Zoo Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 It's quickly becoming my favourite dish to be honest. Had it tonight seeing as all of the in-laws are from Porto, it was so good that once I'd finished mine I had a little sneaky extra which is rare given how filling it is. Hope you all like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 fuckin love paella! So do I! Mine was pretty good but not up to what I've had in Spain (needs a few tweaks for next time)....Madrid Airport during a flight delay was the best ever .

Fearthainn Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) So went to watch the Porto match and for a Francesinha at this place in Liverpool. The Francesinhas were quite good (although they will always taste better in Porto!). And there was some Super Bock as well The match, not so good. Hadn't seen such a poor Porto performance in quite a while. The place was full with Portuguese people as well, didn't realise there were that many of us here . The result kind of ruined the mood for everyone except the Benfica fans! Edited March 13, 2013 by Fearthainn Zoo and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 As I mentioned earlier it was a Vindaloo for me tonight (whilst playing Assassins Creed) and it was one of the hotter ones that I've had. I don't mind saying that after just halfway my whole face was dripping with sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you get on with your chicken GR, home made Shephards Pie for me tonight! They didnt go too well Zoo I did them a few weeks a go and the spring onions and chillies burnt really quickly, but funny enough the taste wasnt too bad when i threw the chicken in. This time i was very cautious with the onion and chillies so kept a good eye on them, dont know whether i didnt cook them enough or added too much sugar (I know strange, but thats what the instructions said! ) because it was no were near as nice this time and what taste there was, was minimal. Just tasted like chicken in the end tbh going to have to re-think my strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Made chicken & mushrooms in red wine today in the slow cooker....was superb! Slow cooker is quite a new toy but it's brilliant....stick a few bits in and leave it for four hours and the texture of the meat is superb, melts in your mouth. Only done chicken and beef so far, going to try lamb next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only done chicken and beef so far, going to try lamb next. My parents have had a slow cooker for a few years now and say its one of the best things they ever bought! So much so that Mrs. Zoo has been given one too! I don't think they've ever tried using red wine with it though, I'll have to give that a mention.

MikeO Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Broccoli and cauli are the devil's food, unless raw, in which case I love them. Whoever it was that decided it'd be a good idea to cook them needs to be roasting in hell....unless they actually wanted their kitchen to smell of baby sick.
