Well I have some time today so making a traditional roast with roast potatoes Yorkshire puddings and veg and we have a cheesecake for afters.
My daughter has given up on the vegetarian stage (teens what was just terrible last year is just fine now)usually I have to make a veggie alternative for her but she now has decided to eat meat occasionally so it is so much easier now with just one meal to make.

I'm a veggie by proxy, the animals eat the weeds and I eat the animals. If veggies are serious about their beliefs, why do they want their soya beans to look like a pork chop or something similar??

I love them sweet little animals, that bounce around the fields going Baaaa. They are not quite so wooly or bouncy after a couple of hours in the oven. They do slide down well with lashings of mint sauce. Some roast spuds, a few veg and they are definately my favourite animal. First roast dinner I've cooked myself for ages and I've got plenty more for the middle of the night.

Pasty wars flare after Devon wins 'Cornish pasty' prizeWednesday, April 29, 2009 A cross-county war over the naming of meat-filled pastries was reignited today - after a Devon producer won a national award for its Cornish pasty. Pasty makers in the two counties have often clashed, arguing in the past about its origins, its rightful name, where one was first made and even the ingredients. Now the row has flared up again after pie and pasty company Chunk of Devon won top prize at the British Pie Awards for their Cornish pasty. Pasty

When I lived in Exeter in 1969/71, pasties were Devonshire pasties. The ingredients and different to Cornish pasties and much better.

Living close to the Tamar Bridge, and visiting Cornwall regularly, I eat Pasties made on both sides of the river. If I was forced to choose a favourite at the point of a gun, I would say Devon made, but there's not much in it, they're equally delicious.
This link might help you folks up-country understand how seriously they take "The Pasty War" down here.

Yeah, Linda McCarney died of natural causes. She didn't have a lot of meat on her when she was alive and they must have kept her frozen for a long time. I would have rather have had a steak and kidney myself.

Just had a bit of a pastry session myself. Was given about a dozen sticks of Rhubarb so knocked up a bowl full of shortcrust pastry. In went the stewed rhubarb and that left me with about three quarters of the shortcrust (never been good with quantities). Opened the fridge and there was a couple of pounds of topside beef. Diced that up, braised and then casseroled in oven for about three hours with the usual suspects, onion etc and of course half a bottle of best bitter.
Rolled out the pastry, ladled the beef stew into a large pie dish, added a pan full of lightly sautéed (in butter) fresh mushrooms and closed with the pastry top followed by egg wash. Into oven for about 40 minutes until golden and then served with fresh veg and nice small boiled new potatoes (also with a little butter drizzled over).
That was dinner sorted....after eating, waited about thirty minutes, heated up the now finished fresh rhubarb pie, added a rather (if over large) portion of Waitrose Clotted Cream Ice cream and that was me sorted for the evening.

Cooking is like therapy to me. If I am having hassle at work or the normal annoyance of modern life start intruding I retreat to the kitchen (or my video editing suite if the weather is rubbish). What I do like is making a fresh meal from whatever is available in the fridge, sort of making it up as I go along. Not always a great success but it's good to experiment. My preference is for good food simply prepared, although I do tart stuff up every now and again just for the hell of it. I used to only cook spicy stuff but have drifted back to try and learn the more traditional dishes, the sort of stuff my Mum would have made, that probably explains my expanding waistline, there's only so many suet puddings you can have without it taking its toll.

My chicken always tastes like buffalo; so does everything else I cook, including rice pudding. Nothing wrong with buffalo.
