You do know that the livers are cooked in butter first DJC3?. Puréeing the whole lot is the easy part. Trimming nasty bits off them first is revolting. But that’s a part time vegetarian talking there.
Yes I have made it a couple of times - in the olden days when we used to give dinner parties ( they don’t seem to be such a thing any more - or is it just us who have become antisocial/ unpopular?)
I didn’t mind the cleaning so much - I didn’t enjoy it much either - so long as I had a good pair of scissors. In fact I always used the chopped up liver as an ingredient in stuffing for chicken too.
No idea why it’s the liquidising part which makes me feel queasy.
Now see that looks cute (unlike Peter who's still there).Our female cat used to bring goodies in when I was on night shift at MIM, she used to drag frilly lizards onto my bed while I was trying to sleep. :***:
Here's a pix of a frilly, I did not embed it because of the flak from the nice spider pix, so if you do not like scary don't click the link then whinge about it...

Ewwwww!Evenin’ All,
B: Port Salut
L: smoked salmon pate/mousse (bought, but v LC)
D: oxtail
Got the oxtail on a trip to Tescos, and v glad i went! The fresh butchery counter had oxtails (got 2) and oxcheeks (got 6).
Since then, the instant pot has seen some use:
1 oxtails in, with stock and seasonings.
2 fished out the tails, leaving stock behind
3 added ox cheeks to same stock and cooked
4 took meat off cooled tails
5 took cheeks out of broth and put into freezer containers to cool
6 put bones into broth to cook for bone broth
Tomorrow, when the broth has cooled solid, i will squelch a tablespoon of it over each meat portion ready to freeze
And then drink the rest.
Result:10+ generous carnivore meat portions and 2.5 litres of stock.
Having said all that, am feeling slightly queasy.
Just reached for a cooled mug of herb tea to find a 2 inch slug on the rim.
Vile!!!
I don’t expect to find slugs on my crockery, in my living room.
2 theories, at the mo.
First is that twitty Jasmine the Puppy brought it in to play with on the sofa, and it migrated to the side table. Good job we are worming her regularly, eh?
Second option is that baby slug sneaked in through breeze block, and then grew. Don’t like this theory AT ALL. What has it been doing/eating while it grew. No. No. No. not an option.
Best bought pate I have ever tasted is Morrow Foods chicken liver and brandy. Sainsburys used to stock it but it's a bit hit and miss now. The other really good one from Sainsbury's is Pate pate the fruity chicken one.I’m the same - I enjoy it it it’s made for me but can’t bring myself to actually make it. It’s the liquidising bit which makes me feel a bit queasy.
Thought about a hug for cold and leg pains but ended up giving a winner for the Chelsea Tractor incident. I do hope the cold subsides and bg toes the line.Bed 6.5 FBG 6.4. At least I know why my legs have been so bad and BGs all over the place-I am full of the cold. Caught it from No 2 and his other little friends. Was at the Mousetrap last night too so had to cancel morning Aqua and the day was spent dosing on paracetamol and dozing generally until a hot shower got me semi human. Feeling well under the weather is not a good time to have a go either on the morning school run. One of the lazy, can't be bothered brigade dumped her large 4 x 4 on double yellows, on a bend right where the kids cross before reaching the crossing lady. I couldn't see to cross never mind the kids so I politely pointed out she was blocking the view at the crossing point. I got a mouthful of abuse and she declared "ah can park where the $#@£ I like ah have a disabled badge". Really riled me up so I told her it wouldn't surprise her that I have a blue badge and although you can park on certain double yellows you cannot park on D. Yellows on a bend, on a dropped kerb, on a junction, where you are causing an obstruction and are a danger to others plus she had no physical disabilities and a few of the invisibles she wouldn't be cleared to drive. By the way, abuse of a blue badge is a £1000 fine, cancellation of the badge and potentially a court date. I was greeted with "who the blank do you think you are speaking to" - someone who has no consideration for the children present or the childrens safety so tell you what, I've told you the law and some of the penalties so I'll photograph you, your car and how it's parked and "your" blue badge and I'll phone the police OK? She was off like a shot! Still felt Ill but gee that was good.
After all that
B. TAG with ADOC. 2 slices of that wonderful bread toasted with scrambled egg. It toasts really well.
L. Nothing apart from water and paracetamol.
D. Out pre theatre. 2 large white wine spritzer, bunless burger with melted cheddar, gerkin, salad, slaw and veggie chips. Americano with a little pot of cream.
Loved the Mousetrap and it wasn't the butler - there wasn't one!

Hugs...Oh Maglil55 I am applauding you as I read your post. Well done! It takes guts to confront people these days, everybody seems so rude and aggressive and full of their ‘rights’. Don’t get me started on blue badge abuse! Some friends of my dad carried on using her mother’s blue badge after her death dispite us telling them it was illegal and an appalling abuse. One day they returned from a shoppung trip where they’d parked illegally using the badge, to find their windscreen had been smashed and the badge stolen. They were affronted and couldn’t understand it when we said ‘serves you right!’
Sorry you’re feeling so rough, hope you get better soon. Did the white wine spritzer help at all?
Thank you...@maglil55 and @DJC3 Boob cheese????? The "censor" lets us say that???
@gennepher how about trying the rubber eggs again, use cream or milk if you can, and nuke very slowly on a low temp, in a deepish bowl, stirring every 30 seconds? Even cooking regular eggs in microwave is pretty touch and go for me.
Well, used up my time for tonight. It's play here or sleep. Sleep wins. Goodnight all you good folk! I'll catch up when I retire.
It did - I felt more relaxed but that may have been the combo of wine and paracetamol. I find it really annoying as my disability is very visible but I take the time to park safely even although it's further to walk. You just make sure you allow enough time for my slow pace. Yet these individuals dump their "Chelsea Tractors" anywhere and run across. I am also very aware of the "invisible" disabilities but you know from the way they behave whether they're "at it".Oh Maglil55 I am applauding you as I read your post. Well done!
