Mmm, raclette... I went to a raclette party here the other week, thrown by someone I used to work with in Paris, who has his own raclette lamp. Yum. But can't eat too much of it.
Yes, what is Hill Station Salad? Does it need to go in the Crepey Recipe Book? We make something that the DDs call Chumbawumba Salad, which is a variation of Cachumber salad: red peppers, cucumber, chillies, fennel seeds, avocado, onion and mango.
I am tired of cooking when I don't have time. I am even more tired of hearing "there is nothing in the house to eat". A quick sort through of the freezer this morning told me that we have: salmon, chicken, nice sausages, fish fingers, mince, chicken livers, peas, green beans, butternut squash, ice cream, mushrooms, sweetcorn, garlic, ginger and garlic cubes, Thai spice mix. The fridge has naice ham, salami, bacon, eggs, cheese, myriad jars, more chicken, more mince, beef, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, parsnips, broccoli... and of course there are hundreds of tins, pasta and rice. There is plenty to eat - it's just that a little consideration and effort needs to be applied, not just grab packet and apply to face.
