Dodgy home cooking

Chris Maunder

I love cooking, but my day job is stopping me from pursuing my dream of being the next Jamie Oliver. Well, the day job and the fact that I'm not rackishly good looking and don't say 'pucker' every second word. That said, sometimes I have to resort to survival cooking. You know what I mean. It's saturday morning and you're starving but it's too cold/hot/sunny to head outside to forage for food so you make do with what you have inside. I've just cooked something that smelled like wet grass clippings. The ingredients seemed inoccuous enough (besides the furry cheese). Anyone else cooked (and for bonus points, eaten) something a little rank lately? cheers, Chris Maunder

My friend and apartment mate is an excellent cook. I just have to help him with some side jobs like peeling onions :-) He makes very good Kerala dishes Nish

Can't say that I've ever done that, a) because it's never too cold in LA to go out, and b) I don't have the gas turned on in my apartment 'cause I can't cook anyway. ;) Chris Maunder wrote: that smelled like wet grass clippings. They sell that stuff for like $1.50 an ounce at Jamba Juice. ;) They call it wheatgrass juice. X| --Mike-- PROCRASTINATION: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

Sounds like you're settling in Nish :) Glad to see things working out :rose: Elaine The tigress is here :-D

Can't you phone in somewhere and they will do a home deilvery? Why do you need to go out? You can order food on the net too, I suppose? And oh yeah, I can cook food too, almost edible, but Indian only. :)

Maybe you can settle for being Nigel, the Basic Chef... or whatever he calls himself. (a 40 year old balding chap in London riding Jamies coattails.)

I have my microwave ontop of it. So every time I use the microwave it nukes the fridge and the freezer compartment liquifies. Ok so yes, No Duh Paul. :rolleyes: The other night I took out some frozen crumbed fish to fry up. Smelled a touch odd but nothing serious. In the pan they started crumbling, but I ignored that. I spooned some basmati rice onto my fork, a dollop of mayo onto the fish and then into my mouth. Never painted a wall that fast I can tell you. X| So I had two minute noodles, egg on bread and yoghurt for dinner instead. :-D I like to cook but not having an oven is a pain and is cramping my style lol.

Not lately, but Corned Beef Hash cooked in Guinness was a notable disaster of mine. X| Another one is adding Worcester sauce to mashed potato - it tastes great but looks like shit! Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

Nigella rules. She sometimes makes food as hot as herself. ;) -- It's not unusual to be picked up by a klingon woman It's not unusual to have fun with a klingon When I see you kicking me around It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die

My first thought: That is what the kids dog is for. He just got the last piece of liver and loves the stuff. Chris Maunder wrote: I've just cooked something that smelled like wet grass clippings. I cook better than that. You just need more Cayenne peppers or Olive Oil depending on your mood:rolleyes:. "I will find a new sig someday."

Nigel Slater? don't think he's balding, and his books/tv stuff came out way before J.O's. but I can't think of another chef called Nigel. Debbie

Hehehe, did anyone see the recent episode of the comedy (Happiness?) where Johnny Vegas uses Nigella Videos, with a box of tissues to erm, satisfy himself alone?
