Hahaha, what about Skittles? :P

and beer.
:o Isn't there some story about a pie shop and uses human for meat?You might be thinking of a film called Delicatessen (IMDb link (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101700/)). It features a butcher in a post-apocalyptic world; he's also a landlord, whose tenants occasionally "disappear".
That would never happen to our jam since we use so much damn sugar. :PIt would never happen to my jam either because I'd eat it first.
A Greek salad thing tonight (Feta cheese is the best) made by MoD. It was delicious :D .
What other appropriate response is there to man who so fearlessly announces he shall soon be facing the terrors of producing a turkey based chilli dish than to wish good luck unto him and all of his lineage?The dynasty of Fox survived another meal. It was delicious. I'm still amazed that I've found anything worthwhile to do with minced turkey.
I've not been eating many of the things in my freezer. In protest it has all defrosted and started to smell.Ick. Not fun, and usually rather expensive :( I'm guessing it took offence at being left alone for Christmas.
I made a beef roast with gravy, red skin potatoes, and peas for New Year's dinner and then pancakes (American), bacon, and scrambled eggs for breakfast the next morning.
Was going to make hummus, forgot to buy chickpeas :-\ so i stuffed my pitta breads with salad, red onion and mushroom instead :)That sounds really good :)
Fortunately I have some bitchin peppermint tea.
her fiancee baked a chicken which had been molested with a beer bottle. It was very good.
Today, I'm cooking pasta, and will probably add pesto to it, as a culinary creation that will surprise nobody whatsoever. :P
Beans on pancakes or beans and then pancakes?
Sandwiches are amazing and excellent things.
Ah gotcha. My pic above is a typical Polish breakfast.I can vouch for this. ;)
I ate cold pizza today. Both meals. And some apples.
How do you know someone is vegetarian?You mean of course that we are all considerate and pragmatic enough to let our hosts know we have particular dietary requirements?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Rice + prawns + chorizo + green pepper + Doctor Who ...And what does Time Lord taste like, pray tell? Are they better roasted or boiled? :P
Bought some tofu earlier so I might well have a stir fry for tea, but I also bought stuff to make falafel so I might do that instead. Exciting times.
Nie, ale moja dziewczyna jest. Hopefully I responded correctly, I only knew a few of the words so had to ask Mr. Google. :)
Crisssps.
Toasttoasttoast :)
madness.You probably thought I was going with the remix, but no, here in Sparta we eat that black broth pork and blood scheisse.
Chocolate ripple cake. Best thing to come out of Australia other than wifi and fridges.Judging by the pictures and recipes, it looks delicious. I doubt I can get the correct Arnott's biscuits anywhere nearer than London, but I imagine it will be fun trying British alternatives :)
Actually, all aussie food is pretty good. Other than vegemite. Vegemite is crap. take it from an aussie.I haven't had it, despite spending nearly 6 weeks in Australia in 2007. I do like Marmite (the nearest British equivalent), in carefully controlled doses, so I still want to give vegemite a try some time.
Judging by the pictures and recipes, it looks delicious. I doubt I can get the correct Arnott's biscuits anywhere nearer than London, but I imagine it will be fun trying British alternatives :)Any biscuit that looks like the top right one here should be perfect:
Really, any crumbly biscuit that turns "cakey" when wet would work.Hmm... I will see what I can find. I might also need some
Really I'm not sure why Arnotts haven't extended over there, I feel like Ripple biscuits and tim tams would be big hits in other countries.They probably would, but we have our own well-established biscuit companies, selling broadly similar products to a pretty much saturated market. It's very difficult to break into a new market in a country thousands of miles away; even within the European Union, I don't think there's very much trade in things like biscuits across national borders.
I made pizzas today from scratch, dough and everything. Given that I cook for a minimum 6 people a night, I ended up making 9 pizzas and they all got eated.
Today's offering; rice, with fried chorizo, prawns, green pepper, onion, and garlic mixed in. Simple but quite nice :)

You do so much cooking! :O
I cooked this (http://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/11/creamy-pesto-pasta-chicken-broccoli/) tonight. There's no photos because the whole lot got scoffed pretty sharpish. Delicious and quick to make.
The creamy sauce is what really made it happen :oI cooked this (http://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/11/creamy-pesto-pasta-chicken-broccoli/) tonight. There's no photos because the whole lot got scoffed pretty sharpish. Delicious and quick to make.Chicken pesto pasta is so good with broccoli in! :D

One of my mates introduced me to oatcakes today, they were incredible!What type of oatcakes?
It did not, in fact, have any broccoli in it.
Mmmm we have lots of Amish bakeries around here that make the best cinnamon rolls, as we call them. :)
What sorts of things/threads do you think it would be good to have more of?
If you can get my access to the forum CSS I can add it in pretty easily. I do webdev consulting on the side.That sounds great - I'll drop you a message about it soon :)

@Glaur: Indeed I don't think I've been to that bakery - maybe next time I'm in town!I'll try to make sure we get there. We must have walked past it umpteen times in the past - it's on my regular walking route to the city centre.

