Things I’m Currently Into Meme

I was tagged by the lovely and very talented dovtorwho​  Thank you so much! And sorry for taking a while to post this.I’ve tried to put completely different answers to these questions to a previous post [x] where possible

One song:

“Dear Darlin’” by Ollie Murs (because that’s what I’m listening to at this very second)

Two movies:

In Bruges -- Awesome film about two Irish assassins, with a heart-breaking  ending

Wild Target – hilarious underrated crime caper starring Bill Nighy,     Emily Blunt and Rupert Grint; with appearances from Rupert Everett, Eileen Atkins and Martin Freeman. There are quite a few such British films that need some more love and appreciation but I thought I’d opt for this one

Three TV shows:

Doctor Who – it’s far too late to stop this addition now….

Homes Under The Hammer – unforgivable, I know, I’ve no excuse beyond this being additive daytime television that I’ve tried to wean myself off

Mock the Week – satirical panel show about current affairs mixed with witty one-liners. What’s to hate?

Four video games: eek! I don’t play video games, sorry. They tend to make me feel queasy.

Five foods:

Chocolate soufflé – one of my favourite things to make but I probably love eating it even more (hate the washing up afterwards)

Fish fingers – when grilled or baked, they are my ‘go to’ default food

Hot cross buns – especially the apple and sultana ones that M&S does. Yum!

Crumpets – especially if grilled and served with set honey

Roast turkey – it is coming up to my favourite time of year because I can indulge this craving with ease

Six people – namelessvany​, ngo2013, fuckyeahtatennant, smackalicious, ackabulaka, and justanothertenlover.

Once you get this you have to share 6 random facts about yourself and then pass it on to your 10 favorite followers :)

Hello ngo2013! Thank you for asking me this.

I wangled my way on to a school trip to see the Enterprise space shuttle once. 

My favourite chocolate bar is a Lion Bar, but it is extremely hard to get hold of one; so if you ever hear me squeal in a shop it’s probably because I’ve just found a healthy supply. 

Give me internet access to my bank account and I can conquer the world!! Or at least defer loads of financial disasters...

I keep having a sudden craving for crunchy peanut butter this week. The last time anything similar happened to me, I was pregnant. EEK!! *assures myself that can’t be the case*

As much as I hate to say it, a small part of me always dies when I see the term “crack!fic” applied in a story summary

I own the sum total of three things that are pink: sandals, Converses, and a Race For Life t-shirt.

Actifry's are great and healthy..well healthier. They do really nice garlic potatoes as well. I've tried doing onion rings in a deep fat fryer. It didn't go down very well. Oops. Dominoes sounds lovely. I managed to find things in the freezer.

You're really selling this Actifry to me now. *seriously considers it*

Nowadays I grill or bake stuff rather than fry; or use the non-stick wok to saute stuff. You're onion rings didn't work in the deep fat fryer? I'm sorry to hear that, as I've only had successes with them in the past.

Oh good that you found something suitable in the freezer, otherwise I would have felt duty bound to offer you a few slices of leftover pizza (it's barbecue chicken, and pepperoni, if you're interested)

If you try them put them in the Actifry (if you’ve got one.) the outside crips up but they’re still fluffy inside. I’m off to look what I’ve got available…some imagination might have to come into play. Hmmm.. Oh that’s upsetting. Get the chips

Sadly, I haven't got an Actifry. I did own a deep fat fryer some years ago, but I got rid of it when it became increasingly clear that I wasn't using it anymore (I used to do all my own chips, battered fish, chicken goujons, doughnuts, crispy noodles and prawn crackers). 

Since I wrote back to you earlier I'm afraid I fell sound asleep, so my son ordered Dominoes pizza for dinner. It was yummy, but it's a sad indication about my cooking these days. ;)

I forgot to put on me that I like Aldi's frozen chips... Mayonnaise tends to be the norm now with some salted chips...I still haven't had lunch. Fish and chips sounds good now.

Are they good then? I haven't tried their frozen chips, you see. But I'd be very willing to try them on your recommendation.

You still haven't had lunch?! I dunno... *shoos you towards the kitchen* Go and eat, love, before you feel faint. You're a growing lass who needs her food. Especially if it contains  decent balance between proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and omega 3, etc. 

The fish fingers I had were a little disappointing (I think they'd been in the freezer too long) but never mind, eh. 

[basmathgirl]

I'm going to ask you the same question. What do you like with your chips and what would you never put them with?

Ooh, you minx, ngo2013 throwing this back at me!

Rightio. First off, I want to stipulate that my ideal chip is a proper chip shop  chip that’s thick and not those skinny wannabes from places like McDonalds or Burger King. Something crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

*tries not to drool as I realise I haven’t had lunch yet*

There was a time I would always reach for the Heinz tomato sauce bottle, but these days I have salt, vinegar and salad cream or mayonnaise. Yes, the European in me is peeping out. ;) I also quite like Pizza Express’s garlic and herb sauce, but I tend to save that for potato wedges. 

Like you I am also rather partial to grated cheese, or gravy (especially if it is M&S steak pie gravy. YUM!!); and I’ll even have a curry sauce when the mood takes me. Lately I’ve been brought around to liking mushy peas. Well, it certainly surprised me! I detested peas for decades, you see. 

As for what I wouldn’t put on them, hmm… There isn’t much I would turn my nose up at. One of these would be Pappa John’s honey and mustard sauce - yuck! And I tend to avoid sauces liberally laced with chillies because I have a side effect with my medication that causes it to be more painful than normal if something is too spicy. 

And on that note, I am going to go and do myself some fish fingers. It’s a cultural stereotype, but I love fish and chips, in any form. ;)

Always drag it up! Be very amused by it. I know I would.

Ha ha ha! I will certainly do that. And if I don't his brothers definitely will. :)
