And that one is me ! I love animals and if I see a dead kitten on a road I burst into tears .. I wish I was tougher !

That sounds like my families recipe! Except we used rosemary instead of thyme!  OK - now i am sounding more like a Simon and Garfunkel song than a recipe!

If you're thinking of Scarborough Fair, that's actually a traditional ballad from Yorkshire.

Quite true, but S&G were the first ones i ever herd perform it.

With the weather cooling off we're getting into comfort food mode. I'm seeing a seafood gumbo about to happen very very soon.

Heheheh - smoking season is starting too. Really hard to keep cold smoke in 98* weather.

I love making lasagna myself or assisting my dad in preparing some exotic type of fish he's found somewhere. We have little in common so its extra fun when we do this together. ^^

Yay to Google, never heard of it before. Yes I know carrots.

Cold and rainy means soup or stew. Chick pea stew...yumm.

It's a very British thing, dear.

I'm afraid that Toad in the Hole doesn't look all that appealing regardless of how it tastes.

moist sausage, warm and crunchy thyme flavoured batter with carrots and splashing of thick gravy? what's not to love?

Was considering a bubble and squeak myself.

That looks so much better than toad in the hole!

Give me a thick, juicy bacon cheeseburger with all the trimmings over a steak anyday. And I've got a sweet tooth that just won't quit! Close your eyes and imagine homemade cannoli; authentic New York or Chicago cheesecake; or beignets in New Orleans. Yummmmmm! Makes me feel so good!

[BEKelley]

Nothing like fried potatoes, eggs and sausage for breakfast on a Saturday morning and I didn't even burn anything!

[Aditus]

Potato soup with sautéed onions and parsley on top. Yum. I'll eat this warmly wrapped in a blanket outside while enjoying a clear, crisp fall evening.

[Sasha Distan]

if i can be bothered, there will be pancakes with maple syrup and bacon in an hour or so. anyone else for breakfast?

[Aditus]

I had just that.

somebody remind me to post the pizza dough recipe...

[Kitt]

remember to post the pizza dough recipe

[Sasha Distan]

Pizza dough

 

• 1 kg white flour
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 x 7 g dried yeast sachets
• 1 tablespoon caster sugar
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• approx 650 ml lukewarm water

since i did giant quantities (x3 this recipe) i did mine as a pile on the surface, but you could use a bowl.

 

sift the salt into the flour. mix the yeast, sugar and oil together in a jug, then add 400ml of the warm water. stand for a minute or two, then mix in slowly.add the rest of the water gently until you get the right consistency.

Knead hard for 10 mins, then leave in a floured bowl with clingfilm for an hour until doubled in size. mine tried to climb out of the bowl it go so big.

knock back, divide into balls, roll out and make pizza. you should be able to deal with that yourselves.
