the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

[Scruffie]

A venerable recipe for Rumford's Soup:

1 part pearl barley
1 part dried (yellow) peas
4 parts potato
salt according to need
Old, sour beer
Slowly boil until thick. Eat with bread.

So much for not eating loads of stodgy carbs, eh, Scruffie?

Haha i'm not saying I don't enjoy them! Anything with peas and pearl barley gets my vote.

I must buy some pearl barley and attempt that and some other soup recipes.

Yeah, it's actually not too bad and it's really cheap to make. I used to make a big pot of the stuff and eat it all week. You can add some more stuff to the recipe to make it more palatable. (Hot sauce always helps.)

I used to always make soup for the week, really need to get back in to it.. need to buy a bigger pan first though and have my oven fixed/replaced which I can't afford at the moment.

Roast Butternut Squash Soup with Onions, Garlic & Ginger and Creme Fraiche if you fancy or goats cheese = epic.

Mint & Pea has gotta be one of the quickiest and easiest too... fuck I want soup now.

TO BE SHIT OUT YOUR ASS AND THROWN IN THE COLD LIKE A PIECE OF TRASH!!!!!!

Oriental flavour ramen + 1 egg dropped in while cooking.

I lived on one of those every meal for months once. A week worth of meals costs under like $10.

Or I could buy some pedals from you if you're looking to sell anything

We don't get Ramen noodles here, i've always been intrigued by them...

I can make food out of what I have, quite nice food in fact (quite a thrifty cook) it's all just very involved so I wasn't really having it for breakfast or anything due to the time it would take then I was out of energy and it was a vicious circle, plus I had to be careful not to run out entirely. Obviously there is cheap food but cheap food is only available if you actually have change, which I did not and I ran out of basics like onions etc. I can make dirt cheap meals but when you buy in small quantities the price goes up.

You can buy baked beans for like... 15p a can and they're reasonably nutritious and pretty tasty, but I loves me some fresh food, I actually feel run down if I just have a load of carby stodge.

I'll survive, I just got knocked by £1000 of bills in the course of 3 days, just gunna take a little while to get back on track. S'cool now anyway, I made a bit of cash and got some foods.

I've had that Reverb for sale for evaaar, buy that haha.

Dude i can throw you a few quid if you need it man....

Thanks for the offer but i'll make it through, don't wanna be in debt.

Any way, this is the happiness thread, not complaining! Urmm... good things... Tea! I have tea, tastin' pretty good right now....

Never said you'd owe me, that's not how i work.

Anyhow, you know where to find me.

And yes, tea. Tea is great.

Wind Waker? That game is the shit.

Ah, weed, coitus, weed, pizza, chips and float made with years old coke zero.

I'm back from the military! luckily there weren't any stupid people there this time. And since my kidneys and my knees are kinda screwed I only have to serve for 6 months

[Grrface]

New shirts make me happy. Especially when they are Torche and Young Widows shirts.

Bonus points: I just found out TDWP, ETID and Oh, Sleeper are coming to my town.

Together?! That would be a sick show.

Soup is fun,...I'm going to have to look into that Mint and Pea,...sounds yummy.

Boil a few apples and puree them up with your butternut squash.

Carrot Ginger is also good.

I'm a huge fan of Shepard's Pie,...but sourcing good ground lamb is difficult around here so I just use ground beef. It's basically Beef Stew made in a skillet with a layer of Mashed Potatoes on top then baked. I've made this a few times to entertain friends. One I made in a 6qt Dutch Oven and fed about 10 people that came over to help me split wood and it was gone. The I made one in A 12inch Skillet,...fed four people,...scarfed....

That shit's fucking good

+1 shepherd's pie is the shit...
I like brunswick stew and white bean chili with chicken.
Or chicken and dumplings. It has to be a huge dumpling though, not that crouton-sized shit.
