Video Post - Raising The Ante

Cheers you. Weekend song tomorrow, then next week I’ll show you how to cook ridiculously delicious bagels, followed by the usual posts that happen here and a couple of gems I found online that I think you’ll enjoy. Blog my arse. I’m going so mainstream. Three guests and a band by summer? Bit of a monologue to start? “10 minutes, Mr Jones.”

Have a great weekend.

    A crab is not a fish. It’s a crustacean- or if you really want to get technical, a decapod. Decapods are NOT fish, as they have no spine, or indeed, no internal skeleton at all.

  2. Ed R Says:

    Like a bagel. Except a bagel doesn’t have ten legs. Unless you cook them that way.

    Now, that is definitely upping (Verb? No? Okay, “raising” then) the ante, Mr Jones. Looking forward to next week’s foray into daytime. Cheesy bagels. Not a phrase one hears all that often.

    It’s the fish family, anyway. My “producer” was being difficult.

    Thanks Jonners. The bagels will not be televised. It’s a recipe thing. I know some people who read this blog are into cooking and bagels are really simple to make. Plus you can make a whole batch and freeze them. And unlike bread, because the dough is denser, they freeze really well.

    That’s excellent news about the bagels.

    And now I know what my next post is. It’s a copy and paste of an old post of mine about vegetarians and fish. Thank you.

    Where’s your next “on location” coming from?

  6. Cliff Says:

    Uranus.

  7. Wendy Says:

    No it’s not. Noone goes there.

    *shifty eyes*

    Do you boil them before you bake them? Because if you don’t, you’re basically making crusty rolls with holes in them.

    Katy, please.

  10. Katy Newton Says:

    Sorry. But, you know, there are crazy people out there. The amount of times I’ve asked for a bagel and been given a platzel. And if you’re given a platzel, you’ve got to plotz, and then it just degenerates into a great big Yiddish-Shmiddish thing.

    I want in on this multi-host video thing!

    I know the difference between a bisque and a chowder! I can cook Puerco Pibil just as good as Robert Rodriguez! I know how to throw down the meanest Spinach lasagna this side of Emeril! Bam!

    A This Is This bake-off?

  14. Ed R Says:

    Um, no. I was just pointing out that while I am in most areas culinary quite ignorant, I DO know some little fun tidbits that I could sprinkle in among the wonderful crab bagel spreads and veggie fish fry recipes you were proposing. Or were you talking about cooking shoes? What’s with the veggue/vegan/shoe/sock thing? I could quote Yogi Bear about Wendy’s Uranus but she’d hit me. Katy is already going to rip my arms out of their sockets.

    Ooh, that ante isn’t where I left it…

    Go on, Ed. I dare you.
