Lazy Mondays… Pizza time...

• rolled out the pre-made dough (lazy) to make it thinner (with a beer bottle of course, all class here!), then put it in the pre-heated oven for two minutes to get a tad crunchy...
• grilled courgette + pine nuts
• sliced goat cheese, sliced tempeh, sweet peppers, onion, mozarella, pre-made pizza tomato sauce (did I mention lazy?)

@Graeme:

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I've been looking into getting myself a blender. However, I've also seen that some of the stand mixers, such as the Kenwoods, have blender jug attachments.

How does a blender add-on for one of these compare with a stand alone? Is the added functionality of a stand mixer useful? I've ever used one, so no experience there.

I'd stick with a standalone blender if I were you.  The wife and I have been really happy with our Blendtec.  I was able to buy a refurbished Classic unit for $200 USD shipped with both the Wildside and Twister (for dry items) jars.  It works great for smoothies, sauces, soups, etc.  If you can get one for a fair price, I'd highly recommend one.

The only one I would consider is this:

The chili con carne I cooked for our annual christmas party went down so well, a local restaurant is serving it this week…...

I love chicken and waffles. Something about syrup, and hot sauce. That sweet and savory. Mmm now I'm hungry.

Ok, that was my next question. I figured either sweet or hot, but you guys do both?

Well, I do. I suppose it's down to individual taste. My friend who took me to a real home style OG chicken n waffles spot in Oakland told me to dump both hot sauce and syrup all over it, and I've been hooked on that ever since.

here too.  in this case, the batter is spicy/HOT.

[mikebarhoot]

speaking of combinations…. my favorite is a Ghost Pepper dark chocholate ganash i make to top english shortbread cookies and (Blue Bell) vanilla bean ice cream.

[sabergirl]

That sounds amazingly good.
