I only have a little freezer so I had to leave them in the freezer back in Durham.
I seem to have four pigeon carcasses plus a few oddments from chicken thighs, pork chops and the like.
There also seem to be a couple of fish (one of them is a turbot IIRC) so we'll see how I feel as to the stock I make.
I've also got to do a shop for things like pasta, risotto rice, tinned toms, fruit, cereal etc.
If the weather's good I might go further afield and see what culinary delights I can source.

Goodness, it's The Shadows. That takes me back. But Hank Marvin was usually on the right wasn't he? |

Anyone got any good food plans for the weekend?
Tonight it's Roast Chicken with a Couscous, Chestnut and Rosemary Stuffing. I may think of something / investigate the cupboards for something a bit more zingy to add. Tommo |

Tommo, all you really need to do to that delicious-sounding dish is make sure there's a big fat whole lemon stuck up there too, if there's room.  |

Beat me to it, Martle! Don't forget to inflict multiple fork stabbings on the lemon, Tommo. Delish!

Mort, your advice seems like a good opportunity to remind Members of this:  |

Gosh.
Tonight's repast is going to be a fillet of salmon which I've just put in a marinade of lime juice, oil, seasoning and a splash of soy, accompanied by stir-fried greens with noodles.
I got quite excited thinking about that.

Passage of the afternoon, from "Pollution Beliefs in Highland New Guinea" by Hage and Harary. Menstruation is described as 'bad cooking,' and menstrual blood, as 'care-
lessly given food' (an empirical confirmation of Levi-Strauss's (1967) intuition
of menstruation as a form of 'infracuisine'). It has a bad odour and is dangerous
and polluting to men, causing sickness and death.
"Hageners say that men can absorb menstrual blood through the penis as well as by the mouth
[together with food]. Blood ingested over a period of time would gradually rise up in the victim's
ribcage in two columns which meet at his neck: this is the danger point; some sudden exertion
easily snaps the columns and he dies. A nose-bleed at death is symptomatic of pollution (M.
Strathern 1972: 167)."

I love fennel, raw in salads or cooked, but I've never had fennel soup. Must try that.
FENNEL SOUP50g butter 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 2 heads of fennel, finely sliced 900ml chicken or vegetable stock Finely grated rind of half an orange salt and pepper (I personally don't use salt) Melt butter, cook the onion and garlic without colouring, add fennel, cover and cook for 30 mins. Add stock and orange rind, cover and simmer for about 30 mins, then puree and season. What makes this recipe work is the orange rind - it really adds something. You can add cream but it really doesn't need it - it has quite a rich flavour as it is. |

Many, many thanks for that, PW. Just want to double check - do you really cook the onion, garlic and fennel for 30 mins before adding stock? Hard to avoid burning, I'd have thought?

Ouch! If only the brain and the fingers worked at the same speed .... It should be 10 minutes. Thanks for pointing this out. |
