The food was fantastic! A big thank you from me too <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->



My morning hangover has been replaced with a kind of numb sensation, probably a bit of a sugar-crash after all the balalaika along with post-party malaise.



Koneko was safely deposited at the train station after a couple of hours just chilling, and various left overs are now chilling. Time for me to chill with some anim? before "being human" comes on.



Next week, I shall mostly be experimenting with falafel <!--emo&:Aaarghh:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/pirate.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pirate.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Thank you all for letting us experiment on you! <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



'Twas another good evening, looking forward to the next one.



JJ, here's a felafel recipe for you to try:


Ingredients:



&nbsp; &nbsp; * 1 cup dried chickpeas or 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans.

&nbsp; &nbsp; * 1 large onion, chopped

&nbsp; &nbsp; * 2 cloves of garlic, chopped

&nbsp; &nbsp; * 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped

&nbsp; &nbsp; * 1 teaspoon coriander

&nbsp; &nbsp; * 1 teaspoon cumin

&nbsp; &nbsp; * Salt

&nbsp; &nbsp; * Pepper

&nbsp; &nbsp; * Oil for frying



Preparation:

Place dried chickpeas in a bowl, covering with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Omit this step if using canned beans.



Drain chickpeas, and place in pan with fresh water, and bring to a boil.



Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then let simmer on low for about an hour.



Drain and allow to cool for 15 minutes.



Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl.



Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be a thick paste.



Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten.



Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees until golden brown


Best to use a blender if you can, mashing it will take ages. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Got on the train at 7ish, arrived home at 10pm <!--emo&-_---><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sleep.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sleep.gif' /><!--endemo-->; It wasn't too bad a journey though.



I had a great time, I loved seeing/meeting everyone, and the food was indeed super yummy!

LOL, I know it's not a polite thing to say to a lady - but you look absolutely terrifying!



It's partly because you've gained big black wings and red eyes, and pretty much look like a demon. Having all the knives lined up completes the picture <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Can we have a fire? Shall I organise something a bit Pagan for the event?

Feel free to bring as much Pagan to the event as you wish, and I'll do my best to supply much fire.



I am definitely planning a fire. It depends on my gardening all being completed on time because it's quite a big project, and in part depends on my neighbour.



He's replacing the fence "soon" - and I'm reluctant to work on the adjacent beds too much if they're all going to be squished! Also, he's unsure about the local by-laws concerning fires. I'm calling it "a big barbecue" around which I plan to roast huge joints of meat, but some neighbours may not see it that way.

Details so far:



I've made 3 types of quiche which all look pretty good. There's also several kinds of cheese, some biscuits, vegiburgers and I'm making various pates so we won't starve. I still need to shop for booze and meat which I'll do Saturday afternoon.



Cirrus is coming. KW is also coming, but not until about 7pm due to a broom broom meeting at Silverstone. I'll be here, and two reds are expected <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->



If anyone else fancies turning up, then please between 4pm and 7pm for pre-event drinks. Any later and you might miss it, any earlier and you might have to wait outside!



On the down side, it looks like constant rain all evening. I'm not sure if the fire will be possible, since it's been raining for 2 days and all the wood is soaking wet now <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->



It seems wrong, but I'm going for an early night now. See you tomorrow <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

We're sorting ourselves out now, should be on our way in the next hour or so. See you soon!

We totally sat outside in the rain by the fire all night. My neighbours must think we're bat-sh!t insane <!--emo&:fish:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/laughing-fish.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laughing-fish.gif' /><!--endemo-->



As often happens, KW went home before we made it to the cheese, biscuits and cake course. Mind you, that was 1pm the following day and we called it "lunch" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
