wonder what bread i should make first. anyone who's got a breadmaker got any recommendations?

Get the wholgrain packet mix - comes with yest etc. Cannot FAIL.
Add variations of flaked chillis (or finely sliced real chillis), honey instead of sugar, sunflower seeds, cayanne pepper etc. Just experiment. Best fun on weekends.

i had a breadmaker, got v excited...

made lots of bread and ended up throwing most of it out...as it has no preservatives you need to be in a house that consumes a loaf a day!
otherwise it works real well in place of a brick through your enemies windows!

im currently eating a ricotta, mushroom, bacon and spinach calzone and its fucking GOOD.

I know a fucking good dessert.

Fried Boost

1 x Boost Bar (with Nuts)
4 Tbl Flour
Water til batter is thick and good
Vanilla Bean (or powder, or essence)
Cinnamon powder

Mix ingredients together and roll the Boost bar in it. Deep fry it in a mix of oil and butter. Listen to your aorta hardening as you eat this in heaven

I'm still sweating

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 10:29 am

Retreat Hotel in Brunny.
He had the Vegan Pasta of the day - was awesome, olives, spinach, tomatoes and eggplant.
She had Nachos - too much for one person.
Why is there always one bar staffer wearing a silly hat when ever I go there?

went to Thalia Thai on Lygon last night

was alright, best Tom Yum hands down, but i still think Warrick or Krua kill it hands down, far too few a choices on the Thalia menu.. way to few...

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:58 am

mmm...warwick is yummy, but the service is FARKING SLOOOOOW. Went there once and waiting nearly half an hour for menus and another hour for teh food. was packed, but still. i seem to remember a friend telling me they saw roaches crawling aroudn there once too.
they have good satays there for memory though.
mmm. thai is bestest.

Charlie73 · Post by **Charlie73** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:10 pm
