    Love those mussles! What is the dip?

    The dip was 1tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, a squirt of spiced tomato ketchup.
    Usually I have fries with mussels, but I didn't have time and I had already had some this week, hence the bread. But it was nice too. :)

    Your pizzas look amazing Degs. How do you make your pizza base, it looks right up my street? And which cheese and tomato base do you use?

    I had 3 slices out of that lot. The rest went to the other guys :)


    Because I was making a big batch I used the recipe on the back of the tin.


    Allison's Easy Bake Yeast
    Allison's Very Strong Bread Flour
    salt, sugar, olive oil, tepid water.

    500g flour, 2tsp yeast, 1tsp sugar, 1tsp salt, olive oil.

    x2. Got 4 large bases out of that (one was wasted because had no space to cook it :D)


    I also cheated and bought a jar or ASDA rustico? pasata. They do a smooth one and a bitty one.

    The cheese on the pepperoni was grated mozerella. The cheese on the veggie was mozerella & cheddar mix, the same on the chicken tikka but also with added tikka masala cheddar.

    Looks great ! Is it a manual pasta machine ? I have one but it has rusted somewhat, so I bought an electric one a year ago. Still unpacked :o I also think it doesn't make pasta sheets, like for lasagne or ravioli :cry: , but it does make the dough for the pasta.

    Our dinner tonight was ribs of lamb with couscous, salad of French beans with a mustard dressing and I made a little yoghurt/garlic sauce.

    I took 2 kg of ribs out of the freezer as I was expecting my brother and his family to turn up (which they do most Sundays). They didn't, so I slow roasted the ribs with a lot of spices and the I took them of the bone.
    They are now cooling down and will go back into the freezer for filling kebabs at a later date.

    Looks lovely Chatte, least you get to eat the rest yourself lol. :D

    It's a manual pasta machine and a bit of a nightmare to use lol My worktops are too thick for the clamp so I have to hold it down with one arm and turn the rollers with the other haha

    I also hung my fresh spaghetti on clothes hangers all over the kitchen :)

    Haha, I had the same problem with mine, but I moved it to the dining room table :o making sure there was something between the clamp and the table for it not to be ruined.

    You could also appoint a volunteer (like the OH) to hold the machine while you turn and turn and turn the rollers.:D

    Always fancied getting a pasta machine, but never got round to it, so homemade pasta is one thing I've never done:(

    I may have posted something very like this in the past but can't remember. We haven't had a roast for a couple of months so today I cooked a roast beef lunch.

    Thank you. It's fillet. We have a very good local butcher and, whilst it's not cheap, it's only a tiny bit dearer than Tesco but so much better!

    Tikka masala cheddar exists?! where can I buy this genius fusion? :D

    Never had lamb ribs and spotted them for the first time in Morrisons the other day.
    Do you treat them similar to pork ribs then?

    I guess. I made a dry rub (cumin, coriander, powdered ginger, cinnamon, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, turmeric, salt)
    Then put it in a preheated oven (160°C) covered with tinfoil until tender (1h 30m approx), before putting them under the grill to crisp up.
    They where very tender.

    I've been making them for yonks though as it is one of the cuts that are relatively cheap here in Belgium. Any other part of lamb is rediculously expensive.

    I believe in the UK and Ireland they often get sold as one piece and is known under the name of 'breast of lamb'

    Well done.
    Must say I am surprised. If I were to eat the type of food you have every day I would gain 12lbs in a week.:D

    Just been shopping and picked up a pack of individual ribs.
    They have 3 types.
    Rolled breast of lamb (boneless)
    Breast of lamb (or rack of ribs)
    Lamb ribs (individual ribs off the bone)

    Will cook them up on wednesday night when the boys come round to watch the footy.
