It's like putting cheese on a baked potato.
To be really indulgent make a rarebit (thick cheese sauce with beer and mustard for those who aren't Welsh), put a layer of tangy tomato salsa in a dish, then a layer of chips then cover it in the rarebit.  |
With a pint of ale that sound great.
Most people, even here call Cheese on Toast rarebit. I really must do a real rarebit one day.

I like to cook. A lot. But only for me and the Mrs. I respect the crap out of people who find their calling to be preparers of the meals of others and thrive in such environments. If I had to cook for more people, with their sloppy opinions and personal desires as a determining factor in whether I've succeeded or failed, I'd quickly turn to spitting in everything I made out of jaded pre-spite.

I can't think of a single TV cook/chef that I'd call "hot" - Gaida is not unattractive but I don't find her to be "hot", Ching-He Huang is cute.

Dean, there you are! I bet you prefer Nigella Bites, all she does is lick her fingers and say huhmmmmmmm |
Eww, no - she murders the English language far too much for me to listen to her for more than a few minutes.

My god Dean, pasta? How could you choke down flour & water mixed into a bland paste then dried into shingle-like pieces you then have to reconstitute in boiling water? It's disgusting.
The sauce sounds good (vaguely like a piccata); those spontaneous inventions are often keepers

I know, I can hardly believe it myself - little parcels of spinach and ricotta wrapped in soggy flour paste - who'd a thunk it eh?

I'm losing passion for pasta as well....it always seems hard and chewy when I have it at a restaurant (cook it!) and the sauces rather uninspired... There is a pub cross town that makes a good "filet mignon slider".....two or three make a nice little meal with a beer. I think they just had a bit of mushroom and horseradish on them.... Tonight I tried to make some fudge for the first time....very much a work in progress
