    I don't like Christmas very much but I'm looking forward to eating well and relaxing during my days off big time.

    I had a holiday at the end of September but with the new job and college I'm fairly wrecked again!!

    Would love to have today off :(

    poor you. i remember thinking in college how great it would be just to have a 9-5 job, so at least you'd get some time off then. a feeling of being wrecked all the time...

    Ah it's not so bad really - I'm doing the course because if I get the CCNA it'll be a big step for me regarding future career plans

    It's just sometimes after working a full day summoning the energy to head into 3/3.5 hours of college is a bit difficult!!

    I need to catch up on study too - haven't enough over the past two weeks

    Yeah...it seemed like a great idea at the time!! :pac:

    I like it but with the new job - I'm working 10-7 except Wednesday and Friday I have to work 9-6 so I can go straight from work to college from half 6 - half 9 or so.

    As stupid as it sounds - not having that extra hour in the mornings two days a week knackers me!!

    Hopefully I'll get the CCNA and continue on my mission to be more like ToxicPaddy :pac:

    well you could take out things you don't like and put in things you do. The idea there was "how to" as well. As fussy as you are like :P

    He's probably talking about how Black Forest Gateau was the dessert of choice with Irish mammies around that time.

    I love "normal" cheesecake, but not chocolate cheesecake or anything that makes it very, very sweet. Keep it simple!

    Amaretto tiramisu is the bomb.

    I'm having sweet potato and gruyere frittata later. Nice!

    That reminds me of sweet potato chips that I had in NZ a few years back - they were unreal. Something between a chunky chip and wedges, but made out of sweet potato with skins left on. I think they called them Kumara, or Kumaru, something like that. Must research...

    Sweet potato chips or wedges are awesome.

    You must research this New Zealand variety and report back here ASAP :pac:

    It turns out Kumara is actually the Maori term for 'Sweet Potato'. Duh :rolleyes:
    I presume they're done as with regular wedges - parboil potatoes, chop, put on roasting dish with olive oil, rock salt and rosemary.

    Another one I've got to try is beer battered chips. I've never seen them in Ireland but I have a recipe somehwere. They're to die for...

    Ah yeah I'm familiar enough with cooking wedges, I made batch of mexican wedges over the weekend. I thought you may have had something new and interesting for us! I always mix up the olive oil and spices first and then toss the wedges to get them coated in the mixture.

    Battered chips??? Possibly not my cup of tea!

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

    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...
