I can do something for pleasure other than cook!
Tonight I had mince, so I wanted to try and make a doner kebab type of thing. So, I mixed the mince up with some grated ginger, garlic and crushed coriander, basil, and parsley, plus a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Added one egg, and some dried breadcrumbs (not fresh stuff.) Mixed it up thoroughly, dumped it into some cling wrap and squished it into a solid looking sausage.
One the pita bread: whole egg mayo, tomato, lettuce, honey bbq sauce, grated cheese, fried swizz mushrooms, and caramelized balsamic onions and the mince, which I cut into half before cooking so it was oblongy and flat. Came out rather brilliantly. *grin*
Hmmm.... which cookbook to read next??
Actually, I have just finished Thud! I enjoyed it very much. I love you Mr Pratchett! It made me cry for some of the children related bits. :-) However at the end of the novel, I had Chesh come home, plus Sprog decided it would be a good time to be a bit noisy and the TV was going and Chesh kept talking... I'll read it again later. :-) I think I remember what happened...
Still drinking guiness and expressing. It's kind of time consuming, so I have to try and time it for when Vincent is happy being alert and not really being played with much, or else when he is asleep. But, still going. Not sure how long we'll be doing this for. I'm still convinced it is worthwhile at the moment. A few more weeks of this though I might be over it.
I had fun at Swansea yesterday, and bought asparagus, basil, parsley, coriander, potatoes, beetroot, capsicum, spring onions, tomato, brussels sprouts, I thought I bought some beans but I can't find them so I guess not, apples.... artichoke hearts, dried shrimp... er... I can't remember any more! I need the dried shrimp because I have recently acquired the cookbook that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lucretiae and Matt have been cooking from and I am looking forward to cooking many Chinese marvels. It also has recipes for pork and prawn dumplings, char siu bau, rice flour rolls, glutinous rice... I haven't even finished reading this one! The dim sum is the first section in the book!
Anyway, enough chatting to you all. Tomorrow is very busy! We're going to the Kelmscott Show! Cool! :-) Should be fun! I like agricultural shows. :-)
And, just cos, here is a pic of Vincent. The date is wrong. I shall fix now. :-) It's actually from the 7th of October.

We've been planning on buying a whole chicken so we can do it all though.
I love Alton. He shows you USEFUL things about food. Not necessarily cheffy things, but definately USEFUL. And yummy!
