Thread: Lunch ... the second course

I have that same model of toaster.

The eject button doesn’t work, I have to force up contents with the forcerupper lever thingy.

Didn’t actually use it for the bruschetta.

Also, I believe I’m so good that I inspire the likes of PAG with my culinary awesomeness.

He will probably post Bruschetta within the next 12 hours.

His will be better.

Doesn't it eject if you just plug it out?

Welcome to Mumsnet. I too have the same toaster. You'll be pleased to know that my ejector works just fine.

With such a poster eject problem, I usually ask the wife to put a fork down into the slot and bring the bread up...

(yes, metal fork)

I'd green'd Dirk earlier, and commented that I'd made pico de gallo for supper this evening. I slice up a baguette, brush both sides with olive oil and crisp up in the oven, then when cool rub a raw garlic clove over one of the surfaces.

^^ Best to ask her directly from a shower while the feet are still wet.

Indeed.

Mendip has an issue that the numbers wiped off his convection oven, so he can't properly set the time or temperature.


It's too late for him now.

But we had a similar thing happen before, so as soon as it started, we got a stanley knife and etched one notch at the 100c point on the dial, 2 for 200c and so on, then did the same for the timer dial. 1 score on the 10 minute mark, 2 on the 20, and on.

Problem nipped in the bud. Surprised that a bloke that's work around engineers etc on offshore ships and platforms for 50 years+ never thought of it, to be honest.



(just bing'ed our toaster, plugged it out, and it auto-ejected faster than Mendo on a Bangkok passport run, btw)

^^ Excellent advice.

Dirk's food looks very nice, but unexpected. Where's the deep fried mars bar? Is TD turning into a bistro group - the food is what I remember of Upper Street places in Islington.

It’s just tomatoes on toast mate.

Home baked, obviously.

Mine doesn’t work well. But can kinda force it.

Hey Armstrong and other Brit fast food lovers. I keep seeing this in adds while browsing.



"Lamb meat for Doner Kebab", 150 grams, B145 at the British shop.

They sell it in the Brit shop near me. It's decent.

Bruschetta after a load of ale.

Did you put an umbrella in it too?

Wife and I enjoyed some Vietnamese Pho noodle.

How was it? It looks good, but the colour of the broth doesn’t seem as deep as I might expect an authentic pho to have?

A sausage, baked bean and cheese bake, on the move.

A working lunch.

Where’s the sausage?

^ I've heard that before!

It was under the beans.

Quite delish DW. In fairness the broth was a bit richer in color after I mixed the noodles up and added the Hoisin sauce and chili paste. I do like me a good bowl of Pho Tai...

The kid's picked up a hankering for homemade cheese toasties served with Lay's British Cheddar Cheese crisps.


You weren't hanging around Sathorn circa mid-2012 by any chance Armo.

Chong Nongsi around that time. She didn't work for a well known shipping company did she?
