...Oh, is the water sweet and cool, <br />
Gentle and brown, above the pool? <br />
And laughs the immortal river still <br />
Under the mill, under the mill?<br />
Say, is there Beauty yet to find? <br />
And Certainty? and Quiet kind? <br />
Deep meadows yet, for to forget <br />
The lies, and truths, and pain?… oh! yet <br />
Stands the Church clock at ten to three? <br />
And is there honey still for tea?”

So this is my first ever entry to <a href="http://choclogblog.blogspot.co.uk/p/we-should-cocoa.html">We should Cocoa</a> run by <a href="http://choclogblog.blogspot.co.uk/">Chocolate Log Blog</a> and <a href="http://thechocolatepot.blogspot.co.uk/">Chocolate Teapot</a> and hosted this month by Laura of <a href="http://www.howtocookgoodfood.co.uk/">How to cook good food</a>. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1wus0tK433MPxeMImLd-_87dWMwhRPIBEnazy7Zgij-D9LfobzuWG2-NYikZOjMD71xpildwiVqsxzrXukXd7_vPW0kFYbzTDHz9USiegBVuXnqmQQyrIX6rX8BNSoR6JlxbMsnu6b94/s1600/IMG_0127.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1wus0tK433MPxeMImLd-_87dWMwhRPIBEnazy7Zgij-D9LfobzuWG2-NYikZOjMD71xpildwiVqsxzrXukXd7_vPW0kFYbzTDHz9USiegBVuXnqmQQyrIX6rX8BNSoR6JlxbMsnu6b94/s320/IMG_0127.JPG" width="239" /></a>It's exam term here and everyone is very involved in their own worlds. Study plans, revision breaks and odd working hours mean that I've not really had chance to see all my girl mates, and Cake Fridays have been put on hold. However, today has been a bit murky and I couldn't concentrate so I thought it was time to warm up the oven.<br />
<br />
So after inviting the girls to a 4 o'clock tea break I decided cookies would be the perfect - warm and comforting, but quick enough to munch with a mug of tea before heading back to the library. I was thinking a bit about how at the moment we are all so focused on the end game and can't wait to relax in about 3 week's time that not only do we forget to give time to the things that make us happy but we forget that there are so many other people in the world having an unimaginably harder time than we are.<br />
<br />
This recipe then is inspired by a want to do something (even something really tiny) that may benefit someone else (so as well as cookies for my hard-working library buddies) I decided to go Fairtrade. I thought it was fitting to go with the <a href="http://choclogblog.blogspot.co.uk/p/we-should-cocoa.html">We should Cocoa</a> challenge, and I remembered to add this month's key ingredient of almonds. <br />

Another recipe from Plenty - Aubergine & Saffron Yoghurt Salad with Pomegranate. This is literally gorgeous, and really healthy! It's meant to be sprinkled with pine nuts and basil leaves too, but Co-Op weren't living up to their name. <br />

I love Pomegranate seeds - they went in the fizzy too. There's a classical myth that Persephone, trapped in the underworld by Hades (won't go into detail why) ate 4 pomegranate seeds. Now anyone who eats in the underworld must remain there, but Persephone was a lucky girl and rescued by Hermes, and only had to spend 4 months of every year there to atone for the 4 seeds she has eaten. 4 months in hell? Sounds like Cambridge exam term, so even if we are in Hades, for March - June, I'm gonna eat as many pomegranates as I can! <br />

