You know what we're missing on Thumped? A food board. I love food. I love thinking about it, shopping for it, cooking it, and thinking about it some more. I especially love talking about it.
Here are some of my latest food issues:

1: Fresh fresh fresh. None of your fancy packaged stuff
2: Olives, all the olives
3: Trying not to add salt to my cooking
4: Adding obscene amounts black pepper/ garlic to my food
5: Obsessing about what is good/bad for me
6: Trying to devise new and clever ways to eat real butter
7: Eating too much toast because I love real butter
8: Living with meat eaters who never wash the frying pan
9: Big fat vats of spicy soup for the winter warmth
10: Stuffed peppers

2 Olives rock esp green
3 Salt is lovely and helps your blood pressure
4 Yeah!
5 Dont obsess - just enjoy

7 People who spread Stork margarine on toast should be shot
8 People who don't wash up are hippy cunts
9 What flavours?
10 Are overrated

Real butter rules.

If I had to choose between butter and chocolate, butter'd win. By loads.

 

[spiritualtramp]

real butter is waaay better than them horrid processed to fuck spreads.

Ever hear what happens if one eats too much of them spreads? it is pretty nasty.

I have a really simple lebanese recipe for lentil and cumin soup which is pretty yummy. you want?


ooh and I also have a recipe for some lebanese stuff called moudardarah (sp?) which is made from lentils, onions and rice and you chuck a bit of salt and loads of black pepper in. it is the nicest food ever. tis like savoury porridge or something. plus it costs about 5 cents to make a portion of it.

I will post up the recipe when I find it.

This stuff? It is the rockinest. You look at the recipe, and you're like, "Yeah, so?" but then you eat it, and you're like, "Yeah! So!" Have you ever tried this with yoghurt? It makes it taste a hundred times better. Yummmmmm.

Megedarra:

285g (1 3/4 cups) Brown Rice
285g (1 3/4 cups) brown lentils
Sea Salt
Vegetable oil
Black pepper
3 large onions
Yoghurt (plain/natural)

1. Put rice and lentils in large saucepan, pour in boiling water, leave to soak for several hours.
2. Chop one onion finely and fry in a little oil until tenderized and golden
3. Drain rice and lentils, return to saucepan, cover with fresh water, add fried onion and a little sea salt, and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and leave to cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
4. A few minutes before rice and lentils are ready, slice the other 2 onions thinly and fry them in very hot oil, stirring constantly so they don't burn but turn very dark brown.
5. Put the sliced fried onions on top of the rice and lentil mixture. Eat with yoghurt.

2: Olives, all the olives
6: Trying to devise new and clever ways to eat real butter

Yum. Triple yum. Olives.

And butter.

Speaking of butter, it's nearly cookie season. I plan to make my iced rude snowmen again, these peanut butter oat things that seemed to be a hit, maybe some gingerbread cookies, these crunchy ones with almonds in them, and I might buy a cookie press and make some other kinds that I used to have when I was a kid.

I bought loads of stuff at Tesco last night, and will go on another ingredient expedition today.

Cookies!

Hmmm....wonder what would happen if I made some sort of savoury olive biscuits?

I make this but it's always a bit tasteless, but yoghurt, mmm good idea

Here's what I had for lunch yesterday, turned out very nice:

Cormac's soupy stuff:
groundnut oil
1 big lump of root ginger, finely chopped
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 fresh red chilli, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons of Marigold vegetable bouillon powder
1 teaspoon miso paste
noodles
prawns
some mirin (around 2 tablespoons, maybe a bit more)

Fry the ginger, shallots and chilli in the peanut oil. Add around a pint and a half of water with the miso and the bouillon powder. Bring to the boil. Put in the noodles and simmer. When the noodles are nearly done add the prawns and the mirin.
When the prawns are heated through eat it! Yummy!

That's actually where me and Niamh had our wedding reception - food was yum

 

[krystal]

that would be a great place for a wedding reception, lucky your guests! I've been 4 times I think, Monday was without a doubt the best. Have you tried Diep Noodles in Ranelagh? Apparently it's really good but I haven't been yet.

 

[Super Dexta]

best thing i've eaten recently: oranges someone brought back from crete. amazing.
