Bored with Butties roundup

[Muzorewa]

Well, I’ve enjoyed doing this little lot, I never intended it to go on as long as it has but I received all sorts of encouragement from people at meetings, some who haven’t posted on any of the various threads, who said they look forward to Fridays to see what I’ve rustled up.

So, as a handy reference to save you having to search, here’s a summary of the year’s culinary delights with links, just on the off-chance that you might be as crazy as me and want to try them yourselves....

Many thanks Muz ! A really outstanding series.

I certainly have enjoyed looking for them at the end of each week, I think I'm going to put the whole series into a separate file and keep it on the Laptop for those evenings when "Evil Edna" has come to the conclusion that Navigating isn't as hard as driving all day, and that its my turn to do the cooking when we are out, a stash of the less common spices might be needed tucked away somewhere at the back of the cooker I think

Your first 5 Phases have been pruned

[Barrington]

Ditto

[Muzorewa]

Your first 5 Phases have been pruned

...and 21 to 24 inclusive

But I can repost them easy depending on anyone's appetite for rice in squid ink and other delights

[g8dhe]

Yes please ! I'm up to Phase 42 in the Word document so far to keep in the van

[Muzorewa]

....so you need 1-5 and 21-24 reposting?

[friendeedebs]

Paul,

Theres been no threads that the members have looked forward to every week,exept this one,so ,for me this is ............................

Without a doubt, is the best thread on the forum for the last 12 months,well done and PLEASE do some more

Brian ,and all your Bongofury foodie followers

[g8dhe]

....so you need 1-5 and 21-24 reposting?

Please, if anyone else (and Muz is happy about it ?) I'll make the file available perhaps as a PDF once its finished.

[Muzorewa]

Ok, those ones reposted (sounds like Showaddywaddy reissuing their back catalogue )

No problem with them being used for peaceful Bongo cooking in fields

[technophobe]

Heh Muz!
Brilliant year's work. Why don't you take it to a publisher, you have already done all the work and the pictures - could be a winner.
Happy Christmas

[mobilecat]

Muz you are wonderful, but me thinks you have a little too much time on your hands!

[g8dhe]

Right got them all, just a bit of layout work to get them nicely onto whole pages etc. I'll post back up here when its completed.

[tommywelly]

Paul fridays will never be the same from now on, really enjoyed your offerings & looked foreward to seeing what culanary delights were on the menu each week.. Wishing you & yours a great Bongoing 2011

Regards Irene

[Muzorewa]

As has been said previously, I've enjoyed doing them, and even more eating them. Well, some of them

I'll do the odd one in the New Year, a kind of encore, anything to get rid of the rest of the turkey

Oddly enough Mrs Muz bought me a cookery book for Christmas so I might have to subject you to a few offerings from there. Plus, the long-awaited Half-Canned Cooks is now published at Lupe Pinto's, which is where Muzette & I are headed tomorrow. I know, I know, Edinburgh isn't exactly around the corner but food is food and we're out of mole sauce as well