Topped up on potassium, sleep and fluids, after the Day of Hangover (DOH) -when fried goods and cake is on the cards- something a with a few more minerals is required.<br />
<br />
This sticky rice dish is full of fresh flavours, the sweetness of the peppers, the kick of the chorizo, and the meatiness of the prawns. <br />
<br />
<br />
Again, it's a no effort, throw it all in approach, all in <a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/11640/spanish-rice-and-prawn-onepot">onepot</a>. Lots of vegetables: <br />
- <u>Tomatoes</u>: A couple of extras thrown in with the required tin (with lovely Vitamin C, Vit A and antioxidants)<br />
-<u> Courgettes</u>: not on the recipe, but an added bonus! (Potassium, Vit A, Manganese )<br />
- <u>Peppers</u>: I used 3 red ones (9 x more Carotine don't ya know! and 3 x the Vit C of your average orange) <br />
- and I threw in a load of<u> red chilli</u> (All the good'uns: Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Vit A, B & C) and a good dose of humble <u>garlic </u>(lowers cholesterol, keeps colds away and is an aphrodisiac!) <br />
<br />

I had it with some naan bread, but it doesn't really need it. In fact it doesn't really need the prawns- you could get rid of them and the chorizo and just use aubergine. Or just double the chorizo. I'd defiantly add the extra chilli/ paprika though.<br />

Some would say too much fun. Monday wasn't. What's a girl to do when lying in bed makes you seasick? Apparently hangovers require potassium, so after popping a few paracetamol and gulping down some more water a banana seemed like a good option. Apparently not, mine were over ripe. Not good.<br />
<br />
But when life gives you over-ripe bananas (and you've run out of butter), make <a href="http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/chocolate-banana-muffins-5158">Chocolate Banana Muffins</a>. I love Nigella.<br />
<br />
It's so easy when hungover. Everything in a bowl and zazz.<br />

This literally made my day. I'm not gonna say its better than a fry up for a hangover. It just isn't. But when it hits 4pm, you're on a sugar low and you need something quick, and appetizing, these muffins are your fellas. Oh yeah, and the potassium. <br />

Not bad for you either...<br />
<br />
<br />
It's really easy- just a bit of prep then throw it all together!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2007/jul/14/foodanddrink.recipes">recipe</a> is from Ottolenghi's <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plenty-Yotam-Ottolenghi/dp/0091933684">Plenty </a><br />
and available online.<br />

1. Dissolve sugar & salt in white wine vinegar over gentle heat (I used soy sauce first time and that was also lovely!) then chuck in chopped garlic, sesame oil and chilli, then when it's cooled add lime juice & zest. Dressing done.<br />

2. Dice aubergines and dry fry (or with a little spray oil) until golden and put in mixing bowl and salt. Add diced mango, sliced red onion,basil & coriander. Chuck in the cooled dressing. <br />

4. Chuck in a bowl, give it a stir and serve sprinkled with remaining herby-bits.<br />
Enjoy with a glass of white. Did consider putting king prawns in but the aubergine is so meaty it really doesn't need this. Also perfect cold for a veggie lunch!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10123618058331863089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012456263266393526.post-55736695427144010322012-05-05T02:26:00.000-07:002012-05-05T02:26:02.446-07:00Week 2Not much this week!<br />

- Cook of vegetables (roasted tomatoes, dry-fried peppers, broccoli & peas are chucked into pasta 2mins before it is done, grilled some mushrooms, steamed asparagus)<br />
- Mixed up cheese sauce mix (I know TERRIBLE)<br />
- Cooked off chicken with red onions, garlic, dash of lemon, sprinkle of paprika, wholegrain mustard, and my fave 'Goes with Everything' salt & herb mix.<br />
- Chuck all into a dish, sprinkle on breadcrumbs and a few dollops of Philadelphia, oven for 15 mins.<br />
- Glass of wine & done.<br />

Last bit I really remember!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10123618058331863089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012456263266393526.post-518490684377608112012-04-16T05:00:00.000-07:002012-04-16T05:00:09.628-07:00Cocktails at Mine (Prep)Over the weekend I had a few friends over for a relaxed cocktails and food session. Since I was cooking for 20+ and was not planning in being in a fit state to cook at 7 after a 2pm start I planned everything in advance.<br />
<br />
The plan was to do lots of little canapes throughout the day to balance people's alcohol levels and then just hearty burgers with tomatoes and chutney, a simple salad, and wedges in the evening. Then lemon tart, white chocolate and berry tart and a chocolate cake for dessert.<br />
<br />
The burgers follow Jamie Oliver's recipe for Botham Burgers, but added more seeds and spices than it recommends, and the recipe makes way more than he suggests.<br />

