Dinner tonight

[Baldy]

I'm having soup in the basket...

Followed by sausage on the bone?

I see on the tellybox that scientists say bacon is deadly (see also: sausages) and we will all die of eating it.

We were discussing the very same thing at lunch yesterday ... I had never put bacon into the processed food category 

Anyhoo, risotto, jumbo king prawns, collapso

Breaking news Nick! We're all going to die anyway!

In which case, I'd rather die happy (if a little sooner) than sad and bereft of bacon, lonely and beyond being able to do anything (as my 102 year old Mum was in the end).

Mind you, she defied the pundits - she smoked like a trooper till she was in her 70's and still drank a bottle of scotch every couple of days right up to the end!

My advice? Ignore the bloody lot of them - their ideas probably rank up there with 'man made global warming' as great works of fiction!

I'll drink to that.......

Meanwhile, back on topic, fillet steak, asparagus, sauté potatoes, 'shrooms, onions, all accompanied by copious amounts of Red Transit!

Steak to be done how I like it - basically, take the horns off, wipe it's arse and stick a slice on the plate!

No that was Cow TV in an alliance with Pig TV where they are dissing Rump Steak

For those interested, the actual paper if anything is more interesting because it largely negates previous assuptions about red meat and health.  A "Rump Steak is Innocent OK" report. 

The moderate processed food link was known about ages ago.  The alleged issue IIRC is Sodium Nitrite and Nitrate reacting with stomach acids to form carninogens.

Which food kills most people?  Rice (again IIRC)

Not surprised it's rice ............they are always chucking it out of planes on to those skinny bastards,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Diabetes and gastro bugs linked to Rice being kept warm apparently

Yep! Don't eat rice, just eat meat!

Well, my arborio is going to meet more than warm 

Was checking my recipe and read these charming words:
"The risotto should be creamy and slightly soupy. When you draw a wooden spoon through it, there should be a wake that holds for a few moments but not longer."

Mmmmmm     Right. Off to peel some prawn  (NAE)
