I usually "sweat" all my soup veg in olive oil first anyway...are you saying that I need to add some more olive oil whilst soup is simmering away?

I sweat them too ( no nastiness being said here really). I do add a little olive oil when simmering si senora M, to give it some extra goodness.

I'd love to know what you mean by that. What is the link between the two? If the thread has become tedious for you I can understand, but it doesn't mean it is for others(though this one isn't my cup of tea). It is the Lounge after all. The Drawing room is there for more serious debate.


Anyway as I'm here, my contribution:


How to Burn Toast


Insert one or two slices of bread into a toaster


Turn the temperature up to max


Wait until smoke rises from the toaster/or toast pops up


Remove burnt toast and scrape to taste

Love it Declan...but don't go away...please


Do I presume you are Irish? If so, do you have an authentic recipe for colcannon please...you know, something which your mum would have made as opposed to a Delia (no disrespect to Delia) recipe please?

I think all kids do...my mum (French) used to make all these exotic French dishes which we didn't appreciate at the time, but bottom line was we too always preferred egg and chips...or sod the eggs...just chips. Ah, mum's chips...nothing like them.


Erm...being half Irish, don't suppose you have an authentic recipe for colcannon? And what is coddle? Actually, I'll go and google coddle.

Here it is: http://www.scotlandforvisitors.com/recipes/irishcoddle.php. Looks easy enough (take note brum);-).

      Oh Rachel....

      Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgk40l8jm7o   Absolutely. It's a disaster. And for this government, who were happy to tell us they had 14 years to prepare to lead, it has been one self-inflicted disaster after another since they took over. To be honest the signs were there when they were in opposition but I think we all gave them the benefit of the doubt as they weren't the Tories and now they have the reigns the additional scrutiny that brings is tripping them up.

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      By NiteRyder · Posted

      I don't think I've ever seen it used other than for gluing advertising on it. It's definitely not a priority but these things typically get ignored and become part of the furniture (so to speak).  There is a beautiful old red box near Upland Rd. I miss old red boxes... 😞 Anyway I'll have a dig around and see if anything can be done.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Sue · Posted

      £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.

      The Dean's Sermon, Southwark Cathedral - "God, I thank you that I am not like other people"

      By IlonaM · Posted

      No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
