Drop in a little, Have a virtual drink on the house. There's Islay Isle
Laphroaig straight out the barrel, Margaritas on tap, Some nice counter lunches
to.

Talk about anything you want to, kick the jukebox, have a sauna, use the love
nest upstairs. Anything goes, except NOBODY CAN BE NASTY TO ANYBODY.

I'm here! Where are the tunes??? 8-)

Dangaroon - I can't post any links or media until I've posted 10 messages... That's OK, you're all probably sick of my highjacking posts to play music! :-X

Hi Katus, fancy nice girls like us meeting in a joint like this. ;D
I'll just have a couple while you get the jukebox going. ;)

I have at least 7 more posts before I can pump up the jukebox...

Thanks Smithy, reckon Katus is bopping away, got any R&B or C&W for moi?? ;D ;D

That's strange my selection keeps coming up as the dead kennedys again. Maybe if I pu8t this spacer in it wont happen. :D I think Smithy'll go for it.

WOOO! music! I have 5 more posts to go before you are subjected to my taste! hooorah!

Cyndi's still got it! And "I see red" is a childhood fave. Not a big fan of the Sex Pistols and everytime I hear that music from Deliverance it creeps me out! haha

(OK, I admit it, I'm just making small talk now to boost my post numbers. Perhaps I should go find another topic that I can say something interesting on? lol)

What did you think of the clash clip Katus?

I think on a rainy Sunday that would be a perfect music choice! If I still partook of the whacky tabacky that would be even better! lol :o

I've never really listened to the Clash before. I've only heard stuff that mum listened to when I was growing up or that I've stumbled across over the years.

That's why I like it when people post music - I love to discover new stuff to add to my collection :) I should have hung out with musos more when I was younger!

YAY! I can finally post music but now I can't decide which one to do! :-/

The Clash were the only white band in Jamaica's reggae hall of fame for many years, still as far as I know. While you make your mind up here's another bit of reggae. Now mind this is from the early 70's.

Here y'ar Parra! I know it's not C & W but I don't know any C&W songs that I would post under my name! hee hee

There we go - I posted my first song here! YAY ME!

Here in the Anarchist restaurant we specialise in the cheap and cheerful. At this time of year people are often faced with a surplus of basil. One way to use up your basil is making pesto another is to make up a good store of ragu or Italian sauce. This is how to make a good batch of Neapolitan sauce which differs from Bolognese in having more vegtables especially basil and tomato (more reasdily available in the south of Italy with its warmer climate).

To make a really flavouful sauce it's best not to take short cuts. First make your soffrito. You'll need -

3 Large onions
4 medium carrots
A half cup of chopped Lovage leaves (substitute celery but use more)
1 large red capsicum
A handful of parsley
A desertspoonful of chopped garlic (more or less to taste)
As much basil as you want stripped off the stalk, (flower and leaf, a large soup bowl full)

Dice finely by hand. Melt 50 gms. of butter into a good splash of olive oil in a large wok on a modest flame, don't burn, if it gets too hot take it off and let the butter melt in its own time. put all the vegtables in and mix constantly with wooden spoons over a high flame until warmed through. Then put on a low heat and cover with a lid, using a heat diffuser if neceassary to prevent burning. Stir occasionaly.

While that's cooking, put a couple of tins of diced tomato into a frypan with a cup of red wine and cook until reduced to a sludge. When the soffrito is cooked, (you want the onions cooked to translucent but not browned) tip into a large mixing bowel and take some of the oils from the top of the liquid to start the meat off. Put that back into the wok and cook off any water then add 1.5 kilo ground beef and four chopped rashers of good bacon. Turn the heat on full and keep stirring and turning until the meat is browned. If the meat has been overwatered by the bastards making money move the meat up the side of the wok and let the liquid collect in the bottom. You don't want to stew the meat. Either reduce to oils or if there's a lot of water ladle it out. You can put it back later. Then keep stirring the meat until it's nicely browned.

Is the tomato reduced enough? Have you added enough salt and pepper? Okay when the tomato's thick put all the ingredients together back in the wok and simmer with a lid on (and diffuser underneath if necessary) and leave for at least half an hour, BUT first check how much liquid there is. You don't want your sauce wishy washy and if you've followed the instructions it wont be. Neither do you want it too dry. So it's best at this stage to have some chicken stock or red wine handy to keep it moist.

After taste testing you can also consider adding chopped black olives, anchovies or sardines, capers, black oyster sauce etc.

This makes at least two kilo of sauce which I bag into small freezer bags of 250 grammes and pack into 2 litre icecream containers (four to a container). It's versatile, you can use it on spag, or make lasagne, have it with baked or Nuked potato or stuff a pancake. Who needs expensive take away?

Chop some vegies, stir until covered with oil, (canola will do) sear in a wok and chuck in a cup of sherry with a spoon of cornflower. <ducks>

Duck did I say duck? Yep serve with duck ;D

"Dear Mr Barry Obama, President of the USA,

Congratulations on your successful mission to kill the king of the moslems the awful Osama Bin Liner.We are all very happy here,but please next time could you please consider that here in Australia we were watching Cheese Slices at the time and don't appreciate any interruption.Some of Jeeves and Wooster was also missed but we do appreciate the fact that you left The Monarch of the Glen to run to it's conclusion.
But please in future when killing people of significance could you consider the TV guides of your allies.Otherwise we may have to have another look at that ally status.

Yours Always
Australia" - by AnnaLyze

We must get Anna back on board Beyond.

"King of the Moslems?" I really don't think we need A/L around here. She'll only insist we install pokies to keep her awake between posts.

"King of the Moslems?" Would you think that to see that as highly ironic would be presumptuous Earle?
