Having opened a beer, I will collect and mix -

Big heap of cheapest minced beef
About one third as much spiced sausage meat
Lashings of chopped onion, celery, tomato and peas
One quarter of 10% of a small baby carrot (diced and pureed)
A whisked egg, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce

I'll shape it nicely, wrap it in Alfoil and fry it softly for 15 minutes each side, opening a new beer each turn.

Served with mountains of mashed spud, gravy, and perhaps a beer.

(PS If cooking for CHeads, you may want to cut back on the carrot.)

Well, my meal didn't turn out like I wanted it to, but I have decided that I think I'll like eggplant and will be purchasing another to throw under the broiler after oiling and seasoning it. I think it'll be good then!

I've never made it, but I've heard that the key to making eggplant is to slice it, salt it, and press all the excess moisture out for like two hours before you cook it.

No, it wasn't soggy, but I should have peeled it beforehand and purchased a much larger size. Also, on one recipe it recommended broiling it first with some olive oil, salt & pepper, which probably would have made it more tasty and not as bland.

Feel Better Beth - I hope you're having it taken care of?

Foraging in the frig is on the menu tonight. I have an early meeting, Brew's got errands and God knows when the kid gets home. There's plenty of leftovers from Easter and the giant chicken I roasted on Saturday - no one will starve.

Hard to tell until I chisel out the freezer, chisel out the micro-wave, duct tape the door shut, change a fuse or two, and pull the batteries out of the smoke alarm. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to