My saviors at the moment:<br />
<br />
1. Cold beef sandwich, sticky red onion chutney, crisp salad and a slither of mayo. Always on white toasted bread. Heaven. <br />

2. Chilli Prawn Pasta (with fresh peas which pop in your mouth, tangy lemon and perfumed coriander)<br />
<br />
So so easy . . <br />
Pan 1: Boil pasta, 5 mins before it is done add peas.<br />
Pan 2: Fry off finely chopped garlic and chilli, add a squeeze of lemon and seasoning. When cooked add cherry tomatoes chopped in half. 5 mins before the pasta is done add prawns and more lemon.<br />
Serve and top with coriander<br />

Usually this takes place in the garden, with glorious sunshine, 20 'kids' and nearly melted chocolate. This year the numbers were a bit depleted, the 'kids' are all growing up, and the weather was awful, so we relocated inside. The food however was glorious, and the eggs for the hunt weighed up to a massive pile!<br />

Currently Googling recipes to use up leftover chocolate. I've got 20 for dinner and cocktails on Friday, and guess what's for dessert.

Little did I know that they'd all given up chocolate for Lent (and how could I forget that veggies and marshmallows don't mix!) so with good intentions, but perhaps not quite the desired impact I made some Easter biscuits and my auntie's lovely Rocky Road.<br />

Biscuits placed on a greased tray (spot the leggy egg) and baked for 12-15mins (less than the recipe states)<br />

<br />
For the topping I melted some white chocolate, stirred in some icing sugar and the lemon juice until it was the right texture to swirl onto the cooled biscuits. <br />

The biscuits were nice and crunchy, next time I'd make them a bit thicker. The icing was a bit too tart, I'd maybe just use white chocolate, or reduce the lemon juice significantly. <br />

Rocky Road</h2>
This is literally the best recipe I have found for Rocky Road. It is very editable (cherries are more prominent at Christmas, ginger biscuits for a tea-party and white chocolate chunks for a birthday).<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Prepare a lined tin- a brownie tin works best- anything bigger than an inch. I find lining it with greaseproof paper works the best.<br />
2. Melt 300g of the chocolate with the golden syrup and butter until all melted.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLdetVZJV8oY93VgcyAmxQ-5AwVduHGAZ7uyxJObuBITmV2re44ppcjShhcyuXsoEzdjjVsCiYPzHBTD3nT_MUyzhUhjiyOjeOfqL9VStcCfzIgHlXFld5hK97YbevLcK8jUt8bwkBGA0/s1600/P4030162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLdetVZJV8oY93VgcyAmxQ-5AwVduHGAZ7uyxJObuBITmV2re44ppcjShhcyuXsoEzdjjVsCiYPzHBTD3nT_MUyzhUhjiyOjeOfqL9VStcCfzIgHlXFld5hK97YbevLcK8jUt8bwkBGA0/s320/P4030162.JPG" width="320" /></a>3. Prepare the filling: Using a rolling pin bash up the biscuits, chop up the marshmallows and the cherries and the chocolate, and any other ingredients you want to add in. <br />
Add all the filling to the melted chocolate mix and stir well. You need quite a lot of biscuit but it shouldn’t ball up. <br />
<br />
<br />
4. Pour into lined tins and refrigerate for 1 ½ hours, or overnight. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
5. Melt the other 100g of chocolate and pour over refrigerated mixture. (When it has set swirl over the white chocolate).<br />

Pigs are made from light and fluffy vanilla cupcakes (no extras, just good and old fashioned), with butter cream and rose-water frosting and a little pink coloring. <br />
<br />
Nose and ears are marshmallows, with chocolate writing-icing decoration, and eyes are coated chocolate drops. Personalities and names optional.<br />
<br />

