Okay so my pickled eggs turned out great, didn't get a picture because I ate them all too fast :)
They looked pretty much exactly like this though:

This is Bob, I gave her (yes, her) the bone out of a lamb roast and she attacked it for hours. To the left is Sheba, who is probably pissed that the silly reptile got a bone and she didn't.

I made some pickled eggs today, will report back in about a week on whether or not they gave me botulism.

On this episode of 'Late Night Soul Food With Losc' (alternatively titled: 'Heart Disease; One Home Cooked Midnight Snack at a Time') we have... biscuits and mushroom gravy!

Biscuits (I feel slightly traitorous not calling them scones but I'm going to try to keep with the theme here):



Biscuits and Gravy:



Bonus super blurry WIP picture showing my second favourite late night cooking companion, rum!

A while ago Derren Brown supposedly guessed the lottery numbers before they were announced, he promised to tell people how he did it but then he revealed some clearly made up pseudosciencey bullshit about "the wisdom of crowds". I lost any respect I had for the guy after that.

Roast chicken with (I think) kumara and brocolli:



Recently I've been looking at traditional french cooking and a lot of stock/sauce making. I made a huge batch of sauce espagnole and froze it to make demi glace and other sauces, I won't bother taking a picture as brown liquid isn't particularly exciting.

EDIT: Oh also tonights dinner was fried basa (which the internet tells me is catfish) with coriander and lemon on sauteed silverbeet and garlic. Last night was tofu burgers which ended up being really tasty.
Tofu burger pro tip: curry powder, and lots of it. Didn't take pictures of either of those though because I'm silly.

I had a bunch of photos on my phone but then I changed the OS so they are gone now, regardless I'll dump a few things that I've made recently.
Irish Coffee:



In my next alcoholic adventure I may try my hand at a Pina Colada, mostly because I fucking love them.

Bumpity bump bump bump.
I made some pumpkin pie (two pumpkin pie), here are some shitty phone pics of it:

Pumpkin pie 1, the best looking one imo. I had some weird lighting setting on my camera for this one though so it looks a little funny.


Pumpkin pie 2, apologies for the terrible lighting.

Now off to make some corned beef sandwiches for lunch at 4:30pm.

I just smoked some chicken thighs (bone in).
I marinated them in tandoori paste and yoghurt overnight then smoked them for about an hour in a fish smoker; juiciest, most tender chicken I have ever tasted.

Imo FFXIV really isn't nearly as bad as all the shitty reviews make it out to be, give it a try, you may like it.

replace the pizza with cooking and eating a steak first thing in the morning and erase any mention of showering ever and you've got MY brother
I know you hate your brother Vellfire but I'm sorry, that does kinda sound awesome (minus the never showering ever bit.)

I made a cake:


You probably cant tell from the terrible cellphone photo but it has 4 layers; I put whipped cream and lemon curd in between the layers and then iced the whole thing with lemon cream cheese icing. That's a candied lemon slice on top. All in all it was a pretty tasty cake if I may say so myself, because of the cream cheese icing it tasted a lot like a cheese cake.

I have some other stuff I've cooked recently on my camera memory stick so I'll post those when I find it.

Yeah everyone says 3d sonic games are shit, imo they got shit AFTER the sonic adventure games.


Edit: (Slightly off topic) Has anyone played Sonic Colours? Because it looks pretty damn decent.
