I'm trying a new recipe...something I just got in my head, now, some of you might think it's a little weird.
It's lambs heart, stuffed.
If you're one of those people that aren't into organs, that's understandable - though I will say in my experience, the heart being a muscle it's more like meat in texture than organs/offal.

So, I haven't done this yet...I'm still working out a few kinks...
This is part of an email talking to a friend, I'll alter anything that doesn't make sense:

"Got the lambs hearts...revised my recipe a tad...
Gonna cut some of the middle out of them to make space for stuffing, put in the marinated artichoke hearts, some bocconcini, oregano and thyme from the garden, yellow capsicum and some zucchini inside with perhaps just a few bread crumbs, so essentially it's going to have the italian roasted veggies theme going on...then wooden-skewer 'em shut, throw 'em into a pre-heated oven relatively high heat while I make the sauce, I MAY sit them in some canned tomato and occasionally baste them with that...not certain on that factor yet though.
The sauce I'm going to make by cooking up the inner heart meat on a frypan with some actual butter, to base it on blood so to speak...Then adding a little veg stock, some roasted garlic I did on the foreman grill, some fresh rosemary we stole from tims neighbour, and the red wine (just a cheap merlot) and gradually letting that reduce.
Towards the last 5 minutes I'll be adding some CHERRIES *which was a kind of cool decision anna and I came to while shopping*
Gonna sit them on some sliced cream/leek/chive potato and celeriac mash, the sauce over the top of the hearts.
I'm not really sure how it's gonna turn out...I'm only going on bits and pieces I know about and my personal taste and my knowledge thus far, but it sounds nice and yeah hope it goes well."

So yeah just thought I'd share something a little different with you guys,
and once again bring my favourite thread to the front page for a while.

Last thing I ate, frozen cheese pizza with added pineapples and canadian bacon.

So good.

So you prefer it cold?

My bad should have specified, started frozen but was thrown in the oven.

But cold pizza ain't bad, uncooked frozen pizza probably is

Nah, I knew...I was just trying to be annoying
Cold pizza though, I think is one of the best breakfasts you can have.

Gotcha sometimes I can't read sarcasm when reading.
Cold pizza is one hell of a breakfast for sure

You'd better like anchovies...you'd better like 'em real good...

My favourite pizza is a thin crust extra sauce pepperoni, olive, pineapple and anchovy, with a little garlic and some chilli flakes.

One time, my friend told me to order a vegitarian pizza...I was so f'n trashed at the time, but I didn't think I was doing anything wrong, and when it came it had like no cheese on it at all.."there's something wrong with this...it's not cooked right!"
I realised what I'd done as he was calling them up all pissed off, and started laughing, I think he made me grate some cheese over it...

This other time I was in the city and some ?mormons?...those "come to our church, it'll be a really cool time" guys, came up and tried to talk my ear off, and it struck me that I would be nice to 'em, tell them I was coming along, but give the same friends name and number. When they called him I'd actually forgotten it, (I used to be waaaay more stoner like) but of course had a hard time not cracking up...really hard time...he was on with conspiracy theories that he'd been spied on or identity theft etc, I couldn't stop laughing at him.

This was, my story.

Had a bowl of Apple Jacks for the first time in years..... Weren't as good as I remember them being.

Costco Pizza.. 2Ltr. Dew... heavenly.

Browned up some chicken.
Simmered it a while in some tomatoes, olives, capsicum, red wine.

Having a cup of hot chocolate right now

This, is what I want now.

Had a variation of this today.
Quite delicious....I like korean.

ooo does look kinda good.I like Asian food also

Yeah, it's quite good, very fresh - I had mine out but it's a pretty simple dish if one is so inclined to make it.
Fuckers forgot my free miso soup though...that was a bit annoying...

I ate like four olives. :P And soon/now I'm going to doctor some ramen.

A chocolate coated Anzac biscuit, we made plenty.
Also ate a shortbread, and sampled the chocolate/vanilla pastry cremes we cooked up for later use.
So much sugar...

I drank half a bottle of port that I am soaking fruit in to make my christmas pudding with. I also made a pumpkin,eggplant and tofu curry, but I haven't eaten that yetbut I tried it and it does damn good.......

I reckon pumpkin compliments tofu pretty well, and has almost the prefect dispersal ratio for a curry...

Yeah, the pumpkin adds to the sauce quite well, sri lankan pumpkin curry is really nice if you haven't tried it.

Lately we have done a fair few baked goods in lieu of more materialistic "Christmas gifts" to our friends.
We made, and I've recently eaten:

Chewy chocolate cookies with white/dark chocolate chips.
Anzac biscuits with chocolate hairstripes
Anzac biscuits, no chocolate
Vanilla shortbread
Honey Jumbles (like gingerbread with a few more spices)
Vanilla cupcakes with pastry creme
Sultana raisin vanilla cupcakes
Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate pastry creme

Lots of sugar...ech...but nice.

Today (well, "christmas" day) we hit up a local bakery VERY early in the morning and got
*A croissant
*A cheese/bacon soft roll
*A chicken and vegetable pie (which was not so great)
and a coffee.
*Some long soft bread rolls.

