Dinner of the Day.

[version]

Do you just sit in the corner doing drugs whilst various people defile your table then?

 

[version]

It was the table in my parents' house when I was growing up. Probably older than me and pretty sturdy... but no way should Br***a and M*** have desecrated it in that way, nor should Br***a and L**** for that matter. Though it's pretty clear who the main culprit is now I read that sentence back.

Brenda.

 

[IdleRich]

I was in bed or otherwise not present on both occasions.

 

[IdleRich]

Brenda.

Not Brenda... but... I've said too much.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Did the table-defilers confess the details of their transgressions, or was there, uh, forensic evidence? 🕵️‍♂️

 

[IdleRich]

I think Alex or Eleanor told me originally although I believe that the details were substantially confirmed by the participants over the following few months.

 

[Leo]

yet somehow, you maintain an appetite while sitting at said table.

 

[IdleRich]

Well since then I have taken it to Oxfordshire, stripped it down and painted it and varnished it together with my Dad as a kind of bonding project - really badly though, it started peeling off about three days later. Read into that what you will.
Anyway, steaks look good right?

 

[Leo]

the spread looks great, you guys know how to do it.

 

[IdleRich]

I did nothing. Just set the table and fought off the cats.

 

[Leo]

the collective "you", then.

 

[IdleRich]

the spread looks great, you guys know how to do it.

The table has seen many spreads.

 

[woops]

no way should Br***a and M*** have desecrated it in that way, nor should Br***a and L**** for that matter. Though it's pretty clear who the main culprit is now I read that sentence back.

[Mr. Tea]

Broke with tradition last night and casseroled some chicken thighs with, uh, let's see: smoked bacon, smoked garlic, ceps, onions, leeks, sweet red peppers, smoked paprika, white wine and stock for the sauce, cream and squirt of lemon to finish. Bit less overwhelmingly rich and heavy than the sausage one.

Steaks tonight, sous vide then 30 seconds a side in the pan, as usual.

 

[version]

Broke with tradition last night and casseroled...

SUCK IT

 

[version]

I wasn't responding to your spelling.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I wasn't responding to your spelling.

I thought you were objecting to the use of 'casserole' as a verb!

 

[version]

I was responding to your claim you'd broken with tradition by making a casserole!

 

[IdleRich]

Got a whole duck from the supermarket the other day, gonna eat a big fucking load of it now. Behind the counter in the supermarket deli they had a whole goat totally skinned, looks like some kind of devil creature trying to fight its way out through the glass and back into the aisles.
