I could eat my legs. Raw.
Sorry I haven’t done the comments tonight, my fingers are wasting away and if I type too much they’ll snap off.
I’m going to bed. Hungry. Like the wolf (not Kumblant, the disloyal little fucker).
I hope I don’t eat my bedroom.

/ June 14, 2012If want some actual advice from someone is 242 pounds (but sexy enough for someone to try* to rub one out on this morning on a packed subway car) think “many mini meals.” Have a few bites. Go hit something with a brick (great exercise). Eat a little more. Work on your cross stitch of the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells and Prince Harry dressed as cumberland sausages. If your apetite isn’t completely gone, have a bit more to eat. The trick is to never get starving hungry. But you’ll never be full either.

Here’s what I’ve figured out:
When I eat craploads of veggies..it helps the starving. When I drink lotsa water…it helps. When I look at my sexy-butt jeans I’m working for…I’m motivated.
When I’m grumpy and stressed …it all goes to shite

/ June 15, 2012This is a recipe for hamburgers and not just beef patties. If something is advertised as 100% pure beef burger, then it is not really a hamburger–unless they’re trying to be clever and hope to be able to claim that, while the patties are made with things in the mix, the beef that went into them is indeed 100% pure. This is, of course, not clever since all beef is pure, anything else is a mixture. A true hamburger requires additional goodies which, in my greedy opinion, make for a more nourishing treat.
What you’ll need for 2 big hamburgers or 4 small ones:
500 grams Plain or Lean Beef Mince. The better the mince, the better the hamburger.
2 handfuls Bread Crumbs from day old or older bread. Use the grater. Quality bread, which isn’t like polystyrene, will give the hamburger better density and bite.
2 Large Eggs
1 Small Onion
2 Cloves Garlic
Half Teaspoon Paprika
Salt and Pepper
Oil for frying
(You can fuck around with the spicing, although too much spice can ruin the flavour of the beef. Some recipes also put in a chopped gherkin. You might want to make a lamb hamburger, in which case you can make it with rosemary or mint. You can always go gourmet with lamb and a fruit marmalade. The permutations are dictated by your taste-buds.)
Cooking:
Grate the bread for the crumbs into a mixing bowl. Add in the very finely chopped garlic, the paprika, pepper and, to bring out the flavour of the beef, a decent amount of salt, maybe a level teaspoon but be cautious of adding too much. The onion is the tricker part. It has to be very finely chopped. I’ve been doing this (thanks to a real chef’s advice) by cutting off the flatter end, the root section, and then peeling away the outer layers but leaving the stem at the top for something to hold on to. Then I take a small sharp knife and cut a fine-ish chequerboard into the exposed onion surface and slice finely so that the tiny cubes of onion fall into the mixing bowl. Whisk the two eggs quickly with a fork and then pour them into the mixing bowl. Mix the crumb and eggs mixture quickly before adding the mince. Now get your hands dirty. Mix the mince into the crumb and egg mixture until you can hardly tell the difference between the beef and the egg and onion. It can help to work and shape the mixture if you wet your hands with a little cold water.
Heat about a tablespoon of sunflower or vegetable oil in a large frying pan, at a medium to high heat; should be about three-quarters of the maximum temp–depending on the hob. While the oil heats, shape your burgers, leaving them thick. Plonk them straight into the pan. Don’t press down while they’re cooking, that will force out the succulent juice. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or a bit longer if you want them well done. Serve with a good relish, perhaps a gherkin or two, or a nice dollop of hot English or whole grain mustard.
For a bit of quick chip accompaniment, what I do is chop two potatoes, skins on, into thumb-sized chunks and par boil them. When the hamburgers are finished cooking, you can drain the potatoes and, with a bit of extra oil, throw them into the same pan. They shouldn’t take too long too cook if you turn the hob to its maximum temperature and the small bit of moisture from the boiling should make them nice and crispy. Just keep an eye and try to toss them around so they get even-time on each side on the base of the hot pan. Don’t boil them too much, or they’ll break up when you fry them. Enjoy!
