Yes, Mort. It's this cold that's still dragging on - makes me feel pretty indifferent to food.  I can sympathise - utterly miserable evening and I'm suffering from a distinct inertia when it comes to veering towards the kitchen. Had parents here all weekend and been making a cup of tea approx. 143 times a day, plus meals. There's a tuna steak in the fridge that needs to be eaten this evening but quite honestly I just can't be arsed.... Is that bad of me?  Well of course it is....  |

Know what you mean, Martle. The post-cold 'food droop' when you just can't be asked. I always end up resorting to bananas because they're easy |

Well I've just popped some veg into boiling water to go with the tuna (the steamer feels like too much effort this evening for some reason.) Sweet potato. (Mmmm sweet potato....) Mmmmm  |

A lot of the time when I've just come out of a cold, it would just be lovely for someone to cook for me. And something comforting and filling rather than nutritious and tasty. I'm having chicken tonight too, as it happens. But I'm more a breast man than a thigh guy
I go for thighs every time! Even in a recipe that asks for breast, I will quite often substitute thighs. Hope that the kiev is sufficiently garlicky to repel your cold. The potato effort is very tasty, but I wish I'd added some flour or something to give it more of a shape. Still. NOM. |

I'm a thigh girl. I don't really understand why people turn their nose up at them. They've far more flavour than breast, they're juicy, they don't collapse with long cooking and, most importantly, fab to nibble on the bone. NOM indeed! |

Quite right, Mort! I love 'em too, don't get me wrong. I wish you could stuff 'em with butter and garlic and parsley, though... Talking of carniverous devouring, what are people's takes on marrowbone? I have a friend who will always order osobucco in 'proper' Italian restaurants, and will sit at the table not only gnawing bones, but sucking out the marrow. I kind of like it, but it gets a bit, um, 'real'... |

I've never tried it, but can't you? You'd have a bit of effort making sure it didn't leak out but I would have thought it was possible with a judiciously placed cocktail stick (and possibly some bacon to cover any holes?). I may have to give it a try at some point. Talking of carniverous devouring, what are people's takes on marrowbone?

I've never eaten marrowbone, which makes me quite sad. Ever since I read that story about Loki's goats I've fancied it. Not sure I'd tuck in when in a restaurant though. Not until I'd done it at home first. |

I'm a thigh girl. I don't really understand why people turn their nose up at them. Oh Dear, what would Father Bernadette think of the turn this MB has taken? Thighs or breasts? Good Lord. I may have the vapours. My Mother's funeral was "canned" music, which she had chosen, and also a wicker coffin and NO ministers of religion, just family conducting it, as she instructed, so we had Bryn Tefel (Coming Home) and Charlotte Church (Pie Jesu) and The Celtic Tenors (Danny Boy) and, bringing the coffin in, Roy Orbison Pretty Woman. |

Indeed, it appears to have excited you to such an extent that you're replying to the Waffle thread on the Burning thread! |
