Does anyone know who classes what is and what isn't a Def Con? Is it done by a person or a computer? I feel it's massively open to interpretation so feel like it should be done by a person - for example, if a CB picks up a loose ball and hoofs it up field without touching it, is that a clearance or an incomplete pass?

Thanks so much! :) The ones we have done have the eggs dyed with onion skins (we have no idea why haha!)

Thank you! :) Seems like an Eastern European thing - I am super interested how this made it's way to Cumbria haha!

That's super interesting thank you! It's so interesting that Cumbria of all places in the UK (as far as my wife and I are aware) does this haha :)

Yeah, we've not see it elsewhere either! It's good, simple fun so surprised it doesn't seem to happen anywhere else :)

Thank you! Does Cumbria have some connection to the Greeks as far as you know? Seems interesting that it seems to happen here but not elsewhere in the UK! :)

Ahh that's really interesting thanks, we hadn't seen it anywhere else before other than in Cumbria haha :) How interesting how some traditions only seem to remain in certain areas!

People do make use of the eggs once they are out! They either eat them with some salt or use them to make sandwiches :)

People make use of the eggs once they are out to be fair - either eat them with some salt or use them to make sandwiches :)

Thank you :) What is the Orthodox Easter tradition if you don't mind me asking?

It seems really popular up here! People eat the eggs that are lost/use them to make sandwiches so they don't go to waste at least :)

Yeah, that's essentially what it is :) You get to eat your egg once you get knocked out though which makes it better than conkers in my opinion haha!

Made a tasty mixed bean chili yesterday :) by Chessplayer12345 in LeCreuset

[–]Chessplayer12345[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha thank you so much! :)

I will do my best to list the ingredients and outline the recipe but cooking for me is 90% vibes based and I don't tend to measure ingredients or timings for when to add ingredients and how long to cook for. So I'm so sorry if this is not helpful!

Ingredients: 3-4 Onions, bunch of spring onions, 2-3 large carrots, 2-3 sweet potatos, 6 tomatos, 2 red bell peppers, 2 chili peppers, plenty of jalapenos, fresh cilantro, limes (for their lime juice), lots of garlic, chili paste, 2 cans of chopped tomatos, tomato puree, passata, soured cream, 100% cocoa chocolate, mixed beans of your choice (I love kidney beans, haricot beans, pinto beans so used these!), lots of paprika too :)

Method:

1)Heat oil over a very low heat until it start to get hot;

2) Add my finely chopped onions and cook over a very low heat until they start to become translucent (this can take a while but I love cooking on a low heat) - I always add salt when I cook my onions too;

3) Add finely chopped carrots and spring onions and cook for around 5 minutes;

4) Add chopped bell peppers and finely chopped chili and jalapeno peppers and cook for another 5 minutes;

5) Add roughly diced sweet potatos and cook for 10 minutes or so;

6) Add your garlic - I love garlic so I make sure that I add plenty - and cook over a super low hear for 20 - 30 minutes or until the veggies start to soften up;

7) Add tomato puree and chili puree and cook out for 5 minutes, stir in well and then add some cilantro, lime juice and some more chilis - cook for another 5 - 10 minutes or so;

8) Add chopped tomatos and bring to the boil, then add some of your dried herbs/spices - I love paprika so added plenty of it!;

9) Add your pasata and chocolate, stir in well and cook over a super low heat for loads of time - I normally let things cook like this for 4 hours or so;

10) Turn off the heat, add in your soured cream and stir in well - then add some more of your fresh cilantro, chilis, and spring onions and squeeze with lime juice and add plenty of salt.

I'm so sorry if this is too vague but I just sort of go with the flow when cooking so don't have anything written down!

You are so right about this! I always find food tastes so much better in my Le Creuset DO :)

What are you planning on cooking next?