Couple of big jumpery items to the back of the wardrobe ready for winter (or maybe not given the last few day's weather!)<br />
<br />
Some absolute bargains...<br />

<br />
<h2>
<u>Stewart Lee</u></h2>
Whilst Lee wasn't really to my taste the mother was rolling in the aisles. In fairness some bits were quite funny (his Michael McIntyre mime really tickled me) but I found his constant 'meta-comdey' a little tedious, and, whilst trying to throw the crowd I guess works in smaller settings it seemed to ring a little too true with some attendees in such a large venue. That said there were parts when a nearly united room snorted as one. <br />
<br />
Perhaps the issue was that the constant self-referral to being a 'nobody' (and therefore having no material due to a life of Scooby-Doo with a 4 year-old son and driving between gigs) jarred with the fact that a) if he has nothing better to do than watch TV with his child what excuse does he have for a lack of material and b) he is a sell-out comedian touring over 150 dates a year (and his own website shows just how popular he is)<i> 'If you want
to interpret this as “he couldn’t be arsed to write a new show
this year”, despite the fact that I have obviously been touring this
most nights of the year to meet the demand and to stop other people complaining
that I never play in their town when in fact I have probably already been
there dozens of times, that is up to you' s</i>howing that his 'lack' of material must be getting him somewhere.<br />
<br />
In actual fact he did have material, some dragged out, some very snappy- it was coherence that was lacking. His own reference to this lack of structure and his attempt to create it again relates back to the repetitive motif of meta-theater. I wish he wasn't constantly telling me how he was trying to be funny. Enough deconstruction. I want a comedian to give me a Coleridge- suspension (and I know this would be contrary to observational comedy). I don't even mind working hard for the laugh, I just don't want to constantly be reminded that I'm uncomfortably wedged between a man with bad breath and a laughing mother, feeling slightly tipsy having downed a large wine in the brief interval. I just want a giggle. <br />
<br />
Pointing out your flaws as a comedian (lack of material), and constantly referring to your techniques (joke deconstruction) is either brave or stupid, if indeed they are actually your flaws. I felt a bit cheated by Lee that his highlighted flaws were actually talents- what he would call a 'classic switcharoo' . I'd love to see him again in a small gig, but I don't think he was quite up to the symphony hall.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<u>The Young Runaways </u> </h2>
The performance was followed by a slightly nervous looking duo in the bar afterwards. Matt and Lucy from the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/youngrunaways/music">Young Runaways</a> however turned out to be an absolute delight. It was a shame that more of the audience didn't stay to see them, but then again beginning with Stealers Wheel, 'Stuck in the middle with you', though apt post comedy, didn't really show off Matt's vocal talent.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Their cheering friends however upped the tempo and when the couple got on to their own songs their enjoyment and talent shone through! Their newest release 'Closer' is quietly upbeat-and the gently hedonistic 'what were we waiting for, we needed no excuse' made me happily reminiscent of my indie-loving 14 year-old self.<br />
<br />

The later covers- an acoustic version of The Rolling Stone's Jumpin' Jack Flash and Paulo Nutini's Pencil full of led, were much improved. They both obviously then felt more comfortable with the crowd, even involving us with drumming and introduction to one song, and actually smiling! The smiles and seeing them actually enjoying it, and the humble thanks for the applause, made them a genuine pleasure to watch and I hope to see more of them soon! <br />

From there we kept it simple with <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Keeping-Simple-Gary-Rhodes/dp/0718146212">Gary</a>'s treacle duck breasts with creamy date parsnips.<br />

The duck is simply seasoned and cooked fat-side down on a roasting tray on top of the stove, left to rest, then basted in a treacle sauce and sizzled under the grill, served medium-rare.<br />

We had the whole thing accompanied by mom's quick dauphinoise and some crunchy purple sprouting broccoli.<br />
