What was that comment about Brighton earlier again?

Thanks Guys

We just like to cook, and it's always nice to share with friends!

Something we made this week. Quiche out of a cupcake tin, and sweet, marinated onions on puff pastry (hope that's translated correctly?)

Martin, how did you marinate the onions? They look great.

Cheese is my favourite cheese!

I was in Minnesota and Wisconsin this summer visiting family, and we had several variations (believe it or not) of cheese curds (curd byproduct of young cheddar cheese made locally). All delicious. I'll post some pics when I get home.

Made 2 loaves of cranberry bread today. Using up extra Thanksgiving food.

I didn't bother taking pictures as the dish always comes out looking like roadkill. I call it splodge. I gradually evolved it when I was very poor and living somewhere where good cheap meat simply wasn't available and so I shifted my attention to getting a real complex depth of flavour out of the cheaper end of the vegetable spectrum.

The stew I make of leeks, shallots, red onions, red pepper and celery, all thoroughly (and separately) browned and then added to passata. Here's how I do the spices:

• in a dry and not especially hot pan gently brown cumin seeds, coriander seeds, caraway seeds, fennel seeds and black peppercorns
• pop them in a spice grinder with some dried flaked red chilli pepper
• to the resultant mixture add ground ginger, paprika and a tiny bit of smoked paprika
• add cinnamon, bay leaves and cardamon pods to the dish

Have it on the side of sausages or anything grilled or baked with a good crust.

I might have asked you this before, but what is a pasty? James May used to talk about them all the time. At first I thought it was a kind of sandwich, then he said something about an orange pasty, so I thought it might be a dessert. I'm just not sure.

the origin of the pasty goes back to mediaeval times , so probably best to check the sell buy date if you find one !
