Cluck cluck go the sound of the hens

Posted on May 22, 2011January 2, 2012 by redeye

We finally did it. After Phatty helped us with the chicken coop we’ve acquired a couple of beautiful hens. We’ve named them Burt and Ernie. Already after only one day they’ve started laying; two eggs so far. I’m poaching them for breakfast! I’ll post my new favourite recipe to celebrate. Black pudding and poached egg salad… This […]

Posted on July 31, 2008January 2, 2012 by redeye

Posted on July 16, 2007 by redeye

Good afternoon fellows of the world. We’ve been hibernating from the awful “summer” that we three Brits are having. So to get us back into the MCC madness we’d like to get some ideas for summat to cook. Any suggestions? Nothing too complicated, something that we can learn from and then post back here to […]

Now this is Man Cooking…

Posted on February 18, 2007 by redeye

Lightly toast some bread. Add a really, really thin spread of marmalade (optional, but try it…). Top with grated cheese and apply the MAPP torch. You’d be surprised just how close you have to hold it to get the cheese to brown—I started waving it vaguely in the direction of the bread, but ended up […]

5 things you didn’t know about Phatty…

Posted on February 17, 2007February 13, 2020 by phatty

Crikey. I got tagged too, so here goes. My second favourite cheese is Edam. My wife is Danish. I look great in a kaftan. I have three bad habits. One of which is very popular. I have a tattoo, and sadly it’s got stretch marks all over it. There you go then. I feel sort […]

We’ve been quiet.

Posted on January 12, 2007 by redeye

It’s funny we’ve been doing MCC for about 5 months this year last year, and for the most of the time it was fantastic. A true learning experience, not just the cooking, but the blog, the social side of it, the confidence building and probably many other things. Now though, the MCC has new beginnings, […]

Cooking for 10 Crazy Women (and I’m still alive)

Posted on January 11, 2007 by redeye

In November I had my first big cooking test, you could call it my first grading. It was Gee’s (my lady) birthday and she was having her friends round for some eating and drinking. Foolishly I offered to cook for them without actually realising what I was saying. Cooking for 10? Generally I have trouble […]
