Nice idea, will give that whirl sometime. Caz, your's sounds lovely, sometimes wish I had a deep fat fryer, but I've got too many gadgets as it is, no space to keep one and I always think it'd be a hassle to clean!

Tonight Matthew, I shall be making falafels.

Chop up potatoes like chunky chips (with skin on for extra flavour), toss them in some olive oil with salt n pepper and throw in oven on a baking tray for 45 minutes or so until golden. Much healthier than chips and more tasty I reckon. No need to buy bags of oven chips either. Waste of time.

Anybody know what food I've got at home and what I can make with it?

One carrot that's a bit bendy, an onion, a packet of instant noodles and an oxo cube.

I have many oxo cubes, but no instant noodles, in turned out.

Hehe I was close then :-p

Sort of. I failed to mention I have many many onions, but all my carrots are frozen with swede.

Falafels were a disaster. Tasted delicious, but they were far too dry. Don't believe Ainsley Harriott, they have to be deep fried and can't be baked.

Go with your instinct. Iceland says fry their fish but it goes rubbery and horrid. I bake it in foil and it comes out lush.

Don't listen to Ainsley - bah!

I do my falafels in a pan with oil they usually turn out ok

I had midly spicy bolognese yesterday but couldn't eat it. I'm not ready to go to India!

Yeah, they probably don't have to be deep fried, but definitely some sort of frying would be in order.



At least with chilli you do get used to it, keep up the training!

Last night we had home made Singapore noodles. Almost blew my head off (3 chillies TUT Darren) but I scoffed the lot. Enough for dinner tonight too. My boyfriend is getting pretty good at this cooking lark now. Got to have some benefits for him being out of work

Home made lamb burgers for dinner tonight
