Friday five

[lnr]

For once I like the sound of this:

1. Name five things in your refrigerator.
Houmous, milk, cheddar, paté, bacon

2. Name five things in your freezer.
pizza, icecream, icecubes, chicken breasts, chips

3. Name five things under your kitchen sink.
Kitchen roll, a bucket, a brush called basil, washing machine liquid, dusters

4. Name five things around your computer.
cuddly duck, 2 empty mugs, a dried rose in the pencil pot, a box of matches, silver sellotape

5. Name five things in your medicine cabinet.
Unused fluoxetine, ibuprofen, plasters, germoline, TCP

• Refrigerator: a packet of green beans, some fresh dill, a foil package of oven-steamed haddock that I meant to make into pate today but was too lazy, jars of mushroom ketchup (one of which belongs to julietk), about half a pint of passata that I should use up soon - suggestions welcome.
• Freezer: salmon, tuna, John Dory, sea bass, plaice (I had a visit from the men with a white van full of fish and failed to say no)
• Under kitchen sink: not enough pan scourers (there are never enough pan scourers; those things get filthy very quickly in a house of four), bin bags, dishwasher tablets, all the other shit that lives under kitchen sinks and isn't very interesting.
• Around computer: this one's a laptop and is on my lap. So I guess me, a duvet, a blanket, the current knitting, a glass of white wine.
• Medicine cabinet: we don't really have one, but there's a cupboard in the bathroom with various leftover medications like paracetamol.

Personally I'd combine the haddock, green beans and passata and bake it, maybe with some mashed potatoes (for fisherman's pie). I like tomato and fish in combination, especially with lots of black pepper.

That would be a great suggestion, except the haddock, green beans (uncooked - I bought too many) and passata are leftovers from the fish baked with potatoes that I made for a few friends the other night :)

I bet you'd like that recipe - check it out.

LOL. Well, yes, in that case you'll need to think of something else... that recipe does sound lovely, I might have to try that soon (have bookmarked it).

Green beans mash well in non-potato mashes (chickpea-based, mainly). Or they go nicely in a chicken-and-cream pasta sauce.

Ours isn't really a medicine cabinet either, just a plastic box which lives in the cupboard above the stairs. The man selling fish sounds cool.

We have a drawer by imc's side of the bed, a pile of things by my side, a non-locking cabinet in the bathroom which is way too small to actually be useful, and a slightly larger non-locking one which is currently in smallclanger's room. Then there's the baby box. Despite all this, I would be unable to locate a painkiller at short notice...

We must get a locking one and/or move everything out of toddler reach fairly soon.

That would be "a non-prescription painkiller" - I don't think any guest should take my voltarol or co-codamol for a hangover, for instance.

Where's the vegetables? :p

[brrm.livejournal.com]

Potatoes are vegetables. So's ketchup. :P

[lnr]

I didn't mention veg either, did I get away with it through having houmous maybe? Not that there's any left now. There are veg in the fridge too mind.

[kake]

Ah, I was just teasing Art. He has a life-long fear of vegetables.

I forgot to mention — I watched the Basil Brush Show with 2shortplanks the other day. We enjoyed it tremendously. The flipping Tivo cut off the last five minutes though, so we never got to find out whether Basil managed to get control back from the evil Cousin Mortimer.
