Surely you just cut chunks off butter.
Spreadable stuff, not actual butter butter.
If you're sticking a cookie on either side of it and making your own ice cream sandwich, yes, but how can that possibly be better than just digging into the tub or taking some out into a bowl if you're just eating the ice cream?Quote:

Getting some out with a spoon into a bowl is a pain in the arse after it's just come out the freezer (cutting it is much easier). Either you end up with a million little tiny bits and a bent spoon or you let it melt a bit and have the same problem as in part a of this explanation. I guess all the freezers in my life so far could've just been too cold, though.
Never knew eating ice cream was so complicated.
It's not, if you do it properly.
Finding myself opting for the vegetarian option more and more this year. Had some veggie sausages earlier and they were the nuts.
There's a joke there about them not being vegetarian if they were 'the nuts', but it falls down on the basis of the proper meaning of nuts.
What a quandary.
I'm trying to do this during the week now in an effort to be a bit healthier and limit the amount of junk I eat. I even bought some Quorn burgers today.Quote:

Dear lord.
More like failing at being middle class.
How did you not know focaccia is a type of bread?
You thought Focaccia was pasta?
I'm not that big on Italian noncery to be honest. Of all the cuisines it's the shittest.
Magic. :*)
Londoners, tell me about a burrito place named 'Tortilla'.
It's decent. Quite cheap if I remember correctly, though I've only been once.
'Californian-style Mexican food'
I'll predict a ':harold:' from Pepe.
The prices do look reasonable, even more so since they're doing all food half price until Friday. My main concern was the 'began after a four year search for a decent taco' shit in their blurb, which makes it sound like it's run by mahow.
I genuinely thought the same when I read that.
It's definitely something that I would do, I'm constantly pissed off that there are no decent Mexican or Korean (a Mexican/Korean gaff would be amazing, they blend so well) places here.
Does risotto work with basmati rice? Turns out it does, although if you don't use risotto rice is it still called a risotto?
Tackling the big questions tonight.
Probably not as it won't be as creamy as a risotto made with aborio rice.
In which case I just had rice with stuff I found in the fridge.
There is the quite popular 'Seoul Taco' over here. Their burritos are not bad. Better than going to Wendys or other shite and the price is around the same.Quote:

Made some brownies (these ones http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandst...rink.shopping2 which I'm sure I've espoused the virtues of before) and some salted caramel last night, and just had it with some vanilla ice cream.
Fucking HELL. :drool:
Tortilla is good. It's a Subway style affair so you just pick what you want as they go along and make it for you. Everything tasted properly fresh though and it was stuffed past bursting point, so I've no complaints for two seventy.
Sounds like most burrito places except for the price.
Had boodles for the first time tonight. For once, a pretty tasty alternative.
The gin?
No the healthy noodle alternative.
Noodles are unhealthy now? I feel like I'm missing something.
Those bare naked ones? They look rank.
Carbs. Carbs are bad. The girl that sits opposite me in work is doing some fitness 'bootcamp' thing and she got an eating plan from it. It's done by some of those clean eating no carbs wankers. I hate that shit.
I find it especially strange considering that low fat is better for a person than low carbs.
Carbs are bad now, but fat is no longer bad, now it is good. Only the good fat though, bad fat is bad.
Oh well, bollocks to that then. By happy coincidence Boodles the gin is quite nice too.
Boodles is just a butternut squash that's been grated to look like noodles. I think. One of my five a day, anyway.
Played Tragic.
Butternut squash is fucking repugnant. My aunt is a vegetarian and absolutely loves all that stuff, I tried a butternut squash lasagne she was raving about once and it was like sick.
Tesco finest Swiss White Chocolate & Honeycomb cookies.
Thank me later.
Sitting in Burger King hating myself. There goes the boodles benefit.
You're a fucking boodle.

I bought a bar of this recently.
I don't know if you can ever really argue that a bar of chocolate that size is 'worth' what it cost, but fucking hell it was spectacularly nice.
My Co-Op had a load of that fancy chocolate they do on clearance prices. A good sized bar of milk chocolate with toffee and Himalayan red salt (???) for 40p. :drool:
Didn't check the date of a bottle of soy sauce I found in the cupboard (it was sealed) and ended up putting a splash in my fried rice before I noticed it looked watery as fuck. Checked the date and it's about 18 months gone.
Just a small splash has ruined my fried rice.
Doesn't quite taste right and it's watery as hell :(
Bought a coconut. Eating it just now. Pretty awesome, though quite hard to prepare and eat raw. Not sure what else to do with it? The coconut juice though. :drool:
I made a chicken ramen yesterday. In the spirit of Brexit, I sacked off all the dirty foreign ingredients like bamboo and the detestable pak choi, replacing them with blighty's very own fresh spinach.
It was absolutely sensational. Having posh chicken stock made the difference.
