The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

OK following the startling success of my batter dishes, thought I would share a mince dish of my own making



Place Quorn to one side



Hack apart an onion, smash up a garlic clove, and stir these two together adding some salt



Shallow fry the onion/garlic mix but don't add any oil or whatnot before adding a pack of mince beef, keep frying until it is brown ... ish



Here's the clever bit - boil a pan of water and add a sliced up lemon into the water - put the oily mix into a colander and put the colander over the boiling water pan so its being steamed - put a lid on to keep the steam



After a while, the gross fat should have landed in the water and the lemon should have infused the mince



Dump the whole lot into a slow cooker and stir in a tin of baked beans and a couple of grated carrots. After a while add some gravy granules or stock cube



Stir it until you're bored, serve with rice or whatever you have in the cupboard (you can stir pasta in to the mix just a add a little water)



This allows you to use cheap mince without having to swallow all the grease and have a really bulky meal (thanks to the carrot) which is sort of carroty sweet, lemon bitter and garlic errrr garlicky



If you can afford cheese, add cheese

Today I cut my finger on a test tube that had broken in our tube shaker. I must have the only occupation where everyone's first question is 'what was in that ?'

I can understand why that is the first question. I also know that many horror movies have started out like that. Occupational hazard of working in a lab. I do hope that you are alright.

Sorry, I should have added that, it had distilled water in it

I do miss cleaning gloop out of ponds and wish I had my knowledge of poisons back then



Many years ago I set up a small pond in my step-parents' garden. I wander down to find this green pea soup being sorta stirred by a pump. I did the necessary like I had never been away, startled the two surviving huge goldfish but the water was like coffee. Probably just as well cos the sudden blast of sunlight would be bad on something that can't blink



Then I had a brainwave and threw a net bag filled with activated carbon into the pond ... probably the only perk of working in a lab. Next day .... clear water *smug*
