, looking forward to them now

    Afternoon everyone,
    I'm late on parade today as I was having a good catch up with some re his Prague adventures (suspect I may have got the santised version which suits me just fine LOL) he seems to have had a good time going by the fact he slept for a straight 14 hours last night :eek:
    Anyway that's me back to cooking for one for the next couple weeks, no idea what I'm having tonight not sure I can cba making pancakes much as I love them. Sweet I like simple lemon and sugar or crepes suzette but my favourite is savoury versions with most any filling. :D

    Foodwise has been a bit random so far LO roast veg for breakfast and toast with tuna pate and baby plum tomatoes and a couple of baby Czech chorizo type sausages;)
  • Hey guys I've been a bit quiet lately! Hope everyone is doing OK!
    No clue what I'm cooking tonight, though no clue if my mate is over for the usual dinner or not!
    Got my temporary promotion in work though :j and egg custard tarts in the fridge. No milk though so no pancakes for me :(

    After the pancakes I thought "that's it for today...." but the pie in the fridge called me. It's got a Use By date of 4 March, so there should've been no rush, but then I justified it to myself as "Ah, just eat that - get rid of it once and for all" .... and I ate it... with chips and Bisto.

    Then, just as I was feeling all excited at pie/chips I remembered the dratted 10-things .... and so I did a pile of peas with it too.

    That pie was much tastier than I'd expected....and it was tasty ....EVERY day I ate it (four of them in the end).

    Random question of the day:

    In your opinion, are Anchovies good for you?

    I admire your stamina LOL :D
  • For today - as I was in "cooking mode" I left the idea of pancakes to do on a CBA day.

    So - lunch was lentil and cheese bake with baked ocas and some salad.

    Dinner - I'd had a "main meal" for the day - so had some more oca (raw this time - with lemon juice squeezed over and some salt/pepper ground over), followed by rye bread spread with garlic cheese, an apple and healthy version of hot chocolate drink (milk/raw cacao/date syrup and bit of freshly-ground nutmeg on top).

    Oca was a (successful) food experiment. Not had that before and hence 2 ways of trying it - one cooked way and the raw way. I liked both:). That's another "new to me" food added to the "list of likes" today then.

    Well I certainly wouldn't say they're bad for you. Never really thought about it.

    Don't think it will be pancakes here, unless anyone has a milkless recipe that works. Just going to nuke the last spud, to have with cheese, beans and a tomato.

    Don't see why not though I imagine the silver ones are better than the cured tinned/jarred ones. I do love them though any way they come.They are my naughty list due to the high salt but I couldn't eat hundreds of them anyway :D
