Go Faster ................ Loose Weight

Christmas is over and the diet has begun. Those of you that know me know that I like fast bikes. It doesn't matter what you add to a bike to make it go faster the best way to increase speed is to loose something. WEIGHT. So who best to understand my problem than the Hairy Bikers

When I opened this Christmas present. My first reaction was to punch the person who bought it for me who suggested that I need to diet. The second was to try and decide who I most looked like. Perhaps I'm a morph of Si and Dave. Now my third reaction was to open the book. Great recipes well presented. May I suggest that you don't wait (or is that weight) to next Christmas to get this book.

After all that turkey. I thought I would have a go at this dish. All in one spicy pork and rice. Lovely. Is it me or do I now look less big in my leathers?

What's Cooking

I like hot spicy cooking but you cannot blame me for getting the wrong idea from this book.

Sloppy Joes

I always go on about food looking good but what about sounding good as well. Some food with a french name just makes you want to give it taste, but it will probably turn out to be raw horse meat or frogs legs. So does Sloppy Joes fail on looks and sound? I guess yes, but then again food is really about the taste isn't it?

Sloppy Joes is an American favourite. Why do they spell "favourite" "favorite". Another difference between us and our American cousins.

This dish is messy, does not look great but is delicious. A change on a burger. Give it a try I am.
