Ventricles, walnut steak and a star anise jus: food fit for a finals week nana. MASTERCHEF thread 6

[Halsall]

It's the final countdown.

You want to see me Pencil, if you're looking for a contrast for Honk Kong chic.

Hair like a porcupine on heat, men's pyjamas (size L) with "my goodness, my guinness" emblazoned across the front and slipper bootees with some buttons missing . . .

OH FUCK REES-MOGG

she's come back again and is talking more. and now I know her name is Arlene.

Schaden - that's permissible lounging-wear, I think you will find.

Thank you pencil - I have to admit I rarely never the house like this, whereas Arlene . . .

Watching the news is like root canal treatment at the dentist these days. Apologies for straying off topic but signing off with this brief but accurate topical summation.

And schaden I would love porcupine hair.
You know how those pedants trichologists bang on about how your hair is dead as soon as it emerges from the scalp?
Well my hair heard them and took it literally. 😡

Still really distressed that Irini unravelled like that, bless her. I hope she took solace in viewing the judges footage - 'best dish of the day' I seem to recall was one of the comments. My other resounding take away is that it is reminder that it is perfectly appropriate to eat dim sum for breakfast. Will make an effort to do that very soon. ❤️

it is perfectly appropriate to eat dim sum for breakfast

My local Chinese rstaurant does the most amazing snow white, sweet, fluffy buns stuffed with...well anything you want really... but the pork is particularly good. Instead of my monthly Just Eat treat in the evening I am going to switch and see if I can get morning delivery (maybe brunch rather than breakfast but I can live with that).

*fourquenelles” oh yum indeed. There is quite a sense of urgency 🤣

I am declaring ‘Pillowy Buns’ my pornstar name.

Will dedicate the weekend to making wonton wrappers, pork buns and a huge mess in the kitchen with disappointing results. It’s mandatory.

DP has been trying to persuade me for years that I'd love Hong Kong, has visited on business many times. I think I am now convinced, the food everywhere, street and upmarket, looks so amazing.

Irini did unravel rather a lot yesterday. She does take on SO MUCH!

what great porn star name. My porn star names* are Helena Handcart and Luna Landing

• or Drag Queen names

Just catching up on last night’s episode hopefully will be able to watch with you all tonight

if you are in front of the telly now, quickly put on BBC2 and see the wild chef judge with grey dyed shaggy hair and non-matching beard. Incredible.

His shoes are furry too Pencil

I have missed SO much Masterchef!

IS JILLY STILL IN IT?

HAS GREGG HAD A TRAGIC ACCIDENT IN A SOUS VIDE BATH YET?

Jilly is still in it. She is the best. Gregg is sadly still with us.

I took a high speed tumble while walking the dog this evening so I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I will cry if any of the ladies leave tonight.

Sit down and put your feet up Groucy a sweet tea gin will help.

Oh you poor thing. The pain of that is threefold

1. the pain of falling
2. the stress of falling whilst trying not to crush your dog
3. the indignity of falling

Ouch Grouchy, hope you are not too badly damaged a bit of fuck off Gregg will be therapeutic I’m sure

Oh my god could Greg have said that any worse

'KATTRA SAYSON'

Oooh, it's like being in La France

Phoar. I would.

I'm sure Greg lent in there for a kiss
