FFS - Delia........and her "easy" spag bol............

[FAQ]

by the time you've brought the water to boiling and coooked the pasta you could have cooked proper stuff!

I don't think she is going gently into pensionerhood enid, that's for sure

I am wondering if she will be in a Father Jack sort of state by the end of the last episode... "arse, feck, spam"

Lindsey bareham The Fish Store is a really good recipe book (although I didnt bother with the half that talked about the house )

She also uses Dolmio white sauce for lasagne and Eazy friend onions though (onions = good in some things, Dolmio = ming, and dh spotted it)

I must have blanked that bit out in denial

The Fish Store suits me as it is kind of written from the viewpoint of someone slightly rushed who often has to cater for friends coming down to the country to relax (cue Enid running around like hamster in wheel)

"I'd sooner eat my own vomit than tuck into tinned mince though."

That's in next week's programme, Marina.

I thought that Sister Wendy was dead ..

hahaha, I hated those boring bits about her everyday life, lunching with the snobby boring Nun and Delia in Church saying how she belongs to that lovely community, did you notice she was the youngest one there!?

And then tell us how to boil pasta and add a ready made sauce!!! hahahahahaha, quite incredible, just watched it for a laugh as I got hooked last week on watching her stick her arm up her freezer to reach for frozen mash, yuk!!

tinned mince?? Please tell me it's not true!

oh c'mon Soren
surely delia would only use vomit if it came pre-frozen in little blocks...

soupy you must watch it is car crash tv of the highest order

[shudder]

No way!

I love and totally agree with this comment about Delia on the guardian blog:

"I don't know what depresses me more: that Delia has turned back the clock about 30 years into a 1970s quagmire of wilful ignorance about the importance of good, fresh food, newly influencing millions into a hypnotic stupor of crap cooking, or that her book and TV show have generated a tedious debate about social class and whether fussy foodies are patronising "hard-working people". Let's get this straight. Delia's cheating is not cooking, it's shoving cretinous imbecility into the kitchen and damning the food chain, our health, and the painstakingly achieved improvement in awareness of the last decade. Furthermore it clearly tastes shite (see lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/food/story/0,,2265292,00.html). Secondly, this class thing is infuriating! There's ignorance and there's knowledge, and in this country, you're free to pursuse one or the other. The shelves are heaving with interesting books, the Internet is bursting with ideas, and even on TV there are good programmes as well as bad ones. You can choose whether to learn about good food and why it's important, and everyone, without exception, has exactly the same 24 hours in the day. You can choose whether cooking is pleasurable and important to you, or you can make yourself a perfectly good bacon (British, please: www.pigsareworthit.com/) sarnie. But this Delia thing is repugnant: morally repugnant, gastronomically repugnant, quite possibly more expensive, and quite possibly more time-consuming, and totally pointless. Bollocks to Delia. Get down and slice a fresh onion and see the difference for yourself."

she's gone doolally

Dolmio white sauce....she didn't did she?
SoupDreggon...I have spend all morning trying to think of my easter name and came up with nothing...well done, I like it.
Also, I'm newbie-ish and didn't know there already was a dragon around...i can change mine if you like.[dragon grovel]

Bravo to that Blogger!! I agree 100 per cent.

"didn't know there already was a dragon around"
[hurt]
[crushed]

[sigh]

There are a couple of other dragons actually. Idris and Dragonhart I think. I used to be the only one...

oh yes there's Idris the Dragon isn't there?

That's who she meant, not some dreggy Dreggon

At least my name doesn't mean small and insignificant...
[superior]

sorry, i offended twiglett in the exact same way. how does 'TheEliteEgoCrusher' sound?
Problem is i changed to dragonbutter then started a really great thread about identity crisis so don't really want to change as people won't know it's me despite not really liking my name.
oh, it's such a worry i tell you.

hmmmmm

nah - I'm far too modest

i like dragonbutter, it's a great name. no-one's going to get you and soupy mixed up, i'm sure. plus your joke further down about fucking tv chefs made me snort.

is that dragonbutter in the sense of a yellow spread made from dragon's milk

or

like headbutter, i.e. someone who butts dragons?

any fule kno that dragon's milk is blue, iota.

truthfully, it's kind of sweet reason i have came up with this name. my wedding had dragonflies and butterflies as a theme.

but i like the idea of butting dragons.
