OTB v3 - Revenge of the Banter Thread

I don't like pancakes, but flourless ones are quite nice. I'd say you will like them.

I'm not even bothering with pancakes. Dinner will be cchickpeas, green beans, broccoli, beansprouts and two chicken breasts all put into a bag, covered in chilli powder, smoked paprika, cajun seasoning and water, then thrown in the oven for thirty minutes.

Om nom nom.

It is plus it's not full of bad carbs (unless you're my sister and throw it all on top of a plate of rice), and is fairly low in calories.

I don't like most veg (bar chickpeas and carrots), so the spices annihilate the flavour of the ones I don't like but know I should eat :pac:

Whats coconut flour like? Usually if I'm cooking anything that requires flour I use oat flour, same goes for any meal such as meatloaf that says use crackers I use milled oats to help hold it all together.

Also I was thinking some good dark chocolate and peanut butter to top them off

I've used it to make muffins and they were yummy (with ground almonds and dark chocolate pieces). Also made a pizza base but it was too thick and very dry so that recipe would need adjusting.

It soaks up soooo much liquid - I think I'll need about 5 eggs, a cup of milk and a tablespoon of coconut flour, I'll let ye know how I get on later

Used to use milled porridge for my protein bars and oat pancakes, but I haven't made them in aaaages. Must do that today too!

Have business pitch tomorrow which is worth quite a few marks. One of the women in my group is 8 months pregnant and was feeling a bit sick today. Went in for a scan and told us she'd probably only be an hour, that she'd rang this morning and it should just be an in and out job. Got a text from here there saying she's being admitted! Didn't say what's wrong. She said yesterday as well that the baby is transverse so thinking it could be to do with that. Really worried now, hope everything's okay.

I just creped myself!

Crepe with egg, ham, cheese and maple syrup!

McChubbin

Had simple crepes with orange and sugar. Yummy, they were.

Just in the door from rugby! Not a pancake was consumed today!! Happy out! Think I'll give Marty's ones a whack for breakfast tomorrow! :-)

All creped out myself. May have had one crep avec jambon et fromage too many last week in fairness.

So I made normal pancakes and it was my first time making the batter. Served with lemon and sugar. Delish

And then I made coconut flour pancakes. The recipe was more like those you'd buy in shops, or American ones so they were very eggy, heavy, and overall wasn't very impressed after eating the normal ones first. I'll keep pluggin' away though!

salacious crumb

I had boxty pancakes (with a chicken, ham, leek and mushroom filling) for dinner and banana, blueberry, walnut and butterscotch sauce for dessert.

Pancake Tuesday > Christmas :pac:

You all disgust me. Maple syrup is the only acceptable way to eat a pancake.

Orim

I think you'll find that bacon disagrees.

Wrong if you've seen Super Troopers you would know there is only one acceptable way to eat maple syrup.

Upon hearing loud music outside, my housemate and I decided to make a quick trip to investigate. We set off in the direction of the music, ready to find some sort of street party in the estate opposite.

After walking for about two blocks without the music getting any louder, we realised that we may, in fact, have just been following a car.

So, I just discovered a band called The Pretty Reckless. Heard about the lead singer Taylor Momsen a few times but never actually sought out her vocals before now. I love it! Also, I normally don't go for blondes but DAYUM....! :pac:

I made chocolate chip pancakes for the first time yesterday. Tasted great but they make an awful mess of the frying pan.

Tried that a while back and it does make a mess of the pan.
So hasn't been done since.

I'd love to have one of those circular grills that crepe sellers have on the continent, just dump a load of Nutella onto it and let it melt in.

Just rob one of those crepe stands... they have one in Blanchardstown Centre and Charlestown Centre... can't remember the name but the shop has a picture of a moose!

McChubbin

Never understood the appeal of Nutella. I'm more of a peanut butter person. Nutella is nice enough but it doesn't rock my socks off.
No, blueberry coulis, creme fraiche, maple syrup and crispy bacon on Mam's homemade American-style pancakes. OH GOD YES.

They're in the Ilac too.


Productive day today. Went into town intending to do some shopping at 10am, ended up chatting to a colleague for ages. Boss rocked up and was very impressed at my dedication :pac: Also had a word with him and I no longer have to wear slacks to work, I'm allowed wear black pencil skirts delighted, i despise trousers/jeans!

Then went home, changed and went for a jog (5k), shower, back out to do my mam's food shopping, got some lipstick and lingerie, then home, made dinner for everyone, cleaned up, and now I'm about to pass out from exhaustion. :pac:

How are you all doing?
