I took this photo 2.5 hours ago for a new high-end pizza/pasta restaurant website I'm doin'.

They packaged the meal up and gave it to me to take home.

Best clams I ever et. (I skipped the pasta because J is coming home with salad.)

DanaC · 03-30-2011, 05:47 PM

I have never eaten clams. That looks tasty.

I had some Potatoes Going Funny Soup.

I checked out several potato soup recipes and realized I didn't half half that shit in my cupboard, so I made things up as I went along ...

See, I had these potatoes that I bought two weeks ago at not my regular supermarket ... and they went funny fast. Didn't just grow those stubby little eye things (which doesn't happen that swiftly with my regular market taties), but they put out these colored things that were starting to produce leaves and all.

Didn't want to throw them away, and needed a way to salvage three potatoes at once (I had used one for a cheese potato and sausage omelet last weekend).

Had an onion sitting around too ... peeled and diced, tossed into the pot with some oil (plain old veggie oil, couldn't find the olive oil, might have thrown it away post expiration date). While the onions were sweating, knocked off the eyes, scrubbed, peeled, and diced the taters.

Tossed them into the onions.

Added garlic powder, black pepper, cooked for 15 minutes, covered with water, cooked for another 15 minutes. Added a wee bit more water.

Then I tried to used the immersion blender attachment from my Kitchenaid Handmixer. Useless for this application ... put on regular beaters. Splashed soup around kitchen, but ended up with a smooth soup, which is what I wanted.

Awesome, particularly with a handful of cheese and some croutons tossed at it.

Could you PM me the name of the restaurant ... or I could wait until they appear in your customer list. But I might want to check them out sooner than that ...

Fish-n-chips. With plenty of salt and vinegar.

Have found a chippy that sells 'mini' fish portions. Which is great because I always end up leaving half the food. Now I might actually finish what I bought!

I have a charm that might not be obvious to the naked eye.

For every size and shape I've been, I've always hypnotised independent fast food sellers.
From when I was a tiny teen to the 'bab van, to getting a free drink at the 'bab shop (with the student nurses) to various chicken and pizza and F&C outlets.

When the rents were away I'd go to the F&C shop for Grandad.
I would ask for a piece of fish and half a scoop of chips.
I'd even advise them to remove chips from the scoop - he simply would not eat them. Over time they would only charge me for the fish

Same with the kebab place in Leyton.
So many times I told them only to put one layer of kebab on my roll.
So when I was really brassic I'd go in and lay my coins on the counter (no shame!) and ask what it would buy me. They always managed to make a full roll for me, and sometimes lied to give me chips too.

That's why we got discounted ice-creams!

Sundae · 04-01-2011, 03:05 PM

True.

One way or another it looked like I would eat you if I didn't get enough icecream.
