instead i did poached pears with ice cream :)
yes.. its yummy.. its basically the easiest dessert in the whole wide world..
just take pears. i mean.. conference pears would b lovely..
skin em, and cut them into two.
then cut the middle part, u know.. where the seeds r.
soak it in red wine.. any red wine will do.. for none alcoholics, grape juice!! M&S red grape juice is seriously juicy :)
and then just add cinnamon stick.
put it aside for like.. 10 15 minutes, to let it soak all the juices and spice. i added pepper, god knoes y, but i did.to give it a lil bit of an edge
then, put the mixture on the stove, let it simmer gently.
make sure all parts of the pears is covered, turn em every 10 minutes to let it 'cook' evenly.
after about 10 20 minutes, @ when the pears r soft, take em down
reduce the sauce (add sugar)
then, SERVE!!!
basically its just, cut, marinade, cook, serve!! how quick can u do that. i improvised the ROUX recipe to get this.. i mean.. all the fancy pansy chefs use million dollars worth of wine and spices, heck, y do that when u can do it all under 2 quid? :)
heres a picture of the so called masterpiece. taken before amma dig into it. mind u she tooookkk ALLLL of the sauce (greedy piggy).i dunno, summat about fruit juice with another fruit and vanilla ice cream that cheers her up :) well.. cheers ALL of us up heh?
please ignore the magazine underneath the dish :) btw, that duck-ky looking man printed on is actually a women hahahahahahaha..
anyway, on a lighter note, SKINS is brilliant. i know it was over More4 earlier this year but i couldn't watch it often coz i was busy with college and stuff. now that is on channel 4, and channel 4+1, ive been addicted to it. iam telling u, its brilliant, well.. its written (@ produced@ directed iam not sure) by the same person who did shameless. MAGIC!! :) its shameless, but with kids.
it revolves around the lives of a group of friends in bristol.members of the groups are
- tony (the groups popular guy) the actor who plays tony is nicholas hoult. u know.. the kid who acted in the movie about a boy with hugh grant, yep, he's a grown up now
- Sid (the virgin of the group) its funny how everyone in the group is tryin to help him lose his virginity hahahahahahah.. its hilarious
- michelle (tonys gf.) she is tony's gf, but Sid is like.. inlove with her basically..
- cassie anorexic and suicidal chix who is inlove with sid (see where this is alll going?)
- chris party loving guy, who is inlove with his teacher.. hahahahaha.. i like this guy. he is funny.. just the way he acts, his manners.. tickles the funny bone
- maxxie the gay one in the group. Loves to tap dance, and is tryin to encourage the boys in the group to learn about his way of life..
- Jal she is the... sensible one i guess.. musically talented..
- anwar a muslim boy who is in a dilemma..he knoes that his lifestyle and faith do not mix well.. but he tries too.. one of the episode shows him praying after a nite of partyin. he was prayin at the backgarden, then ran when the owner of the house came in.. hahahahaha.. its all a lit bit crazy...
i mean.. its entertainment.. every episode focus on one person.but the others still come into the picture.. thats how u start to learn about em individually.. its funny as hell.. and it makes me itch for shameless to be baaccckkk!!
shameless.. now, that is a classic!!
iam off to bed now i guess.. its gonna b 1am, cant sleep, but got to.. iam off to work at the crack of dawn . aaaahhhh..adult life.. how wonderful.. NOT :)
iam embracing it.. iam..TOTALLY.. sigh
