pointed su chefs onion gravy baby!
So a few days ago i decided i hadn't had bangers and mash in a long while nor had i ever really made an onion gravy in a long old time. i also figured its something alot of people usually take the easy option and by the stuff u just add hot water to which just tastes like really bad ass! so here is my recipe for onion gravy baby!
so here it is nice and simple and fast so u can get it going on while everything else is getting cooked.
Ingredients:
2 big 'fat ass' onions thinly sliced
1 clove of garlic sliced and diced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp of expensive butter. (You cheap skates!)
2 tsp of sugar
2 tsp of balsamic
Dash of lemon juice
Glass of red wine or white (red is better) (25 ml)
Ppint of vedge stock or beef stock
4 tsp of flour(cornflour, but plain will do)
Seasoning (black pepper, salt)
4 tsp of cold water(tres important i cant stress this enough)
METHOD to this madness:
firstly, melt the oil and butter in a pan over a gentle heat once melted add the garlic and onion. cover with a lid or a plate for approx ten mins still on a gentle heat until the onions are clear and soft,
at the point you need to add your sugar lemon and balsamic re cover and cook for about 5 mins,
now uncover add the stock and wine and gently boil for 5 mins. while this is going on add your flour to a heat proof dish with some salt and pepper add the cold water and mix well together until you have a kind of paste consistency. after the 5 mins add a little bit of the gravy to the heatproof bowl and mix the paste and the gravy together completely. Now pour back into the pan and stir, turn the heat up high and boil until the gravy is thickened! that is it done done done! and it will taste brilliant i promise! nom! nom! perfect with Lincolnshire sausages and a nice cheesy creamy mash!
lovely stuff!
Today i have eaten:
Yoghurt, honey, mint, strawberry and banana mixed together for breakfast! was so so so good!
Beans on toast with Cumberland sausages and a nice cheese and onion omelette for lunch
Chicken in black bean with egg fried rice for tea. (one of my favourite and very quick things to cook prepe and cooking time less than half an hour! NOM!
I've had 7 brews today! ran out of sugar and tea bags though which isn't ideal! co op in the morning i think!
for the spelling and grammar police out there.. go have a seizure!
oh and talking of them how good is TOM VEKS new album leisure seizure! 5 pointed su stars! *****
Au voir!

RIOT! RIOT! RIOT!
Hello..
so Manchester was taken over for a few hours the other night by mindless morons and ruined my night with Raghu Dixit Project and if it hadn't been for the elderly gent trying to do Bhangra it would of been awful anyways ill tell you my story of Surviving the Riots Of Manchester 2011!
at around 18:15 i got on a tram to Manchester after checking the news to see if anything was going down nothing appeared to be so i thought it will be fine and off i went! as we pull into pic gardens i see a vast amound of police and youth is masks, bandanna's and balaclavas. The tram then pulled onto Market Street and as i got off the hole of market street was a wash with black balaclavas and other kids shouting and running around looking for some kind of action. We then decided we needed food so we set off down market street to see if anywhere was open and we got half way down and decided we would try Bella Italia which was closed so then set off back down market street to be swamped by youths and teenage girls screaming and laughing as they all gathered around Miss Selfridge we moved on quickly not that anyone seemed that interested in us but still the atmosphere was slightly tense and angry so i didn't fancy it! so moved on to the slug and lettuce which was pretty much the only place open. as we sat eating are curry we watched on the news the events unfolding on market street which had now turned massively ugly. Miss Selfridge now on fire and they were breaking into the Arndale NICE!
anyways the bar girl came up to us and asked us to drink up as they were closing as kings street had now become overrun by youths and idiots! its by now 20 past seven and the pub is in lockdown and going out looked pretty stupid but kinda had no choice as we needed to get out of the area! so we left and nearly got run down by a group of boys running down the street in their balaclavasss and bottles! so we make a quick exit past the Manchester Eye where we were greated by a about 10 riot police with very angry Police dogs and about 20 or so teenagers shouting and kicking at the dogs. The dogs rightly so were going mental and the kids kept at it. until the dog was let a little bit looser by the police man and he scampered away like a little girl! TWAT!
then a guy on a bike had a dog with him on no lead and the dog was going toward the police dogs until they all went mad and the dog ran off along side his owner who got an earful for not keeping his dog under control then we past with no issues thankfully im not one for angry dogs!
after that all we saw was kids running around with new shoes ect we got to the venue which looked all closed luckily we got in and everything was going ok until 8:45 when the gig got pulled due to the fact there was trouble outside the venue. so they pulled it and everyone was ushered out in dribs and drabs and put in taxis ect it took us an hour to get a taxi and when we finally did get outside the city smelt of burning and all we saw was kids as young as 8-9 running around laughing and bragging about things they had done, seen and stole! we got in a taxi and we saw riot van after riot van fire engine after fire engine. we got back to chorlton at around 20 past ten at night and it was the strangest and uneasy 4 hours of my life to date. I thought i would share it with you all.
Rioting is the most Pathetic thing I've ever seen and i stand by my hatred for chavs in balaclavas! especially the ones in a new Rolex as we know they didn't pay for it!!!
But i Survived the 2011 riots. Trouble does seem to follow me around though not IDEAL!!
