Nice advice Nigella

[Rollem]

i do not lie

i have two ovens

a main oven

and a smaller top oven (which is also a grill,dependant on which way you turn the switch on)



i is a friend of nigella

<smug and snoggable>

 

[Relahni]

she is snoggable i'll give her that.

you don't have two ovens Rollem. you lie.

She's into fat Tories isn't she? Or is she the daughter?

I didn't think we had two ovens either? Unless she's counting the microwave?

 

[foo]

she means the grill Relahni

@ your wife.

 

[Rollem]

shows how much you know about our cooker relahni

i do not mean the grill - well, i do, but its a dual grill / oven

dimwit Relahni

she's Nigel Lawson's daughter hun.

the clue is in (both) her names.

I find Nigella completely unwatchable due to her affectations and horrendous smugness. She may be too middle class even for me to stomach.

But still, I do have one of these (give or take model changes since we got it 6 years ago):

And it is indeed very useful at Christmas.

 

[foo]

i knew you were an aga type of man kabbes.

 

[dodgepot]

she's married to a tory. i don't know if he's fat, though. i don't really care.

her wittering on about putting semolina on your potatoes before putting them in to roast didn't sit well with me.

I do my potatoes like that, it really does work. And that sprouts dish she does it fucking lush.

e2a and I've got an oven a bit like kabbes' (but mine's shitter)

 

[kabbes]

i knew you were an aga type of man kabbes.

Well that is a Rangemaster. But we do have a Rayburn too. Hey, we have no gas supply, so we need to heat the house somehow!

 

[foo]

i'm not surprised dodgers!

what foolishness is that??

ugh, semolina'd roasties.

err

semolina on your potatoes.

I bet Tory boy loves that though.

hmm.

i'm still not sold. but yes the sprouts did look quite nice.

i love sprouts.

 

[fen_boy]

It's really good, honest.

e2a though you could probably get the same effect with flour.

 

[Rollem]

no way would i put sembolina on my potatoes. (although it does work apparently )

sprouts? what did she do with the sprouts?

 

[foo]

Well that is a Rangemaster. But we do have a Rayburn too. Hey, we have no gas supply, so we need to heat the house somehow!

see i'm that un-posh i don't even know the difference between a Rayburn, a Rangemaster (that's a car surely... ) and an Aga.

show me the way kabbes.

 

[foo]

sprouts? what did she do with the sprouts?

heh, i could show her a trick or two with sprouts

edit: actually, scrap that. i reckon Nigella wouldn't need showing...she's got that look.

in fact, i bet it's her after dinner party trick.

<ping!>

 

[kabbes]

A Rangemaster is just a cooker, albeit an extended one.

A Rayburn is a type of Aga, not sure of the difference there. But the point is that Rayburns and Agas function as your boiler as well as a cooker, heating the water in your house. Our Rayburn is so old (converted to oil from solid fuel!) that I wouldn't even use it as a cooker. But without it, we'd be pretty damned cold at home at the moment.

highly respectable and elegant but with an underlying current of sheer filth?

 

[foo]

totally.

 

[tarannau]

It's Trevorina I think, or perhaps Tarquinella.

 

[dodgepot]

davea.

 

[foo]

craigisha.

 

[fen_boy]

or milesy perhaps.

 

[foo]

'cookery' 'nigella lawson' and 'norks'

(is this a new function?)

 

[dodgepot]

yes, it's new

 

[miss minnie]

I gave up on her the very first time I watched one of her xmas progs years ago.

It was "late on xmas eve" and she was preparing a massive piece of pork for roasting "the next day". She was rubbing the pork with some sort of mixture, patting it, kneading it... basically she had raw pork germs all over her hands. She then used these unwashed hands to roll up the sleeves of her expensive white silk-satin robe.

"The next morning" she came down to the kitchen (probably for the first cocktail of the day, 7am or something) wearing the same robe and started preparing the xmas breakfast. I know it was all pretend-cooking, but all I could think of was the raw pork and germs on her robe.

I was so put off by her that I didn't watch it again until the other night.

I was going to make that ginger chutney but I don't have a dishwasher to sterilise the jars. I didn't realise that we only starting preserving after the dishwasher was invented.
