    I'm after a few beers and I just made some dough for pizza (it's in the hot-press rising). I made my first pizza about a month ago and it was quite nice so I'm kinda into that at the moment.

    Anyhoo, here's my questions.

    Do you cook stuff when your half stoked or do you just order takeaway before it's too late?

    If you do cook stuff what do you make for yourself? A few sausages and a bit of toast or something more adventurous?

    Always handy to cook something that doesn't need to be left for too long in case you fall asleep and burn the gaff down.

    Top tip.

    Dough needs to be left in a warm place for a while in order for the yeast to get to work. It's called "proofing".

    What do you use for sauce?

    I find tomato paste too bitter, so I have to reduce a tin of tomatoes with some garlic and onions.

    Dough only rises with heat.

    A hot press is a good place to leave it to rise.

    Well I'm new to this but last week I just used passata with a crushed garlic clove, salt, pepper and some mixed herbage.

    Myself and my friend made pizzas drunk one night.
    In the morning we found half her cds burnt or boiled or something, and the pizzas were still in the oven, in their packaging. (The oven wasn't on).
    I don't know wtf we were at.

    So after that, I never went near a cooker drunk again.
    Even though I now use mp3s instead of cds.

    I need to try adding herbs, I have a lovely basil plant which I keep meaning to use when I cook.

    I also got salami in lidl which is deadly.

    The only thing to eat after a few beers is a tray of chips, rice and curry sauce


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    Sausage sambo and lately I add a poached egg. Always with tea! I have yet to burn the house down.

    My brother came home locked last week and decided to turn on the deep fat for chips and sausages... Fell asleep on the couch with the thing on -_- Luckily his wife woke up after about an hour because she smelt it. Wouldnt be something Id try myself, Hillbillys all the way when drunk!

    I usually try to avoid cooking when I'm drunk but if I am going to cook something I usually stick to things that just have to be thrown into the oven for a few minutes. No frying pans and nothing that would involve using a knife.

    Quick poached egg -

    crack in a mug.

    Cover with a paper towel, making sure the ends are wrapped underneath the mug (as egg tends to 'pop')

    whack in microwave for 50-60 secs.

    *bing*

    Done! :)

    I juggle chainsaws myself.

    No, I'm winding. I just have this pizza obsession at the moment. I have these phases.

    Garlic yeah, but a wee bit of added sugar works a treat while you're reducing. Sweetens it up a bit.

    Or you could make a bbq sauce.

    That sounds interesting.

    I need to keep things simple because...

    .....easy.

    cooking when pished often leads to house fires...

    At this time of night the only thing me and my other half want is unfertilized eggs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 123 ✭✭crash davis


    Don't eat at night, that's the key. You're already calorific right now with the beer, no need to throw more in there. Just drink water.
