I can't see why you shouldn't be able to use a regular turnip- however, even if you cut it into bite size bits, it'll still need longer cooking time than a baby one. Alternatively, substitute it with something like parsnip, or if you want to be a trendy fucker, squash. As far as cooking , it seems to be split into clear stages The blanching of the veg- the iced water is to stop them cooking further at this stage. The cooking of the lamb- pretty straightforward. Deglazing the pan, and creating the sauce. Make sure the pan is well hot before you pour on the wine.If you reduce it too much, add water to bring it back to volume. Finally, caramelising the veg. Hope it works mate.

That looks really nice. Where are you thinking you'll struggle?

This thread has confirmed for me that Leazes should get the same treatment as Deadman and , briefly, Paul Wynn. The crazy old bastard has clearly crossed the line from sanity to smearing himself in his own shit. Pity gents, pity. It's the hippy,lefty dooder way to treat him.

Major Earthquake N Japan - Pacific Tsunami Warning
Monkeys Fist replied to Rob W's topic in General Chat
It was indeed. Some amazing footage (most of it already seen on youtube but looks better on the telly). Apparently what made the tsunami worse was entire section of the East coast actually dropped down a metre after the quake. That town that was destroyed had adequate sea defences (as historically tsunamis frequently hit there), but because the height of the wall effectively dropped relative to the sea, its defences were inadequate. Also, in some places the water level rose FIFTY feet as it was funelled through streets, which is why cars and boats were left on top of appartment blocks. The footage of the liquifaction was also terrifying. Most scary though is what will happen to Tokyo if they get a direct hit from a tsunami (apparently this is much more likely now). I wasn't aware large parts of it are only 2 metres above sea level. The carnage would be unimaginable. That was amazing- the guy,american tourist iirc, seemed remarkably calm given the fact large cracks were appearing beneath his feet. I'd have been running through the streets yelling " Head for the hills!!" -

Get one of those UV marker pens and write "I have crabs" or some other unsavoury tag on every one of her "going out" tops before this weekend.

The book is an absolute cracking read too, the climbers wrote a chapter each giving their own perspective on the situation, one of my favorite books without pictures. I was wondering if the book would be worth a look actually. Might see if I can find a free copy for the Kindle. Watched 127 Hours today too. That was pretty mental as well. Really good watch. The book is excellent. Joe Simpson is a fucking Jonah when it comes to climbing mind- previous to the Andes trip, his climbing exploits read like a catalogue of fuck ups. -

The planets relationship with the sun is changing and the magnetic fields and solar winds are affecting the planet. In turn this is affecting the tech plates and also arousing volcanic activity. Divorce- it's the satellites that will suffer most. -
