What are you doing this VERY minute?

[Accy cyclist]

Thinking about making prawns and chorizo sausage with garlic, leeks and peppers then adding some single cream, in my slow (but put on high heat) cooker. 🤔

Add the prawns at the last minute, else they'll go rubbery.

I am having a and a Min Spy.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Just decided to make it.

Just checking to see if the prawns are already cooked or raw. I think they're cooked, but best to check.

They're already cooked, so yes i'll add them later. We don't want slightly cooked prawns!

Even if they were raw, they'd only need a few minutes poaching in the hot liquid to cook them through.

Oh i don't know. I saw some big raw/grey ones complete with head and tail that looked like they'd need a good few minutes frying to make them edible.

A minute a side, tops*. I love those big king or tiger prawns. Umm, so do my cats...

No, seriously, prawns are much like fresh sweetcorn - if you overcook it, you end up with something tough and very chewy.

* with butter and garlic, or with a little thai red curry paste...

As usual I start off making something simple, but then decide to complicate it. I've just chucked some fresh ginger and coriander in.

Currently sat in the Cambridge Corn Exchange waiting for Public Service Broadcasting to come on stage in about 20 minutes.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Thinking whether to have a couple of boiled eggs and a tiger roll. 🤔

 

[Accy cyclist]

Thinking about sewing a button back on a shirt while the eggs boil...if I have them that is. 🤔

 

[Reynard]

Making a cup of tea and deciding which episode of Star Trek I fancy watching this evening.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Thinking about making a cheese and onion toastie.🤔

 

[Accy cyclist]

I only have Stilton, so maybe not.🤔
