annwfynLast night was the second of the Cool Kids* new bi-weekly tradition - Fat Night.
Fat Night (which is a name I've just given it, based on what it's done to me the day after on both occasions) is a night when a group of people gather in Feltham. Many bring a dish of some kind, often cooked with their own fair hands. It started two weeks ago, with Curry Night, whenmolez, pierot and housemonkey_tm decided they'd like to share curry recipes, sample each other's cooking, and generally play around with food. The food was fab, and the small group of folk who showed up (myself, astro_dust, wildrogue, castorlion and ksirafai) were exceedingly happy. Well, except Ginnie who nearly died from spice, but we were willing to make that sacrifice. Last night, in order to be kind to Ginnie, we decided to move away from Curry Night, and instead Fat Night was born.
The food was fantastic. There were no real starters, and we just plunged in to the glorious main course - a lovely game stew provided bypierot, which was a mixture of rabbit, pheasant, some venison I think, and a load of veg, mixed up with herbs, spice, cream, and the odd bullet**, and a fantastic spicey pork casserole from molez. I provided a variety of interesting grainy breads, and also some cheese, but no one got round to eating it.
After the main course,astro_dust and wildrogue provided pudding. And lo! It was glorious. Polly made an amazing variant on a fruit salad, with all the fruit mixed up with cream and icing sugar, served in tiny little pots made out of orange shells, and Elle did her astonishingly tasty carrot cake.
anysbryd provided assorted chocolates, and wraithwitch and ksirafai manfully (or womanfully) helped with the eating.
We've got another Fat Night in two weeks, and I need to think of something to cook, instead of just providing shop bought items. I think I need to start hunting through recipe books. I'm pondering trying to practice during the week as well. What do people think of lentil daal?

*by which I mean 'kids who happen to have been hanging around Feltham on a Friday night two weeks ago'. Which probably translates as 'people with nothing better to do on a Friday night', but I feel the need to try and cover up the intrinsic sadness of anyone having a life like that by calling us 'cool'. Look, it makes me feel good!
** It was like CSI Gordon Ramsay while jez was cooking. We could see the bullet hole running through the heart as we gutted the poor beast. That's not normal when preparing your food - normally you get to hold on to your illusions that meat comes from the Meat Tree.
