Hoorah! The bountiful joys of mild food poisoning are lacking! I've eaten my own cooking, and I'm fine!

And this being the technological age it is, I even took a few snaps of the process!

If you see any obvious breaches of basic health and safety, let me know so I at least know what it is I'm dying of.

Ok, that ones the ingredients, as the very cheap book I bought yesterday described them :

1 small onion, finely chopped/hacked (I opted for the hacking method for most of this dish)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped/hacked (like the Matrix, very professionally hacked)
2 rashers of streaky bacon, finely chopped/hacked (Like a PC without a firewall. Sans fat of course)
125g of mushrooms, sliced (didn't do so badly here. Though i did buy more when we had some in the fridge...)
150ml can of cream of mushroom soup (had to get 250g. What's that in ml?)
Parsley (too much, not well chopped...)

Most of the above, frying gently in 1tbsp of Olive Oil, without soup...

...with soup.

Soup and frying things simmering gently, parsley added, beside a pan of boilingwater which was supposed to be cooking the tagliatelle.

All this came together to form food fit for a DickyBod:

I can't believe you made that! It actually looks edible!

So was it easy or really easy? And how come you'll eat your own cooking but you won't eat mine? huh?

Jon said...

congratulations dickybod :D

why don't you just post the images instead of posting links to them? :S

Chard said...

Because Jon the images were rather large.

And yes Sarah i did make that. And I'm sorry, theres just something about your kitchen...

Dauve said...

It actually lookes quite impressive. Maybe I should learn to cook/follow a recipe book one day

Stompp, do you not see the slight irony in spelling grammatical : "gramatical"?
