doubt it, a whole rabbit just about fed me and Jonnie, although there was much red wine type gravy the next day to have with mash potatoes

Smear a chopped pork fillet with garlic (a touch of salt) pounded within an inch of its life and mixed with a teaspoon of olive oil. Brown. Add a tin of tomatoes and a tin of chickpeas and some West indian Hot Sauce. Cook for about twenty minutes, add a splash of lemon juice, season and then dump in the same weight of spinach as the pork fillet. When it wilts, coriander leaves and serve with crusty bread.

Numm numm numm. And very easy.

(tho' pete west indian hot sauce seems ambiguous, is it available in "most good supermarkets", I am looking forward to making that already)

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 14:39 (twenty years ago) link

A West indian Pepper Sauce can be substituted with a few flaked dried chillis, but yes - this is availible in all supermarkets I know of (by you are in Ireland so...) Tabasco would also work.

I am about to make this now. I will report back.

get a can of thai curry paste, a can of coconut milk, and whatever vegetables/meats you like. saute the paste with the coconut milk and cook with the other ingredients. voila.

whoa Pete you are on my christmas card list! That was great. I am now revelling in the glory of post spicy food beer/cigarette

christ how big are rabbits over there?

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 9 November 2003 20:52 (twenty years ago) link

obviously the reasons the flintstones weren't like 900 lbs (considering the size of their portions) is that they were on some proto-atkins shit

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 9 November 2003 20:52 (twenty years ago) link

ronan i suggest buying a $6 tub of peanut butter and several bags of celery.

after about the fourth day you barely notice the creeping insanity

apart from the emptiness of the whisky bottle and the unstoppable urge to listen to Renegade Snares (Foul Play VIP mix) that is

seriously, quitting cigarettes and hard drugs has been easier than cutting carbohydrates out of my life

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:39 (twenty years ago) link

Jess, you fucker, you've not joined the Atkins cult have you?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:47 (twenty years ago) link

i am desperate!

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:48 (twenty years ago) link

i have to fit into my prom dress

*looks sadly at shreds of black satin on floor*

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:51 (twenty years ago) link

any "diet" where you can eat fried chicken and still lose weight is alright by me!

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:52 (twenty years ago) link

though i'm fiendin for a piece of bread so bad i could chew my arm off

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:52 (twenty years ago) link

Mmm, bread.

I think I'm gonna make myself a houmous and watercress sandwich.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:56 (twenty years ago) link

haha you bastard

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 9 November 2003 21:56 (twenty years ago) link

I think fried chicken is already violating the diet jess. breading? In the beginning you've got to watch out for *all* carbs.

Atkins is wack, by that diet's logic everybody in Japan would weigh 5,000 lbs. Also Thailand, China, etc.

Ronan there's a way that people make potatos in upstate NY that's quite delicious v. plain comfort food. You skin the potatos, then boil the hell out of them in a solution that's half water, half milk, and like a full quarter-cup of salt (or more, even!). These way salty potatos will make you feel very warm and loved.

Jess however cannot eat them.

how do you figure that john? Japanese diets are very lean with lots of seafood and soy.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 9 November 2003 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

recipe for taste-sensational act of madness:

I have a package of chicken, tortellini, and sundrieds from TJ's (it's been sitting in the fridge for a week and I forgot I'd even bought it -- hope it's still good), and some leftover fresh basil. Tomorrow night I'm gonna get a couple cans of pureed tomato, throw the whole mess together, heat it up, and call it soup.

this all sounds good for being creative with my charms
