Not Bloke Cooking.

[den]

I'm sorry. I have to hand in my Bloke Cooking Badge after tonight's effort. I used boneless chicken, and- and Fennel! And- I don't know how to say it... Cous Cous! I'm so sorry.

I cut the chicken into largish lumps, dipped them in milk and dumped them into a floury mix of plain flour, black pepper, salt and a seasoning that contained paprika, pepper, garlic, and onion. When the lumps were well caked up and baked them in dish with a little extra-virgin olive oil, in the oven at 200C for 40 minutes, until they were golden brown.

Then I made the cous-cous, and threw in some diced onion, red peppers and fennel and fried it up in a in a pan.

This is not bloke cooking. I have failed.

Sigh that should be the food porn community, whose name which I seem incapable of writing correctly for LJ.

Good GOD man! Did you at least have beer with it?

(On the other hand, that sounds pretty good. How did it turn out? atara and I concluded recently that we need more cous-cous in our diet.)

Of course I had beer with it. It was a limited run Strong Ale from the Malt Shovel Brewery. mmmm 7% alcohol.

For this, you are now required to cook me a meal should I ever stray into Oz.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Yes miss.

You say it koooos koooos.

And it's still Bloke Cooking. Anything you can purchase in multi-packs at a Membership Warehouse Store counts as a valid ingredient for Bloke Cooking.

Your "Y" chromosome is safe, lad.

Oh, and Dave Lister of Red Dwarf eats cous cous. It goes with curry. And that automatically qualifies it.

[hedgegoth.livejournal.com]

ah, but does he cook it himself or does it come prepackaged?

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Oh. that's ok then.

[micheinnz.livejournal.com]

It may not be bloke cooking but it sounds pretty bloody good.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

It was very yummy.

[ly2me.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely second that.

Fennel? COOL!

Congratulations on your failure!

Good thing you're not easily accessible, or I'd invite myself over for dinner:D.

Life isn't all Yiwarra plums and Wijute grubs anyhow.
