Paphos People

Well Molly, I have never been one for personal comments, but if you want to know about CF's mouth .....

Has he got a big one (mouth that is)

Molly

When you're both quite finished!

In answer to the original question, the knack to eating such a packed sarnie lies in getting a good firm grip, using both hands to keep it in place, and then just wedging it in as quickly as possible....

Hahahahaha

Molly

Yep. That sounds familiar. I am glad you clarified that it was about eating a sarnie, though.

The latest installment comes from last night's Valentine's dinner extravaganza - Mrs F had typically reneged on our agreement not to buy each other presents (you really would think i would have learned by now! ) so the pressure was on!

Created a fine meal with pan-fried chicken livers followed by roast beef (medium-rare) with a roast potato medley, brocolli, carrots and my speciality rosemary gravy Went very well indeed, even if I do say so myself!

Best bit is I made loads, so there's leftovers for tea tonight!

Any other fine dishes created by the chaps out there??

I have chicken wings, marinating in a spicy chili and garlic sauce
at home .. I think a nice salad to with it, will do ..

Make the most of it. If Mrs. CF brings me some custom following the romance of the night the chicken livers will be off the menu and the steak will have to be well cooked for the next nine months.

Last night we did something we never do........... we had a take away.
A set meal for four from the local Thai take away. It was very very nice and more than enough for four. Main meals were Garlic King Prawns, Thaipan Duck,Chicken Green Curry and Hot Spicy Beef.
All this for £35 ! and that included two bottles of wine thrown in
We'll do it again, at that price it's not worth lighting the oven !

I've told you Verity, you'll be getting no business from the Fantastic household!!

Tonght's tea is a rare treat with the good lady wife cooking, her speciality chicken breast with spiced cherry tomato couscous served with pitta bread and lashings of tzatziki - always a culinary triumph!

Is it GF, CF? If so, I am on my way.

I know you lot over in Paphos can get this anytime but I'm doing meatballs in a tomato and cinnamon sauce followed by Greek salad with Feta and chicken and Lamb kebabs, fried halloumi and some of that posh Greek ice cream with honey for sweet.
Hope everyone likes it !

Stroumbi Tavern does liver & onions on a Thursday night, very nice, mmmmmm making my mouth water now

Right, I've been inspired by "Ready Steady Cook" this week, and have taken to picking out a main ingredient each morning and then challenging Mrs F to find a recipe for me to cook for tea that evening....

Chicken livers was today's offering and she's provided me a recipe for them cooked in red wine with bacon, onions and olives - sounds promising and I'm confident in producing something decent! Bonus is I only need a little bit of red wine for the recipe, so get to drink the rest with it!

What's everyone else dining on this fine evening?

CF really pushed the boat out last night with his Paella. We had some king prawns in the fridge and he just threw this culinary delight together.

Just delicious!

I'm hungry now!

Y

Ok... tonight I am trying my own style..
I have cut the chicken breasts (did I say breasts )
into stips (strips )
They have been marinated overnight in the fridge..
Today i will cut a mixture of red, orange, yellow peppers into
STRIPS ! (this is getting worse )
I will fry the (GOD DAM STRIPS )
then I grill the(BREASTS ) ......
until firm, tender and brown oh god help me
To compliment these i have made my very own chillie sauce
I have a tub of sour cream and a packet of tortiilia wraps..
along with a nice Tossed (did I say Tossed ) salad

grilled chicken strips with fried peppers, wrapped in tortillia with sour cream and chillie sauce
Side salad

We are having stir fry chicken with a gluten free chilli sauce that Phil found in the supermarket. He thought he would give it a go.

He usually makes his own, but he is being lazy tonight.

I also have a goody bag of GF biccies and chocolates that a friend bought over from the UK.

Party time!

We're off to the Stroumbi Tavern, it's Liver & Onions night... mmmmmmmmmmmm

Treating ourselves to a takeaway tonight - chicken kebab and chips I reckon, plus maybe a cold Keo or 2 to chill out after the hectic last couple of days!

and I had a lovely hot curry, with lime pickle and mango chutney ........... and it was flipping gorgeous........

Well I'm back from the Stroumbi Tavern & I've just had the best Liver & Onions with Mash & gravy since what my mother use to cook me back in 1986

If anyone likes this, you really need to try Steve's at the Stroumbi on a Thursday night only, its well worth thr trip but make sure you book in advance

I got force fed liver when I was expecting Nathan, 23 years ago next Wednesday. It put me off for life.

I am going to bake a cake today to celebrate Kieran's birthday as he is 25 today. I did all the hard work on the day, so I figure I should get cake!

I love the liver at the Neptune in Coral Bay. He lightly coats in breadcrumbs, then pan fries, served with crispy bacon and crispy fried onions - absolutely scrummy!

Jean

That sounds awesome Jean, might have to try that out sometime

Chicken wraps were 100% success
tonight its grilled pork chop, carrot and tattie mash (I like that)
garden peas and a creamy pepper and mushroom gravey ..

Looking forward to it already!
