What have you had for dinner

[Mottie]

Pan fried sea bass, stir fry vegetables and rice.

I tracked a number down, varying in price from £50, to £220. Well beyond what I was willing to pay, to fix it, and quite ridiculous for such a simple part. I fired off several enquiries, and managed to source one for £22, delivered free, so that's on order.

Yesterday, I found that the initial flame, wasn't adequate to heat the thermocouple, to open the FFV, but I could get the oven to work normally, if I heated the thermocouple with a blowtorch, it would then work normally. The FFV, was obviously intended to pass enough gas, even when closed, to heat the thermocouple, but wasn't allowing enough gas through to do the deed.

The new/replacement Flame Failure Valve was delivered this morning, so we pulled the gas oven out, yet again, to install it. Avril was in the midst of organising a Chicken Supreme for dinner, on the hob, above the oven - so it was a case of raising the hob, oven out, hob back in place so she could continue the cooking the CS, plus helping me fit the rather awkward FFV.

FFV fitted, oven tested, working now exactly as it should, then eased back into place.

You mucky pup. Is that a can of de-icer I see on the dash? In July?

DIY gas, naughty...

ha ha, yes it is. This is the standby hoist. My new one is due to be with me end of next week, I am using this until it gets delivered. I will be bringing that de icer with me though,

Fish, chips, mushy peas, B&B, and tea - has to be tea, with F&C's. The fish, was Lidl's beer battered haddock, home cooked. It had been passable, other times, but the batter a bit soggy, cooked in top oven, which we realised last week, wasn't getting up to temperature. This time, it was nicely crisped up. The comment was, it was even better, than our favourite local F&C shop. I would agree with that!

CHICKEN à la motorbiKING:

Just add water...makes up its own sauce.

Salt beef n home cooked chips with brazed parsnips and all washed down with a decent Barolo

Unlike MBK that chicken probably has a spine.

I think it's all down to the amount of starch he puts in his shirt.

 

[securespark]

instead, the flame failure device had failed.

Isn't that its job description?

with lashings of gravy.

"Lashings" always reminds me of Enid Blyton stories,

"They had lashings of ginger beer."

Winner winner for us tonight. Chicken, stuffing, carrots, beans, roasties, parsnips, roast beetroot and Yorkie pud.

We'll be having chicken sandwiches for lunch and chicken and chips for dinner tomorrow too.
