An assortment of fresh fruit diced/sliced
Banana/strawberrys/melons anything really.
You will need...

Brown sugar/Rum/Whiped creme and a gel flame thing..

With a skewer or fork, pick a piece of fruit, dip it in the rum, roll it around in the brown sugar, hold over flame to caramelise then dip in the creme and eat.
Simple and ohhhhhhhhh soooooooo yum.

I love this reciepe too.

Enjoy it almost every weekend

However I've found it tastes better if you leave out the Bananas, Brown sugar and the Whipped Cream.

It cracks me up the number of dudes my ages that cant cook anything more than a pot of water.

And its funny that some people NEED reipes to cook, if you are after a specific flavor sure use the printed word, other wise just have a go, cook it till you feel its cooked, eats it, my precious.

Its not rocket science

Dice and semi cook some spuds.
Cook some macaroni elbows in water.(even amount of both these 2)
Fry some onions.

Mix and spread all 3 in a roasting dish,and grate ya fav' cheese on top and bake till cheese is golden.

You can add bacon,mixed veges,corn,or what ever tickles ya fanny,but i prefer to keep it basic.

Best thing about this recipe,is frying up the leftovers the next day.(in butter of course.)

If you look hard and long, you can sometimes get Eye Fillet in the piece for a reasonable price...check out New World Glenview if you are in Hamiltron...they have export stuff at times that is very affordable.

Marinade the piece of fillet in red wine, olive oil, crushed garlic, bit of mustard, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, freshly ground black pepper, pinch of salt if you like. Leave for as long as you can - overnight is cool but four hours will do it OK. Vary portions to your own taste.
Poke it into an oven bag and bake in the oven until rare - time varies with the size of the piece. A meat thermometer is good for this.
Serve with roasted veg that have been done in BEEF DRIPPING (essential!)...plus whatever greens you like. Make a red wine gravy with the juices in the oven bag. You can do it with flour etc if you like or else use a Maggi Instant Gravy Mix for Dark Meat sachet and use some red wine as well as the meat juices.
This is a good old fashioned roast that is guaranteed to blow your cholesterol levels up sky-high...but it's bloody good. Favourite winter dinner of Little Petal and Slofox...

You like curry? Crispy spuds? Try this ;

Scrub and chop spuds (skin on) roughly into 30-40mm pieces and boil with plenty of salt until about half cooked. Drain water and leave lid off and element on very low to get rid of as much water as possible.

In a very heavy frying pan, heat a couple tablespoons of oil until smoking hot, and cook the spuds in batches until well browned. Drop them in, and leave them to fry until well browned, and then flip thm over. Resist the temptation to flip them heaps, coz they wont brown.

When the spuds are nearly done, roughly chop two onions and hiff them in and fry fast and hot, stirring to prevent burning. Leave the pan on high heat - cook 3-4 minutes.

Tip plenty of your favorite curry powder on top with all the spuds and onions in the pan, add lots of salt, cook another 2 minutes and serve, or eat the lot yourself.

This is damn tasty - crispy and spicy, and costs next to nothing.
