I just thought I'd point out that you have misspelt the title of this thread. It should read "The Food Thread".

I realise that in the heat of battle it is easy to transpose the e and h.

Just as an aside .......................apart from cooking the beetroot dauphinoise last night I cooked sea bass - in the past I've either pan fried it (difficult when it's a whole fish) or cooked it in the oven. Last night I poached it in some fish stock, white wine and a squeeze of lemon. It certainly looked delicious (i don't really eat much fish) - it was quick and simple and Mr Woo loved it!

No, it was meant to be Teh foody thread

Though I realise in the heat of battle it is easy to stick your beak in a thread with nothing to actually add to it...thanks though eh

If I didn't know it before, I do now. You've never been able to spell 'the'.  

While we are talking food, I'm going to bake a cake tomorrow to take to my daughter's place on Sunday. It's an upside down apple cake with homemade chocolate mousse in the middle and a chocolate covering.

That sounds positively lovely - chocolate and apples a real good combo IMO.

Ohhhh, I have loads of apples to use up, and this sounds divine. Do you have a recipe cologne?

Did anyone watch that baking mad program this week? He did a lovely looking cake...

We have just recently eaten poached, fresh, duck eggs on toast! Gyps is working a bit later so it is dirty chips from the chippy on the menu tonight!!

I've discovered something fool proove. Get your kitchen scales and break 3 eggs into them. Whatever the weight of the eggs, match with self raising flour, butter and sugar. Bit of grease proove in the bottom of the tin, brown sugar and two layers of apples, plus the mix on top. Once cool, slice in half, spread your chocolate mousse, melt a big bar of proper chocolate with some butter and cover cake.

I know, I thought all the cool kids knew that!!

Roxan, that's horrible. Are you ok?

Ohhhh, thanks - I shall have a go at this

Burns aren't funny   

Sounded like a tasty dish though   

Not bad at all Roxan  

And I hope things are picking up with you 

Are you managing to catch any of this CBB nonsense on the net?

Yeah... no live feed and a poor cast.

Is it a celeb version over there Rox or the normal one? The last one I watched of US was a normal one about six years ago and I loved it.

Enjoy your lunch and don't become a four star general
