Been on a bit of a cheese lick myself this week. Get some nice feta, put a bit of honey on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds, then grill it, and serve on sliced tomatoes and basil dressed with olive oil and finely sliced chillies. Also which may be my new favourite, get a soft goats cheese, roll it in walnut oil, then in breadcrumbs and blitzed walnuts. Bake in a hot oven for about 20mins and serve on rocket, watercress and baked beetroot dressed with walnut oil and lemon juice. Very very nice.

You, you're a lot taller in real life than on the telli

[Dolly]

You should have said hello mate
You could even have bought me that bottle of wine

Ever tried baking Camembert in a puff pastry package?  To be served with homemade red onion marmalade.  Delicious.

Tonight we've kicked off with a bot of vintage fizz as Mrs Sloper has good work news and will be moving on to

cod cheeks and scallops with roasted tomato dressed with a tarragon beurre blanc and a good 2004 burgundy

wild duck with caramalised shallots and crushed artichoke with herbs, a 2002 Margaux

Pear tarts with a spiced custard.

Digestif who knows?

Hopefully I can have a pint and watch the first half of the wales game during bath time.

No-one's posted on this thread for a bit  - can't believe its less popular than all that guff about training in the UKB power thread.
Anyway... I know its a classic well known dish but on Tuesday night did Parmigiana. Here's my take on it
Slice 3 aubergines and roast in oven in loads of olive oil.
Meanwhile make tomato sauce by frying 2 large cloves of garlic in more oil until they're nearly burning then cob in 3 tins of toms with a splash of red wine and reduce for ages until its thick and creamy.
When the aubs and sauce are done just put alternate layers of aubergine, sauce and taleggio cheese starting with aubergines. back in the oven for another 10 minutes to let the cheese brown and then gorge yourself on more melted cheesiness.

oh yeah the climbing bit
Went to Almscliff on Saturday and climbed until my fingers uncurled
Trained on the board Monday and last night.
No idea what I weigh but not too stressed about it

[Dolly]

Would I be able to buy some trout off you please Lagers ?  - I mean the next time you catch some and have any spare. I wouldn't know how to fillet it and all that stuff tho'

[GraemeA]

Last week consisted of eating lots of fruit and simply fried fish with rice and chilli - seems to be the staple diet on Bali. Not forgetting stacks of airline/airport shit and as much red wine as I could get from the stewardesses - which was quite a lot

With the trout try stuffing it with a mixture of honey, soy sauce, avocado and pistachio.

Would I be able to buy some trout off you please Lagers ?

With the amount of time and effort I put in it would be daft to sell them. I'll give you some though. I'll PM you.

Tonight, with the wife (that's Mrs Lagers) out having fun, I thought I'd treat myself to something I've been meaning to do for ages - a nice club sandwich. 3 slices of toasted white bread; roast chicken, mayo and mature cheddar on the bottom layer; bacon, letuce and tomato on the top layer. Pinned with cocktail sticks and cut into triangles.