(https://i.imgur.com/SSZYv39.jpg) A tamtaki - a fusion "traditional Georgian dish on a soft taco" thing. Here with Skhmeruil, garlic chicken. Was extremely good. | (https://i.imgur.com/ZJgwprW.jpg) A meal at Veriko, which is an excellent Georgian restaurant. The bread item is a kubdari, a meat-filled bread, and the cheese is gebzhalia, a cheese, mint and matsoni dish. |
(https://i.imgur.com/3hnfXPP.jpg) Khinkali, some meat some cheese, at the restaurant Shemomechama. The name of the restaurant is a verb roughly meaning "I ate it by accident". | (https://i.imgur.com/TtCnNOd.jpg) Trout is quite a thing in Armenia. This smoked trout & orange bruschetta were at Cafe Ilik, which is now my favourite Yerevan Cafe. |
(https://i.imgur.com/cS62HtL.jpg) I occasionally managed some familiar tea. This with a fairly Armenian-style layered honey cake in the back. | (https://i.imgur.com/sCXkNRa.jpg) And a less familiar tea in Yerevan, this one made out of sweetened sea buckthorn, a notably sour fruit raw. |
(https://i.imgur.com/w4ShAk8.jpg) Georgian has no letter f in the alphabet. As such, when I saw a Tbilisi waffle shop I had to get one to be amused at it being a wapple. It was also nice. | (https://i.imgur.com/96tRFWH.jpg) In general I think Tbilisi has better restaurants than Yerevan, but Yerevan does better snacks and street food. This kiln bread (baked on the side of an open kiln) is absolutely the food of the gods. |
(https://i.imgur.com/cZB6O7r.jpg) Good tolma is good, I've had a lot of bad tolma in the past but I really enjoyed the stuff I could get in Yerevan. | (https://i.imgur.com/emnsQ9N.jpg) Chicken harissa. I enjoyed this one! |
(https://i.imgur.com/adIyORQ.jpg) Back in Tbilisi, a vegetarian kharcho, fried aubergine in walnut sauce, at the vegetarian cafe Leila which is nice & pretty. | (https://i.imgur.com/GL69LBC.jpg) Chicken in berry sauce from the Corner at Tabidze restaurant. It was excellent. |
(https://i.imgur.com/dJt75DA.jpg) Pasta with sour cream, chives, lemon juice, and smoked salmon as a sauce. The sprinkling on top is sumac. This was excellent. | (https://i.imgur.com/dBpnLCy.jpg) Canapes from my in-person birthday celebrations. Sadly wasn't able to serve these at the online event. |
(https://i.imgur.com/OSsdOzh.jpg) One of my classic fried khachapuris (is this my signature recipe? Is that a thing I have now?) | (https://i.imgur.com/DdlCs4a.jpg) Cheese polenta with tomatoes and berberis berries: looks like very much A Lump but was actually very good. |
(https://i.imgur.com/4K8qRar.jpg) Pancake day, the savoury side: melting cheese with old doverhouse chutney onto a crepe as it finishes frying. | (https://i.imgur.com/h5KjzFM.jpg) Pancake day, the sweet side: melting nutella with bananas onto a crepe. |
(https://i.imgur.com/LA9B9Rw.jpg) I made some little pastries to use up some frozen apricots I'd had for ages! | (https://i.imgur.com/CF92qqs.jpg) Sadly I wildly overcooked them, but they were quite tasty anyway despite the looks. |
(https://i.imgur.com/LjuQzsg.jpg) From my Italy travels, a squacquerone (almondy crumble-cake base) cheesecake. This was very good. | (https://i.imgur.com/6xAjO2Y.jpg) A sandwich from Bologna which was especially good: an Italian blue cheese with I think pork shoulder and a few other things. |
Sadly it's now halfway through March and I can't settle on something I want to make this month. Any suggestions for me? I've made a lot of Italian/Spanish dishes before, and a few Asian ones, but otherwise haven't branched out much (hence the challenge!)What about something South American? Trying to do empanadas or ceviche or something? I've never got round to making those but they seem fun.
