Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in UK From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 Oct 03 - 03:43 PM Jane - it's worth it - despite being a dentist, he's lovely and can fill my cavities any time! Especially after what he said about my cooking - sprouts like musket balls, burnt Yorkshire puds and gravy that set.... just like Mother used to make! Jimmy - it was a pleasure and don't worry, the ringing in your left ear will subside after a few hours away from Micca bending it! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 06 Oct 03 - 06:55 AM Where are you staying ? - are you still in the London area - if so what plans do you have for this week ? |
Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in UK From: open mike Date: 06 Oct 03 - 02:33 PM better call 'em shell cats mud backs sounds too much like wet backs which is a derogatory term for illegal immigrants (who wade the Rio Grande or some other river to get to the U.S.) |
Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in UK From: Micca Date: 06 Oct 03 - 05:12 PM It was real good to meet Jimmyt and have a chance to talk at Liz's on Sunday, nice to put a face to the name. |
Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in UK From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Oct 03 - 05:30 PM OK, due to popular demand in the Mudchat, here is the recipe for the chocolate orange pudding. Some tips - a mandarin is a small, sweet orange that has a loose skin. Satsumas would be just as good. Use a bitter, dark chocolate. 450grams dark chocolate 4 egg yolks 1/2 cup raisins (I soaked mine in rum but you don't have to) 2-3 mandarins 200ml creme fraiche (French soured cream - mascapone cheese might do instead) 50grams dark chocolate for decorations. Peel the mandarins. Remove all the pith from both fruit and skin. Slice the skins really thinly. Melt chocolate, stir in egg yolks one at a time. Add the creme fraiche, raisins and peel. Mix it well until creamy. Grease a small loaf tin or any mould and line with clingfilm (Gladwrap). Pour mix into mould and leave in fridge to set. Meanwhile, melt the other 50grams of chocolate and use it to coat the mandarin slices. Leave these on skewers or a wire rack to set. When solid, turn loaf out onto serving plate and decorate with chocolate mandarin slices and more sliced peel. Leave out for about 20 mins before serving, to make it easier to slice. Serve in thin slices with the mandarins. It's just called 'chocolate orange slices' and a little goes a very long way! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in UK From: jimmyt Date: 15 Oct 03 - 06:15 AM I am back in USA HAve had very sporadic access to internet lately. I had a chance to meet up with all the catters at Banbury. Loads of great folks all quite pleasent and fun to meet. Had too much beer too early and got a stomach situation so was forced to get back to my hotel in Chipping Campden without saying goodbye, but it was terrific to meet them all. Must remember that festival going is predicated on staying right there! Thnks fo everyi\thing UKers will return in the spring! jimmyt |