For lunch we had a cheese and kumato roll each.

For dinner, the remainder of the fresh bread, some chilli tuna, spicy sardines, cucumber, houmos, tzatziki, water crackers, sliced ginger, avocado with lemon, smoked salmon, and kumato. Probably a few items I forgot there, but yeah that kind of thing, very nice/not heavy, refreshing and awesome.

Hot chocolate now.

- B.

Double chocolate firecracker.

I have found that I quite like something...
Have you ever toasted some bread for a sandwich, and then say wrapped the sandwich up for the next day and put it in the fridge?
When you eat it, it tastes like toast, just chewier instead of crunchy.
Having had to take in my lunch a few times during this security course thing
(22 hours just done over this weekend...yech), I've discovered that I quite like this...although I've had it before, I'd never really realised - and of course this will be completely spoiled if it gets made damp by certain ingredients like tomato, lettuce, beetroot (though these things could be taken seperately and added later if one were so inclinec)...but yeah, very nice, if you make a toasted cheese etc one night, and eat it the day after, at least I think so.

I had one of those today for lunch which was nice, minced lamb cooked like a hamburger, with oregano, rosemary, cumin, salt, and lime juice. Had that with some cheese and tomato paste in there.
Good shit.

Also had a pluot for breakfast, and some lamb pasta, and some chocolate along with a cup of tea when I got home.

Cruskits and black coffee

Grill Cheese and soup

..about four bar-b-q'd ribsfor lunch, and right now im almost finished with a mickey's forty ounce.

Tea, Chocolate.
Coffee earlier.
Leftover lamb pasta with a grilled cheese this morning.
Dinner...probably gonna make some dough, and throw together some tuna flatbreads.

Chocolate covered raisins.

Can u give me a recipe for this?

Yeah, all good.

Honey Jumbles:

60 grams of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup golden syrup (honey instead or as well just maintain overall quantity)
Cook those for 10 minutes on low heat so they bond etc, in a pot.
Put the mixture in a bowl to cool a little.

Stir in 1 egg

Sift: 2 1/2 cups plain flour, 1/2 cup self raising flour, 1/2 tsp bi-carb, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp clove powder, 2 tsp ginger powder and/or ground ginger, 1tsp mixed spice - or just equivalent quantities of mace, cinnamon, nutmeg.

Stir that into your mixture so far.
Knead it all until it's no longer "sticky" that much.
I'd refrigerate after covering it up...probably more than an hour, overnight would be great as the spices will develope into it a bit better)

Make your shapes however you like onto a lightly greased tray.
Cook in a preheated oven at 175-180 (that's celcius) for 12-15 minutes, just keep an eye on them.

They're pretty good on their own, a little like gingerbread with a few changes.

You can make up an icing from a beaten egg white, 1 1/2 cups of icing sugar mixed in with 2 tsp plain flour. Some lemon juice and vanilla essence for flavour, cab sprinkle some cocoa or cinnamon on top too.


Tonight, I made my own flatbread again, having some tuna and sardines on there, see what else is left in the cupboard haha, day before payday here. Maybe a can 'o baked beans.

Cheers.............................

Sweet Tea and some Chex Mix

A diet coke, a turkey sandwich, and some awesome chips.

A can of Dr Pepper and a Snickers bar. That was in the early hours...fueled me through my Predator Marathon.

banana, muffin, coffee

The flesh of clarice, coz young girls are the best to eat!!! - Necro

A Mediterranean mini pizza, calamari, crab cake, gourmet blue cheese slider, mushrooms sauteed in red wine. A Glenlivet French oak 15 year single malt and a blueberry stout from Darkhorse Brewery. Oh, and a Coke.

Drinkin' some juice...mandarin, orange, passionfruit, lemon.

I'll do this tonight as I'm planning on getting fucked up...
We're doing a bit of a bbq night, on the coal-powered mini-webber we have, there will be a LOT of drinks.

I bought a HUUUUGE rump steak for myself and the girl, which has been slightly scored. I threw some liquid smoke over it, salt, pepper. Set to be served charred, between rare and medium rare...gaaah, can't fucking WAIT for that one.
Shitload of onions pre-cut and ready to grill with those.

We also butterflied some quails - which I've been marinating in a mixture of lemon juice, brown sugar, bit of white vinegar, salt, pepper, fresh ginger, wholegrain mustard, a couple of very hot thin birdseye chillis, some garlic and onion paste I made up, just a little apple juice and some sherry since last night...when we're done cooking the steaks and the coals have died down a little, we'll throw those on, and I'll be making a basting mixture from some spicy peanut sauce and the remainder of the marinade.

I've made some flatbread too which I've partially cooked...we'll be throwing those on to serve with the quail.

Other than...I bought some candy called "redskins" which is probably not called that in the states, I'd assume, ha. It's like super chewy hard rasberry taffy, good drunk food. Gonna get just, so crazy crazy crazy wasted...I hope I don't throw up all the goodness.
