I miss hair. I might do a Playford later this year. But the metal in me keeps hangin' on to the last strands like a madman. It's not pretty, but I don't really care.

I can always drown my hair sorrows with wine (the one thing church is good for I might add, too bad they don't let me in to have some).

Last few strands you say.

Always good to put a face to the members.

For every potato you eat you gain one strand of hair.
Leaving the peel on also increases length by 1cm. (still talking about hair)

I think i figured out why you dont like potatoes even tho they are so heavenly.
Its just not in a dark lords nature to like angelic things.

Well f**k me sideways.

This is a true story. Since I like to think the best of people and love humanity and all, I took it to heart when kuma-san told earlier that potatoes are like these great things. And being somewhat hair challenged, I thought why not do a real life experiment.

So I was walking around the market square some hours ago. The SUn was shining, I was happy, and heading back to home with my 24-pack of beer and a big bag of avocados.

As I was passing by all kinds of food related booths, a nice old lady kind of yelled at me from her booth (scared me, I was not paying attention). She told me they have a special deal. It was closing time, so they had an offer: 2kg of potatoes for 5 euro (compared to 3,90 € per kilo).

So I thought, yeah let's give them spuds a chance. At least they are the new harvest ones. How bad can they be? I mean, I can't remember the last time I ate one.

Happily boiled those beasts (not the whole 2kg, I'm not insane - my mother had me tested) while listening to some great music. And had a beer or two. Everything was ok in the world.

But.

The time came to eat those bastards. I had several, plus some herring and smoked mackarel (since Bambi reminded me of those delicacies).

I'm not sure if I passed out before I finished my plate or right after that. It's all a blur. The tubers from hell knocked me out cold. Bloody hell, what is in these things?! I will not have ANOTHER SPUD AGAIN this year.

The moral of the story: Stick to your guns. And don't belive the hype.

There's something seriously wrong with potatoes.

I see the knife belt as an essential tool in maintaining Social Distancing.

Would certainly, post Corona, make getting to the bar a lot easier

I bet he never imagined his potato-peeler belt would be good for anything other than peeling potatotes.

Hey guys, after a busy day settling down with a late night curry.
Basic rice and a prawn Bhuna with added chilli and home grown coriander! Also 2 left over onion bhaji’s.
Some garlic naans and a pint of soda, ice and blackcurrent.
Bit tired and am up early to get my daughter so description and pic isn’t the best, apologies.
Best wishes and smiles and hope you’ve all well.
Ben

Hey folks, cooked this ages ago but had To assist a good mate with a issue that needed resolving.
It’s homemade potatoes, with peppers and garlic and cooked with a tad of oil.
The chicken is seasoned and topped in a coronation dressing (overly creamy) for me.
And some boring g bread.
it’s far too dry as I left it to attend to urgent matters.
We do have freshly chopped parsley on top however and I’ve just opened a beer.
Hope your well guys and props and cheers to the owner; max and mods for attaining badass status.
Smiles and high fives.
Ben

@Playford7 i think these meals are great. The problem is the photographs.
you Need to improve the angle of your shot and maybe some lighting.
just a suggestion but otherwise I enjoy your posts and glad to see a single dad spending time with his daughter.

Taken on board mate.
Sometimes I’m tired. My daughter has ran me ragged during the day, and it’s a quick picture.
Was only meant in a fun way mate due to many folks locked down with the virus.
As said I had to pop out to help a friend this evening, my meal looked great before I went out..
Sadly sat in the microwave hours then me coming home and posting it doesn’t look Michelin star standard mate.
I don’t proclaim for a second to be some master chef, I’m just a regular guy posting a bit of my meals for fun to the forum.
But I totally agree, my pictures don’t do justice to the culinary masterpieces I produce on a daily basis.
I’m glad you appreciate my talent.

 

[Playford7]

Hey guys.
I Hope you’re all good genuinely.
Just want to say my cooking thread is no more.

Just wanna say cheers to those whom liked it, it was never meant as a serious culinary thread or a thread the gastronomic experts would like, it was only for laughs and giggles.

I meant It for fun during lock down and nothing more, I enjoyed doing it in all honesty.

Anyhow I’ll be bowing out now guys, I wish you all the best of health and a future packed with smiles and merriment and recipes that my superb thread inspired.

Regard

But we can still talk about cheese, right?

 

[Playford7]

Ignore that nonsense last night.
Was just having a shitty day.

tonight I’m doing steak in Diane Sauce, real chippy chips and onion rings and some green stuff (salad)

basic fayre but most substantial, thought I had some decent bread but my food ghost clearly has hidden or eaten it (pretty annoyed)

Tonight I’ll be taking photos at a standard akin to David Bellamy.

Steak, chips, rings... fancy home grown green stuff.
Blackcurrent and ice as a beverage.
Must say steak was rare, bleeding like a shot German in the Second World War, cooked great.
Also got a cheesy bread roll for mopping up juices.
One thing that ruined this meal was the lack of salt, salt and pepper and seasoning I use with every meal and it’s upset a lot I’ve no salt...
Will devour this like a T. rex looking for corbyn supporters in super fast time.
All the best fellow members.
Remember #bekind
Ben ;-)

Love chips and onion rings minus the steak

Hungry Jacks in Au have yummy onion rings

This is a good reminder now that many places in Europe are starting loose restrictions. Fear of second wave? The first one has not slowed down yet.
au contraire

 

[Playford7]

Well folks! It’s been a hot one, sweating like a .... in a .... .....
can’t say that as the PC police will be at my door faster than a casino closing after a dazza g hit on bonanza!.

Just a curry, some chicken cooked in spices directly from the Punjab, rice bought in a packet from my mate uncle Ben.

Bhaji’s at a good size I’m sure we will all agree, wish my bloody onion bags where similar!

And a naan, a plain and boring naan... very much like listening to that starmer fellow the racist party now how touting there non electable nonsense.

I’ve topped said meal with genuinely home grown coriander (probably mentioned this more times than the bbc have blm)
But it’s fresh and delicious.

To drink is sadly a pint of Coke Zero (girly coke) was in a rush in Sainsbury’s and made a error. So it’ll have to do, i remembered the ice tho...

So curry, rice a naan and a few bhaji’s folks with some caffeine free, flavour free nonsense to wash it down.
( it’s dhansak btw, has lentils and a tad of lemon and pineapple in)

Depends on what recipes you use as to the sauce, my Asian mates gave me this one using both and it’s superb.

Hope the members are well and happy the lion of Downing Street is Opening pubs and the like soon!...
End the nonsense, best wishes.
Ben

The hotspots are the USA and Brazil. What do they have in common?

Don't think we can compare that to Europe or Asia. Sure, we have to be vigilant and move swiftly when a local outbreak is noticed, like in Germany right now in a couple of districts.

End the nonsense! We can have a pint on the 4th! Wooohooo

 

[sufferinsilence]

End the nonsense! We can have a pint on the 4th! Wooohooo

We can have a pint since the 8th

No.

You can (and should) have a pint everyday !!! It's a poor excuse if bars, pubs and restaurants are not open. That's just annoying. But it should not stop you having fun.
