The pickings were slim, but I’m going to go with:   

“look at it, it’s like a fucking pair of knickers”

In fact, the best lines tonight came out of the contestants.  My favourite was Ben’s “You couldn’t cook my dick” – at least I thought it was dick.  Dumbass Fox censors!

I had a ton of fun looking up Ramsey-isms to go in this. Some brilliant quotes were simply too long to add in. Best one: “Fuck off you, you fat, useless, sack of fucking yankee-dankee doodle shite.”

That kills me every time I read it!

Back to bingo – I’ll confess I haven’t played it much – the idea of a room full of women with lucky trolls terrifies me. I assume there are drinking variants but am too lazy to look up the rules (having spent way too long finding the above quote again) so we’ll say do a shot each time you get a line. And maybe a bonus if you get Forrest Gump – like another shot. Yes, I have no imagination.

I’ll be keeping my ears open for another good quote tomorrow night – maybe we’ll do a weekly “best Ramsey-ism”.

tastiest idea ever

I’ve been hearing about this tortillas for a short while now – par-baked tortillas you finish off at home. My curiosity got the better of me tonight and I popped by Nancy’s Cheese to pick some up and stock up on cheddar.

Nancy (at least I think it was Nancy) informed me they sell as fast as she can stock them. When I came in there was only one package of small flour tortillas left, but they normally also stock corn tortillas. Corn! In Canada!

She told me that they froze well too, which I said was great considering I’m taking off on Holiday in a few days. She said that they may not last that long. My goodness!

All you need to do is put them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds. You see it bubble and start to brown slightly which, I’ll admit, produced a bit of a giddy feeling.

40 seconds later, I was filling them with cheese and tossing them back on. The results were mouth watering. Nancy was right, these won’t last long at all. Every dinner until Sunday (except for tomorrow since I won’t be home) will be tortilla based, dammit!

See my ugly plates

The picture is a bit underwhelming, but this was majorly tasty! I balanced out the cheesiness with a simple cucumber and red onion salad tossed in olive oil and red wine vinegar.
