Ze Armee Thread... Sunday 4th August

Morning - and a g'night to you Zenee. Crab cakes.... I tried to make bean burgers last night, folllwoed recipe to the t and they just turned out like ... well squashed beans all over the frying pan. Didn't stick together at all... crap recipe. And when i lived in Sri Lanka they often misspelled "Crab" with "crap" so menu's would say Crap Cakes and Crap Sandwiches.

Doc - sorry i didn't reply last night - had already gone to me pit.

Race day here...and then i gotta go to Glasgow where there are rehearsals for this performance poetry gig... I'm in 2 minds about it. Mind 1: I think the pieces are polemical, naive and frankly cringe worthy. I don't enjoy them, it's not "me", I'm wasting my time and if people i know saw me they'd likely think "WTF is he doing, doing that?"and I should just reclaim my Sunday arvo's this August and give my excuses and go... Mind 2: I've said I'd do it, so I ought to just do it... and being part of a group at a performance gig will make it easier to meet others at it... and you never know... maybe from it you might meet someone else who will take you down an interesting trajectory... you never know... MInd 3 I back out, but still attend the gig... but then that's not definite, cos I DONT HAVE TO... where as if i've to perform then I have to g and would go...

Sunday musings.... right now through, it's shower, food and an hour drive to the race....

Happy Sunday all...

Hewwo there my favourite Scottish bloke on the thread.

I say... do what you want. If it's too much of a travel, can the whole gig. If you're enjoying it, keep on at it. No need to overthink this one me luv... you can do whatever you feel like doing. Pretty much what you can do now with your life and career... YOU are in the driving seat. ;o)

I'm not sure about the bean cakes. I would think you need a couple of eggs to bind them. I used an extra egg with the crab cakes instead of breadcrumbs. And two feckin fish slices to turn them. I used to be a Chef and know what prolly happened... bean cake oozing in the pan... but I've never made bean cakes so no real input... soz. Processed beans on their own won't bind though. They will however make you fart so I hope you at least got a toot out of it! :H :new:

Morning Zen or goodnight lol and morning to Rc and all to come. Well I hope you make good decesions regarding your sunday rc. I did some retail therapy yesterday. I bought a maxi dress in the sales and a beach towel for the holiday. Then in to Lidl for few items. Not sure what i'll do this afternoon depends on the weather. Heavy showers for cast and I got caught in the rain yesterday while. I might go to Dundrum Shopping mall for more holiday wear in the sales or else stay home and watch tv/dvd. The buses are on strike indefinite from today and the Luas and Dart are about 25 min walk away so I hope it doesn't drag on too long. You have been busy Zen. A lot of gardening to catch up on here. Have a super sunday.:handbag:out::cents

Good morning Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzennie, D'Arsey and Foxy

Slept in today. Need to make my 2nd attempt at the weekly shop, though. Not sure what'll be on the menu today. Probably a curry.

Have to make a start on a presentation that I have to do next week. It's to a so-called SIG (special interest group) for the part of the IT industry I mostly operate in. Better make it good - who knows what may come out of it further down the line if I need to start looking for a job.

Have a lekker day, folksies!

Marnin' again T-t-t-tipps (feckin st-t-t-utter...)

What I know about presentations can be summed up very quickly... Powerpoint and knowing yer subject inside out. I hope it goes well. When will you know if they're making staff changes?

It's amazing how companies demand employee loyalty but don't return the favour. Highly suckfull. I'm hoping you will be OK though and I have my fingers crossed for you... X

Marnin Satzy! I don't follow recipes so have no quantities for you but the ingredients are lump crab, finely chopped onion, spring onions, red bell pepper, garlic, fresh dill and cilantro, eggs and Creole seasoning. Basically fry the onions, red pepper and garlic... beat the eggs in a big bowl, add the fresh herbs, spring onions and crab to the eggs then mix in the fried onions/red pepper and Creole seasoning and some black pepper... form into balls and fry. I know how you like to fry balls... you will have a blast! :H Yeah... salmon would work very well. I would cook it first, very lightly. It's hard to do fish/crab cakes without breadcrumbs but it can be done. I use two fish slices to turn them.

Oh, forgot to mention... chop the dill and cilantro and spring onions. Reckon you'd have sussed that though... lol

LOVE it . Sounds yummy - even if they fell apart.
Do you use coconut oil for frying ?

What is cilantro known as here Zenners ?

Shite... is it corriander over there?

I absolutely cheat on this recipe Satz and I fry the onions, garlic and bell pepper in butter. :wow: I reckon lump crab deserves the Kerrygold! But I fry the cakes themselves in olive oil. I'll bet coconut oil would work good. I have another tin of crab meat and I'll do the next lot in coconut oil and see how that turns out.
