OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today? II

[Pigmy Pony]

Neither did I - I just copied and pasted what Barry had done - and I hereby award Barry the Geek of The Day award!

Again? Isn't it time it went to someone else? Only kidding Barry, I always learn something from your posts, and I consider myself almost unteachable

Wow - we have only just started a new food thread and already AoS's (in)famous thread drift has taken effect!

First Alex's recipe is identical to how I make a C³, save he makes the chilli sauce, whereas I cheat by using powdered chilli mix. I do have some 'Lazy Garlic' in the fridge, so if I buy some Lazy Chilli I'll have a go at making the sauce myself.

There's a good reason why chilli and curry taste better the next day; AJSki2fly did explain why, but I have forgotten what he said. When I make a chilli I always make a bucket-full, so I am quite familiar with the 'better next day effect'.

If you want to do a superfix (or a suffix), then go to Advance texting and choose the appropriate soft key in the bar above: "x²" or "x₂" and write the number between the brackets. Thus C³.

I hope that's not the same bucket you put in the bathroom when the toilet's out of action Barry.

No - it's the bucket I use when washing the car!

Home made pizza night tonight, I went with mushrooms, red onion, olives with Gorgonzola and pine nuts. Very tasty if I do say so myself.

Looks great Alex. Do you make the pizza base yourself?

[Alex_UK]

It's Alex, not Roy, but no worries! Yes, make the dough in a bread maker and then roll out with a rolling pin. Never worked out how to do the twirly thing where you see someone fling the dough into a circle, and in fact when I saw chefs making pizza in Rome, they didn't do it like that either, but with a rolling pin.

[Barry]

Oops, sorry! Put it down to age.

Do you use a special dough mix for the pizza in your bread maker? Don't tell me, you make the dough mix from scratch.

[Alex_UK]

Yes, from scratch - pretty easy, strong white flour, sugar, salt, yeast, sunflower oil and water, in various quantities. [emoji846]

Next you will be telling me you have your own windmill to grind the flour, extract sugar from the beet you grow, insist on using Maldon salt (which has a different crystal shape from sea salt), and grow your own sunflowers for their oil.

Don't worry - I'm just very envious of you culinary skills. Respect!
