The Larder

[Sue]

Exactly, Jeremy.

Keep it simple and tasty, that's my motto.

Edited to add: Oh maybe add a jar of Madras curry paste, to stir into the beans as a change from the Lean and Perrins :)

Fry the curry paste with onions... add beans and simmer until they go gooey. Hmmm...

[Brendan]

Taramosalata

[Brendan]

Now in strawberry.

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh yeah

How about having a dried "Komodo Dragon" hanging about ( as you do ) just in case you fancy a folkie improv drum olong to this kinda thing http://www.codamusic.co.uk/mp3/44074_000100010002.mp3 using the stiff card hangers salvaged from your dry cleaning

A few IKEA catalogues in a Celtic Triquetra and some improv dancing should go down well

Hmmm yeahhh

W**F

[Brendan]

[woofmarkthedog]

I think you can get the sugar from the Franklins deli shop....they have great things in there and are very helpful. The monin syrups I brought from India so not much help lol....but Waitrose stock these things I believe. Not sure where locally though..

On the sourdough note...tried making it 3 times before I moved house but kept on forgetting to 'feed' the starter mix..

PS. Vacuum-packed chestnuts

PPS. Matzo-meal (fine and the other type)

I don't have a larder but my childhood memories were a dish of cold mince with the white layer of fat on top which my dad would put in a sandwich (!) the frying pan with a layer of lard, ready for re-use but with a set of mouse footprints running across it.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Quite alot of Parsley Sauce mixes.

[Roll Deep]

Is the larder the 'new' Aga?

[Sue]

No

Dearest Roll

The Aga is old, so the new Aga is the old Aga however,

Technically though "The Larder" is a non-electrified item, a storage vessel really

Whereas, an AGA gets food hot

Know what I mean ?

W**F

[Roll Deep]

Dearest Dog

Forgive my inexcusable lack of required insight concerning the transitional regeneration of old iron into new fad. I was merely hoping to draw a parrallel with the 'larder/Aga' scenario, so as to highlight the escalation - in price as well as trend - of 19th century designs and their function, in todays east dulwich. Such as the old steam kettle I saw on sale for ?80 on Lordship lane which before Laura Ashley said so, was a fiver down the nearest boot-fare. It just seems that the people of east dulwich are once again displaying a little too much haste in trying too hard, again. Although not all.

Technically you're right. A Larder is a non electrified item. But technically these days the only purpose they serve is another trophy cabinet of so-called 'unused items'.

Know what I mean?

[Sue]

No

[Roll Deep]

Then read again.

[Sue]

Why?

Edited to add: Can't be arsed basically, too bloody complicated. And pretentious.

Or maybe I've had too much Stella.

Who knows. Who cares.

[Roll Deep]

You've probably indulged in one too many warm Stella's Sue, but you're right, it was very pretentious. The sort of thing you'd expect from someone who has an Aga, I imagine.

[Sue]

They were straight out of the fridge :))

:)-D

Might get another one actually. Drown my sorrows as a non Aga owner.

[Roll Deep]

Fridge? Surely you mean 'Ice house'.

[Sue]

No

Oh, the forum won't let me post this as "the exact same message has already been posted before."

Eh?
