You grumpy old sod Tom.    :lol:

Oops, slipped into work mode there for a moment.

Can someone tell me how best to caramelise a carrot?

Cut your carrots into juliennes. Get a large piece of foil, pile in your carrots, either sprinkly with brown sugar or drizzle with honey. Chuck in some butter or splodge on some macadamia nut oil. Scrunch up and seal the foil loosely so that there is some air around the carrots. Fling the parcel in the oven for at least an hour on 190 C (gas 5?).

This diet lark is affecting my reading skills....for a few minutes all I could see in the above text was "Cut up your carrots"....

....then it all became mouth-wateringly clear....except for the two instances of the word "or"....they still look like "and"....

Once again, what a forum!  How many other music forums are there where you'd a) be allowed to post an off-topic cooking query and b) get a proper answer within a day?

Let's start a wine club.

[Jem]

Hurrah! I'm in.

[Bert]

Let's start a wine club.

Or a whine club ?

Wine's fine. I'm there  

I donlt like to talk about this much, but I own a vineyard...  

... well, when I say vineyard, I mean a row of vines...  

... actually when  I say own I really mean pay for the privilege of having my name attached to a row of vines in a vineyeard...  :?

You'd have thought I got wines free, but I donlt, I have to pay for it.  

Anyway, cracking idea. Are you going to set up a thread Nellie ?

Do you mean like....."Let's start a wine club" sort of thread.
Someone else can decide which wines to get and I won't join in on the whites as they don't agree with my head  
Shall we get cheese and/or biscuits too?

I was thinking of buying shares in a vineyard, where's yours  Bert? (Not in your garden I hope :lol: )

[Pedro]

Bit of a luddite when it comes to plonk (see what I mean?).
I've guzzled a fair amount of it in my time but I don't know all the names etc.
We tend to prefer whites or rosés to reds (i.e. grape juice is preferable to vinegar). White Grenache, being rosé in appearance is always nice.
But haveing said all that, we haven't had very much of any sort of wine, fruit-based drink or even fruit juice since the waist reduction scheme kicked off.
So a wine club thread would be guaranteed to get no serious input from me....

[rogerg]

I prefer German whites, because reds give me a headache.  8-)

[Nellie]

It's going well so far :roll:

[Bert]

It's going well so far :roll:

LOL    

I think we might need Tomskerous. I believe he may be a guru.

Excellent addition re Cheese.  

[Trapezium Artist]

It's going well so far :roll:

Glad you think so. We'll have a business plan put together in a jiffy at this rate.  

Then again, it's said that the best way to end up with a fortune making wine is to start with two fortunes, so bugger the business plan.

Big fat tasty reds please, merlot, syrah, carmenere, cabernet, although I'll let pinot noir in too at a pinch.

Then again, a decent Frascati drunk in a cave in Frascati is hard to beat. Can we make it a wine-travel club ... ?

I think this has got legs you know...
