How's the peanut satay coming along? For all this fussing, the lettuce is just one element in the entree.

All in all, Urmoe is to be congratulated for a) thoughtfulness in dinner prearation and b) bringing all this iceberg peeling, Tupperware loving into the open.

btw oysters, smoked salmon and champagne the boring Valentine's dinner at chez H2H. Kids can eat scraps of baguette if they are lucky.

satay isnt a problem, nor is the filling for the san choi bau, i have that down pat.....ive been making them for her for years on special days but I have always had lettuce stress...can never seem to perfect it and scoured the internet for a solution to my problem.

I should have just asked bigfooty in the first place but the roo lounge hadnt been established last time i cooked it.

My way is best.

Spend the year bemoaning our culture's maniacal obsession with rash spending and our continued slavery to consumerism. Rant against a marketing executives idea of a formal celebration of love (today) and parenthood (mothers and fathers day) and lambast any forced celebration of this kind.

Some call it a alot of effort to avoid buying crap and spending money, but whilst Urmoe is pulling apart a lettuce I'll be watching TV and drinking really bad whiskey.

Urmoe, nothing I have written this thread has been even in the same postcode as serious. I made (called noodle shop and payed) dinner just last night.

Going by that menu, Hearts, at least you're being a little more up front than Urmoe about what you want out of the evening. ;)

That my friend ain't no lettuce!
 
Whilst on the subject of lettuce here's a lettuce recipe from TV's hottest chef.

A friend sent me one of his books via email a while back it has about 100 recipes so far I've cooked over 20 of them. If your interested in a copy PM me I'd be happy to forward it to you.

Happy cooking.


Warm Rocket Salad

Warm salads can be blooming amazing or a complete disaster. First, you have got to get your hungry guests around the table before you plate up, so as soon as their bums are on the chairs, you are tossing the warm ingredients in with the rocket leaves. Boom, boom, boom on a plate and it's in front of them.
2 medium red onions
8 whole rashers (slices) pancetta or smoked streaky bacon
Olive oil
4 sprigs thyme
A good handful pine nuts
4 big handfuls rocket (arugula)
Balsamic vinegar
A piece of Parmesan, for shaving
Peel, halve, and quarter the onions then quarter again, to give you 8 pieces from each onion. Heat a frying pan and fry off the rashers of pancetta until crisp. Add a couple of lugs of olive oil to the pan, and add the sprigs of thyme, the onions, and pine nuts with a pinch of salt. Toss around and fry on a medium heat for about 5 minutes until caramelized and sweet (not black!).
Then, throw everything into a salad bowl with the rocket or any nice salad leaves. Drizzle generously with balsamic vinegar, this will make a natural dressing as it mixes with the olive oil. Serve with some shaved Parmesan over the top, you can use a potato peeler to do this. Munch away.

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Well no, it's a cabbage. But the marvellous thing about these particular containers are the little white buttons on the front, which you open according to whether the vegetable inside is a heavy or light breather.

(I am not making this up)

So lettuce stays crisp and green, not limp and brown. And don't even start me on the effect on carrots.

(quality tupperware)

Going on recent form, I reckon he went out way too hard. Got himself blind drunk, spewed up that lettuce conncoction all over himself and is currently sleeping it off on the the couch.;)

On the other hand - he may have kicked a goal and gone vegan tonight. :)

I cannot believe that I have just wasted 5 minutes of my life reading this thread.:confused::confused::confused:

Not even a lettuce kicked, marked or handballed in anger. Where on earth is the world heading these days?

I actually remember a time when plastic kitchen utensils followed by a recipe amounted to a human hate crime.

Progress is being made.:thumbsu:
