Are organs nice in a stir fry? I once tried liver, but it was horrific.

Kidneys are lovely in stir fry.

I've never had liver that I liked. My mum told me that it's because I've never had liver cooked properly, and she didn't like it when I pointed out that I've only ever had liver cooked by her!

Heart tastes a bit like liver, but less strong and with a better texture.

I've used liver before , but overcooked it. Bleugh.

As it was marinaded so long there wasn't a massively strong flavour off it but I literally just flash fried it in the pan as it would be like eating rubber otherwise. Even at that, the heat of the veg on top continued to cook some of the meat at the bottom of the plate so were a little tough when I got to them.

I can't seem to find broad beans in supermarkets. Where did you get them?

Do you just boil the broad beans? OH finds them very strong, can only have them in soups etc.

I grow my own. The only way of getting them apart from the yukky ones in tins

I never buy the ones in tins. But I can't seem to find frozen one.

I've gotten frozen broad beans in Marks & Spencer before. Admittedly at least 2 years ago but they did have them

I'm fairly sure M&S do.

Anyone know where I can get frozen edamamme?

Asia Market, Drury St if you're in Dublin

Got two little packets of fresh ones in Marks for 1.90, they have such a short season. I've found frozen ones in Eurasia on Fonthill Rd before too.

My local Supervalu (Grange, Cork) has bags of frozen broad beans.

Evening. Tonight and last night the same thing. Off on holliers tomorrow and cleaning out the fridge. A leek, the last of the Ikea burgers, some Philadelphia and for yesterday only, wilted wild garlic leaves. Worked a treat.

MissFlitworth, you mentioned Fallon and Byrne a page or two a go. I went in last Saturday for the Elerberry Cordial and was looking for a little 100ml bottle. The recipe calls for 2 tbsp only. Anyway, I gave up and asked a girl that worked there, so I was directed to the right rack. 750ml. Like a bottle of wine. Nice shape on the bottle,btw. And nice taste, before I've come down with vicious cold. Where my head feels blocked, but is running like crazy. Not ideal with a very long Lufthansa flight tomorrow. Be grand. Atchoo!!!!

Mrs Fox

I deserve this all to myself after a looooooong hard day. Gluten-free pizza gamberetti from the local Italian. So good.

No pic but we had large mushrooms marinated in balsamic and Worcestershire sauce and fried with a pot on top of them to compress them to about 1cm thick. Very nice - an excellent meat substitute.

Got home from 13 hour shift to find that my OH had made proper ramen from scratch, from our new Japanese Soul Food cookbook, almost as tasty as what we had in Japan on hols but nothing will ever really compare! Second pic is himself polishing his bowl off properly!

Many Polish shops keep (mature) frozen broad beans

Ham hock and chips. Lovely, lovely chips.

DIY Taco Saturday. Carnitas, salsa verde, tomato salsa (I need to buy some actual bowls and retire my Mother Hubbards mug from 'tableware'), feta, cheddar and a range of crunchy vegetables, not-quite-pickled-yet-but-turned-out-to-be-my-favourite-part-of-the-meal onions and corn tortillas. Also, behold my 'tortilla warmer' aka 2-tea-towels-and-a-sheet-of-foil. Tortilla chips on the side of getting salsa directly into mouth. Was a very good meal. Felt very smug after because, for one of the first times ever, I managed to eat carnitas without having a portion so large I had the meat sweats.

Safe trip! And remember what I said about taking RAKES of photos of your meals in Japan and sharing them in the dinner thread! I plan on taking a tip vicariously through you

Last night we had pulled brisket chilli from the slow cooker.

You wouldn't have a recipe for that marinade, would you?

Is that in Dublin or where? Looks great.

Looks fantastic. What are the ingredients?

Sunday Roast. I can't move.

Made a lovely mushroom pie with a beer and onion gravy, in homemade suet pastry. With peas and chips, and the leftover beer. I managed to put a little too much pepper in the gravy, but other than that it was a full success.

Last night was spinach and mushroom quiche with a sweet potato crust and a side salad.

Tonight is home made red curry with cauliflower rice.
