Chili Con Carne (Chili with Meat) - Beef mince fried in an inch of oil and served with a delicious sauce (Morrisons own brand). Served on a bed of over-saturated rice to the soundtrack of Vogon Poetess complaining about her life.

I will be having left over chicken and parsnip based dishes. I would also be pleased to hear of any parsnip recipies readers can reccomend....Last night I texted my housemate to ask him to grab 'a couple' of parsnips on his way home. He got 12. Huge ones.

Marlboro 100s do = hardcore, but they're just too fucking long. Someone brought me some duty free ones back last year and I had to keep stubbing them out three quarters of the way down. The guilt at wasting such vast amounts of tobacco left me in a state whereby I had to cry myself to sleep each night.

Back on the housing topic, my housemate (of parsnip fame) has a room which is the length of a bed, and less than the width of a double bed. With a clothes rail across it. It definitely used to be a wardrobe. He also gets people climbing up the front of the house and in his window when they forget their keys.
This is a valuable lesson in not going to view a house when you have been at a party all night and not slept.

But they're good for you.
quote:Nutritionally, parsnips are low in calories, about 130 for a whole one 9" in length, and contain no saturated fat or cholesterol. That same 9" parsnip can boast a 6.4 grams of fiber, 93.1 mcg of folic acid (that's nothing to sneeze at), 59.2 mg of calcium, and 46.4 mg of potassium, and lesser amounts of vitamins B1, B2, B3, vitamin C, iron, and zinc.

I haven't cooked anything tasty and fulfilling in ages. It just feels like a massive effort because when I do cook, no-one eats it, so I have to eat the same meal five times a week. Cook chicken on Sunday? Monday: chicken stew Tuesday: chicken soup Wednesday: food has gone off.

Tonight I'm going to eat the original flavours of Findus Crispy Pancakes which I recently bought from a vintage foods collector. As far as I remember, they were a great deal tastier than the flavours which currently grace our shelves. Apparently they're still in the original box and have been frozen since purchase in the 1980s. Some would say that they should be kept in the box as a collectors item, rather than opened, cooked and eaten, but where's the fun in that?
BTW: Keep an eye out for *Findus Flips, pancake fans!
quote: Bizarrely tasty combination of soft, sweet pancakes with a hot savoury filling. Ironically, they're very much like Nestle Pretzel Flipz in that the taste of the sweet/ savoury combination is really quite bizarre but you keep going back for more.
