xenophaneanDay 2
I managed to avoid any culinary adventures by eating only venison oatcakes (which appear to be becoming a staple of mine) and eating a simple stew made by Hugh.
The stew was pretty nice, with the high quality ingredients really adding flavour.
Also that day, the "stolen egg" situation apparently resolved, Paul brought us chesse, which though expensive as hell, was greatly appreciated.
Day 3 (so far)
So far today, I have eaten bacon and scrambled eggs, with cheese grated on top, and some Kale.
Bacon and Scrambled Eggs:
1. Fry the bacon (I prefer not to bother to chop it up, as that just takes time) in a dry (no-oil), non-stick frying pan, and leave over the hob on a low heat, in the hope that some oil to fry the eggs will be produced.
2. Upon realising that dry cure bacon doesn't produce much fat, vaguely go at the eggs in a bowl, with a fork, then very slowly fry the eggs in the dry pan with the bacon.
3. Consume
With this one, the lack of butter, oil or any other fat really showed, however it seems dry frying actually works if your pan's non-stick. Tasted pretty much like bacon and scrambled eggs. Pleasant enough
Kale (Steamed)
1. Get a small saucepan and a bloody huge collander
2. Place some water in the in the saucepan
3. Place the collander on top of the saucepan (water should not reach the collander)
4. Put the kale in the collander
5. Put apparatus over the hob and heat until boiling
6. Leave for a bit (I think about 15 minutes)
7. Remove kale and consume
I've discovered that I quite like steamed Kale, some butter with it would improve things
Kale (Raw)
1. Get Kale
2. Consume
I've also discovered that raw Kale is probably the tastiest thing I've got for a random snack. Not sure if my digestive system will agree, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.
