Healthy Eating?

[melv16]

I decided to fry yesterdays left overs in pork dripping from the joint. My departed mother(the queen of lard) would be proud of me :-)

[ummmm]

As long as you enjoyed it :-)

[Islay]

I am having bubble and squeak but no fat needed - dry fry and let the juices from the veggies do their job.

[Psybbo]

Bubble and squeak without butter???

[DTCwordfan]

But it's that scotch she adds that imparts the extra juice and makes one squeak.....

[Islay]

yes

[DTCwordfan]

o Islay! sweet Islay !
Thou cooking, delighted Islay !
Why, why art thou trying
So far o'er the AB sea ?
O Islay, dear Islay !
The daylight and she is frying,
And here are we ABers longing
And longing for bubble and squeak made by thee!

O Islay ! fair Islay !
Thou dear Mama Islay !
Where my whisky spirit, awaking,
First look'd on the AB day
O Islay ! fair Islay !
That bottle of God's, she's making
Must last, till I wing to the distillery, me
Away, and away !

Dear Islay, good Islay !
Thou, our cookin' Islay !
Thy ABers are sleeping
Beneath thy crofty sod.
O Islay ! kind Islay !
Well, well be thou keeping
That dear bubble and squeaking awaiting
The yapping of your dog.

Our AB Islay ! the Sottish Gods bless thee,
Thou, Islay, the amazing butter-free kitchen
And bless thy darkened whisky tea !
And Islay, dear Islay !
Our heart's best bubbly, squeaky emotion,
For ever and ever
Shall centre in thee !

I fried-up the Xmas pudding in butter.

[Psybbo]

I bet it tasted good melv

[melv16]

It was excellent, psbs.

[tonyav]

I hope your swilling it down with some healthy ale, melv ;-)

[Psybbo]

Brandy butter, Tony

[tonyav]

It'll do I suppose.

[Baldric]

My system's in shock after a large helping of Heston Bloominghells
'Bucks Fizz Swirl' wow, talk about chocolate overload, got the rest of it to finish tomorrow, then no more choccy 'til next Christmas.
(Type 2's a b*gg*r)

[DTCwordfan]

Today I cleaned out the old AB barn
It was red now its rusted, bled.
The animals needed fed, and I fed them to maximum limit.
They are fat and big
Animals for the slaughter.
The turkeys have already been stuffed
With their stuffing
the puddings dripping too and Psybb's brandy butter.
melv is hungry as a bullfrog.

[Tilly2]

You need the pork fat as a water deterrent. Any rain, Melv?

[Buenchico]

I'm taking great care to reduce my sugar intake over the Christmas period - by only consuming products where the sugar used in their production has all been converted to alcohol ;-)

[tonyav]

Good man, Chris. Carry it though into the new year.

[melv16]

Bit early for drink for me, Tony. No rain here, Tilly, Leeds are copping it, though.

[Captain2]

Chris and Tony's idaea of a balanced diet - a beer in each hand.

[tonyav]

Bit early for drink for me, Tony.

T'is 9 oclock, melv.
