Bored now.  
longest.

day.

ever.

Why isn't it seven o'clock yet? (I say 7 because by then I should be home)
Why is there no beer in my fridge or wine in my house?
Why have I got nothing good to eat in the fridge or freezer?
Can I afford to treat myself to pizza and beer (and maybe even ice cream...)?
Will this day ever end?!

of course what I really want is...

Steak (blue). Lightly seared and with a roasted garlic and black pepper seasoning.
wild mushrooms, cooked in italian herbs and a little red wine (that jus then used to deglaze the steak griddle and poured over the steak)
breaded onion rings
steamed brocolli
mashed potatoes with wholegrain mustard and butter
roast potatoes (roasted in olive oil and Italian herbs)

Red wine (the Co-Op's Fair Trade Argentinian Shiraz for preference)

Apple Pie (the one we made for [livejournal.com profile] kitty_cat89's birthday was excellent) with a little Mackies' Ice Cream

See, you would have made me all hungry, but then you mentioned mushrooms and I'm ALL GOOD again :P.

Other than that, that sounds delightful. Mmmmh.

You should go to the f&v Stall and get a couple of apples. Then poke me until I give you the pastry recipe :D

See, I poked you last night for the pastry recipe and you still didn't get it to me. If you send me it tonight, then I can make it, put it in the fridge and go get some apples from the greengrocers in the village tomorrow...

Might pick up some mushrooms while I'm there as well...

I'm not sure I should facilitate mushroom buying, but I'll try and remember to do it tonight. I PROMISE.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on November 16th, 2007 03:31 pm (UTC)
They might even have a variety of mushrooms for me to choose from. Or I could take a walk up to the deli shop and get some imported dried wild mushrooms from there and make a really good risotto...

Good. I'm in the mood for apple pie now. And it'll be all your fault if I don't get to make it.

*shudders*

Look, guilt doesn't work if I'm freaked.
wenchpixie: dude[personal profile] wenchpixie on November 16th, 2007 09:16 pm (UTC)
except for it does :).

8oz plain flour
4oz marge
2 tbsp COLD water, added slowly.

Whizz to bread crumbs then bring together by hand, adding fingerfuls of COLD water if required.


I used 2 lots for the pie.

See. Even though you're all mushrooming and evil.

fantabulous.

Even though I am beered up (as you may or may not be able to tell from the spelling and squeeing about 1980s fandoms...) I shall make some now!

Huh. I don't have any food icons. Whodathunkit?

My stomach just rumbled!!!!!! Damn you...

Y'know what, just for that I'm tempted to cook something out of my freezer this weekend. Could be a slow-roasted lamb shank with red wine, garlic and rosemary; or gressingham duck with red wine and citrus gravy.

Obviously served with red onion mash and/or lemon & thyme roasties, or new potatoes rolled in garlic butter. And some kind of green vegetable, possibly peas.

And then a really dark chocolate pud, all warm and oozy and bitter, with (obviously) Mackie's Ice Cream.

Yum yum yum yum yum... *drools*

I tend to have sweeter sauces with duck, something citrusy might make for a nice change.

Hmmm.

Actually, I just got a random craving for ginger pudding and custard...

GUSTARD!


Sorry, I'll stop that now.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on November 16th, 2007 03:37 pm (UTC)
It's really cold in the office right now, so I think some 'gustard' as you so delightfully call it is definitely called for!
wenchpixie: hell yeah dean[personal profile] wenchpixie on November 16th, 2007 09:17 pm (UTC)
It's a lovely thing.

Have you heard J shout it? He shouts it quite a LOT.
[identity profile] emorpheus.livejournal.com on November 17th, 2007 03:34 pm (UTC)
he does in deed shout about it a lot as well he should. One of my better inventions all be it it was accidental..
