ohhh
thank you shad

[Ashington]

To be honest i didn't think it needed anymore explaining then that especially with the photo references. I was also trying to avoid spelling everything out like people hadn't seen a spatula before. Next time i'll be sure to make sure it all reads nice and clearly thanks shad/sash.

Edit:I've reworked the Jelly instructions so hopefully it's much clearer now.

This makes me hunggy...

Alrighty here's the second thing of the topic, Stuffed peppers! Cooking Dilly has taken off for the 'World Panda Neko Dance-Off' so she will be replaced by Cooking Shida, drawn and written by Shida.

Alrighty here are all the lovely things you are gonna need (feeding 2):
-4 large red peppers, tops cut off, cored and seeded, keep the tops
- salt
-Vegetable/cooking oil for the pan
- 1 small onion peeled and chopped finely
- 4oz/100g minced beef
-15ml/1 tablespoon tomato puree
-4 mushrooms peeled and chopped
- freshly chopped basil or 2.5ml/ ½ teaspoon of dried basil
- 15ml/ 1 teaspoon of cumin (optional)
- 4oz/100g of cooked rice
- 15ml/1 tablespoon of butter

-First off prep all the ingredients ready for use, you'll want half the amount of uncooked rice to boil to the amount of cooked rice you need.

Cooking Shida Sez:"Prepare everything before you begin, otherwise you'll be rushing about and you'll ruin EVERYTHING!"

-Get a large pan to put the prepped peppers into, fill It with water and put the peppers in, then bring to the boil, take the peppers out and rinse under cold and dry gently with kitchen towel.

Cooking Shida Sez:"Use a massive pan, the biggest you can find. Otherwise you'll have unevenly blanched peppers and no one wants unevenly blanched peppers."

- Put a spoon of oil into a frying pan. Add the onion and fry till golden brown, then add the mince and dice it up, stir constantly until fully browned. Preheat the oven at this time for 180oC/350oF.

Cooking Shida Sez:"Keep stirring often, otherwise you'll get weird onions and burn the mince to the pan! What a waste!"

-Stir into it in this order: tomato puree, mushrooms, basil, cumin (if used) and cook for 5 minutes. Afterwards take the pan off the heat and mix the rice in thoroughly.

Cooking Shida Sez:"Too much rice for your pan? Take it out and save it for another meal!"

- Stand the peppers in a deep ovenproof casserole dish, spooning the stuffing into and around the peppers. Put a small piece of the butter on each pepper and then put the lids back on, not sealing in the stuffing though. Cover the dish with foil and put into the oven (should be preheated by now) and leave for 40 minutes. Check the peppers are ready by poking with skewer, if soft when pierced, then it's ready. Serve strait from the dish.

Cooking Shida Sez:"Put some extra stuffing under your pepper to keep it in place while it cooks!"

There were a few too many pictures last time so here are just a couple of the end result to keep things simple:



Note: I made my example dish to feed 3 people instead of 2, make sure to adjust your ingredients accordingly when cooking for more/yourself!

Cooking Shida sez: Don't forget the most important ingredient of all; the bottle of wine I'll be drinking using the next time I make this.

Alrighty! The third thing being made is cheesecake! Now because she was caught drinking all the cooking wine in storage I've had to sack Cooking Shida. So here this time it's Cooking Scrib, done by MrScriblam.

What you're gonna need to prepare:
175g/6oz of digestive biscuits, crushed
75g/3oz of melted butter (melt it slowly over a pan or in a microwave at a low temperature)
1kg/2lb of full fat soft cream cheese
250g/9oz of caster sugar
4 eggs
40g/1 1/2oz plain flour
300ml/10 fl oz of soured cream
1 lemon rind grated
Oven preheated to 180oC/350oF

1. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter in a bowl. Pour this mix into a greased 23cm/9inch spring form tin and spread it out and press it down evenly all over the base (make sure you do use a spring form tin or you're going to have an interesting time getting it out later on!) Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Take it out after this time to cool but leave the oven on.

Cooking Scrib sez: "Make sure you crush the biscuits properly before you mix them with the butter. I recommend a kitchen hammer or rolling pin to pummel them properly. This'll be a good chance to vent any childhood anger relating to bullying, you know you want to!"

2.Put the remaining ingredients in a big mixing bowl and mix them all together thoroughly. Pour the mix slowly and evenly into the tin and put it back in the oven for 35 minutes. Switch off the oven and leave it to cool for 2 hours.

Cooking Scrib sez: "I know it's your baby and you want to make sure it's doing ok but DO NOT open the oven while it's cooling,  if you do the cheesecake might crack and you will feel pwned and gay! Although it might just crack anyway, it does that sometimes!"

3. Remove from the oven and leave it on the side until it's cold. Remove from the spring form tin carefully with a palette knife and place on a serving plate (if you didn't listen to me earlier and used a non spring form tin you're pretty much fucked!) Put on any toppings you might want to add and serve!

Cooking Scrib sez: "If you were unfortunate enough to get cracks in your cheesecake don't despair, you can use your topping to cover up the cracks and you just need to be careful when removing it from the tin. If you don't have a topping then don't worry, looks aren't everything *snerk*"
