It is, and pretty easy to do too. Goes very well with some nicely baked fish.

*Had to come up with something to make it up to Otis after all the sober talk yesterday.

Beer Batter for chips.

1 egg, separated
Dash of Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. beer or ale
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. melted butter

Beat egg yolk and beer with dash of Tabasco until well blended. Combine flour, salt and paprika and gradually stir into beer-egg mixture. Continue to stir until batter is smooth. Stir in melted butter. Beat egg white until fluffy and stiff and fold into batter. Dip potato strips into batter and deep fry until done.

*Now I know what's for dinner tonight...

That sounds amazing. I love savoury snacks like those but I'd be the size of a house if I started with all those type of things..

It's not that kind of batter! It's very light, you wouldn't really notice anything except an extra crispiness.

Well I'm not that into any sort of chips from regular potato, so it was more that than anything else. I'd have them every so often when I'm out as they seem to be given as a side with so much in Ireland, but I would never go out of my way to eat chips.

Wedges are different though! As is anything from sweet potato!

D'Agger · 14-11-2011 6:54pm

Macdonalds chips rock my world. That is all.

parker kent · 14-11-2011 7:01pm

McDonald's stuff don't count as chips :P:pac:

I'd be particular about chips. They'd have to come from an actual chipper that has good standards. I'd be very meh about most of them.

KCs have nice chips - but there's heroin or something in MacDonalds chips - I love them

They're the job when you're hungover too

parker kent · 14-11-2011 7:12pm

Nah I'm not into fries, the only stuff I'd like in McDonalds are the chicken burgers or a McFlurry. When I'm hungover, I love a good wrap.

Kya1976 · 14-11-2011 7:18pm

Homemade chips are the best, with steak and bearnaise sauce mmmh:)

Ohhh a hot chicken wrap with garlic mayo, lettuce and cheese is good I'll admit.

I find a good aul chicken and mushroom pie always helps my hangover!

Anyway, the Mexicano Wrap has chicken, grated cheddar cheese, taco sauce and peppers. Delish!

I do enjoy peppers....for a pauper like

Sauve · 15-11-2011 1:07am

Best wrap in the world is the following:

White wrap, six felafel balls, lashings of houmous, chillis, chilli sauce, red onion, lettuce, and a tiny amount of cheese.
That is all.

Karma for rubbing your day off and toast in all of our faces yesterday :pac:

It's always the way of it though - take a day off and the workload builds up so much that you wonder if it's worth having taken the day off in the first place.

Not having a good tuesday so far :mad:

I never tip the barber 10 quid is enough for 10 minutes work in my opinion.

15 where I go but tbf I don't mind paying it - the guy takes his time, gives a great haircut and I figure it's a pint or two less per month worth sacrificing.

Plan something for this evening and then you'll have something to look forwards to....like a take away or something - food always makes me happy

Go onto the UPC website and register, you can get all your bill electronically. Not much help with the boss but will save you having to go through all that hassle again with UPC in the future..

I would do that TP but its a shared apartment so don't think that'd work.i'll check it out though.

Paulie meant to ask,does it make much difference to use fusilli pasta instead of tagliatelle? I know to the taste it probably wouldn't but sometimes the shape does make a difference. Was going to make it tonight but forgot to take out the chicken

15-11-2011 2:38pm

how often do ye get it done so

parker kent · 15-11-2011 2:41pm

bluewolf wrote: »

At least once a month. I normally get it shorter than I actually like it so I can last a bit longer. That sounds dirty....

If I had something on like a graduation I'd get it cut to the level I actually like it.

You don't need chicken believe me - made it last night - a pack of bacon and a good few mushrooms and you're good - there'll be enough there to stuff two people because the sauce is heavy.

Turned out much better last night anyway, the sauce was thicker, pasta was better cooked and I put more garlic & Parmesan into the sauce to give it more flavor - was really good.

The pasta certainly wouldn't make a difference to me anyway so you should be fine. I think why people use tag is so you can wrap it around the fork and encapsulate bacon and mushroom with it - can't do that with Fusilli - although I do love fusilli at the same time

bluewolf wrote: »

Around once a month - and even then that's because I'm growing my hair a bit atm - I only get it thinned and tidied up a bit - would be every three weeks if I was keeping my hair short because it grows back quite fast.

stupidusername · 15-11-2011 5:35pm

Thanks paulie but i'm a savage,i'll need the chicken

not in the mood to cook now anyway.have to ring and abuse some upc staff member when I get home.
