Well, that's self-explanatory, I think.

I have the Hairy Bikers diet cook book.

1. I hate cooking
2. I love the Hairy Bikers.

Conclusion. I have used it really quite a lot
Less than Delia, but nevertheless...The curry is yum.

I have the Hairy Bikers diet book too. But this one is new, and shiny.

I like shiny with lots of pictures. Preciousssss.

Get it get it get it...

I'd really prefer a chef.

GERBILS!!!!!

If you can wait a short while until the book isn't quite so new, , WOB ( World of Books) sells second hand, good condition books with free postage. Can you tell I use them a lot?

Give me your TERFy vibes - my TERF tumbler is in the kiln, just reaching max heat in the next 2 hours.

I'm praying to the Kiln Goddess - please don't shatter my tumbler.

Khnum was the Ancient Egyptian god of potting and potters.

Might be worth a murmured prayer, always supposing he can understand French or English. Unless Google Translate can do Ancient Egyptian.

Also Athene/Athena multitasked as goddess of wisdom and good counsel, war, the defence of towns, heroic endeavour, weaving, pottery and various other crafts.

Has anyone tried asking AI to create recipes? It can do, but I don't know if you'd want to eat the result... I tried asking for a peppermint hot chocolate bacon cheeseburger sushi recipe. 🤢
Peppermint Hot Chocolate Bacon Cheeseburger Sushi
A unique twist on a classic American favorite!
Ingredients:

• For the sushi rice:
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
• For the filling:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup peppermint hot chocolate powder
• For the seaweed sheets:
  • 1 package nori sheets
• For the dipping sauce:
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce Instructions:
• Cook the rice: Rinse the sushi rice until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Let cool slightly before using.
• Prepare the filling: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in bacon, cheddar cheese, onion, green pepper, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook for a few more minutes to combine.
• Add the peppermint hot chocolate: Stir in the peppermint hot chocolate powder until well combined.
• Assemble the sushi: Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo mat, shiny side down. Moisten your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small space at the top for sealing.
• Add the filling: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of the rice.
• Roll the sushi: Roll the sushi tightly, using the mat to help you. Moisten the top edge of the nori with water to seal.
• Cut and serve: Cut the sushi into bite-sized pieces. Serve with the dipping sauce. Enjoy this unique and delicious fusion dish! @Bannedontherun

Not sure how I managed to tag Banned on the end of that. Sorry Banned!

I don't like sushi.
I don't like peppermint flavouring.

Runs screaming from Magpie's recipe. ( Although i look forward to seeing you on Masterchef)

Have my terfy..vibes, when will you be..able to open the kiln? Is this..a bisque..firing?*

*also sending Florian Gadsby vibes

A potter on YouTube..with a very..distinctive way..of narrating his..films.

🙏🙏🙏 for the Great Terfy Mug of Ra.

Apparently Khnum formed a divine triad alongside the goddesses Satis and Anuket.

Is that a euphemism for a ménage à trois?

It would seem that way!

@Magpiecomplex 😂 cos you lurvvv me and i am always on your mind despite me being a veggie

Love you too BTW

So... maybe point out to @Magpiecomplex that some responsibility lies with the author of the prompt. The poor AI, being non-sentient with no tastebuds can't know that the only answer to that recipe request is 'are you on glue?'

Grrr, grrr… Should I mind that Neil Carter has just been awarded the Ladies’ Cup for Ploughing, because the main prize went to “female/woman farmer”, Ruth Archer?

Yes, I am only giving the radio part of my attention while on MN.

I may have misremembered some of the detail of The Archers, I’ll check when it’s available on Listen Again.

Is the BBC baiting us?

Is it ready yet??????!!!
Did it survive??

I still remember Nigel Pargetter falling off his roof. :(

I don't need AI recipes I just use my favourite cook book

Ooer....

It takes longer to cool down than to fire so I'll let you know tomorrow. I am quite excited about getting it out as well as the red clay breakfast set I made.
