I went out for lunch with some friends today. We went to an American-themed place called Buddies. You know the sort of place, all sorts of crazy crap on the walls ( Read more... )

My post about British stereotypes a while ago was reasonably popular (people actually posted replies, so that counts as popular to me), so I thought that I would make another post along similar lines ( Read more... )

Friday is takeaway night and I decided on a curry. I haven't had one in ages. I fancied something different, so I'm having duck korma instead of chicken. Sure, it's expensive but who doesn't love a bit of duck? Yum. Chicken pakora and onion bhaji for starters (because I'm greedy) and keema rice. I'll let you know what I thought of the meal later.

I cooked dinner for guests tonight. Somerset chicken again. This time it was properly on my own. I didn't have anybody helping me. I chopped the onions and everything. I even managed to keep all my fingers. I'm a little bit obsessive-compulsive so I had everything prepared before hand. I learned that from whenever I cooked stuff at school and ( Read more... )

Domino's has a Two for Tuseday offer. It's basically buy one get one free. My sister and I are going to have a pizza each. I'm heaving a thin crust pizza with barbeque sauce, bacon, pepperoni, sweetcorn, and tandoori chicken. My sister is having some fancy Italian thing with salami, pepperoni and feta cheese. Whatever is left over is going to be ( Read more... )

I just cooked dinner for everybody. Well, I read the instructions from a book while my dad did the actual cooking. Somerset chicken was our chosen dish. It's basically chicken breast in a sauce containing amongst other things such as cider and cheese. It really should be grated Cheddar, hence the Somerset name, but we only had grated Edam handy. To ( Read more... )

British food doesn't have the best reputation. It isn't as well regarded as Chinese, Indian, and such. I just wanted to know what my international f-listers think. Have you ever tried any British dishes? Do you have any questions about British food? You know, stuff like 'What the hell is up with Marmite?' 'Why is British chocolate so awesome?' What ( Read more... )

Friday is takeaway night. Mum had a tiring day at work, so to save her the trouble of cooking, I ordered a takeaway for us. Curry, as per usual. Butter chicken with keema rice for me with a garlic and cheese naan. Mum had chicken salad ( Read more... )

So, that party I had earlier. Well, I say party. It was more like afternoon tea. There were sandwiches, little sausages, stuff like that.

Even though my sister wasn't able to join us, a great time was had by all. We played video games. I got pwned on Mortal Kombat. At least I was awesome on Guitar Hero, though. Iron Man for the win!

Seeing that I've got the house to myself for the weekend I decided to invite people over for dinner. I invited some guys off work and my sister too. I bought plenty of food and even made sandwiches. Ham, cheese, and cheese and marmite. Now it turns out my sister isn't coming. She's in Derby! Shit!

Oh, well. All the more food for me. Woot!
