There is no question mark in "Барбоса"
Also known as piri-piri. It's a hot sauce made with bird eye chillies, garlic, pepper, lemon, herbs, and some other stuff. It's quite dry and bittersweet, but very spicy.

I must apologise Barbosa, I was posting from my shitty Orange phone from work earlier, and the shitty Orange thing with the Opera mini browser shows the characters in your user name as just question marks. A thousand begs for a thousand pardons. Try mixing muesli or dried fruit in with your porridge.

Барбоса and (the sound of madness?), you guys from Ireland??

Northern Ireland for me. North coast of Co. Antrim near the Giant's Causeway
SoM. is from the Republic of Ireland, specifically Co. Roscommon, where my maternal grandfather's family is from.
And I have no need of museli or dried fruit in my porridge.

Cool cool, I'm down in Galway. Couldnt be further from the north coast of Antrim. Though my hometown aint to far from Roscommon either. I tip my hat to ye fine gentlemen.
Cous Cous for breakfast today, needed something warm and of course the toaster is broken!

Galway City by any chance? Me and Dragon Saga are in Galway city, if i recall correctly Sound of Madness was planning on going to NUI Galway too.
Scrambled egg on toast this morning, my favorite breakfast but i rarely have the time in the morning to make it. If ive got college or work in the morning im usually stuck for time and end up having toast or Frosties. Boring as fuck i know.
If you do the scrambled egg routine right you can get it done in 4 minutes or less.
Put the kettle on, warm up your butter in a non-stick frying pan, use the smallest ring on your hob on high.
When the kettle's boiled and the butter's melted, brew your tea, put your bread in the toaster, and crack your eggs straight in the pan.
Use a thick plastic spatula to beat the eggs, breaking the yolk and stirring them all together.
Alternate between 20 seconds on the heat, 10 seconds off. They will still cook in the hot pan off the heat. Keep stirring until you have the consistency you desire.
Your toast should pop and your tea should be brewed at the same time as your eggs being cooked. Plate up and serve.
When you've been a chef in a hotel restaurant during a breakfast shift and you've got all the guests coming down and ordering at separate times even though breakfast is served until 11am and not one second later, you learn to do things quickly.

By god you've earned your nomination for rookie of the year. Are you taking notes Yazloz?
Ive actually started working as a barman in a busy hotel recently, those chefs don't have it easy.

Cheffing totally sucks as a job. Minimum wage, anti-social hours, general lack of praise. I'm glad I got out. It's only worth getting into as a career if you intend on running your own place - that's where the money is, but only if you're successful. Restaurants open and close all the time, the turnover is ridiculous.

I have a similar intermixing of cooking times. I don't use butter/oil though. A little milk in with the eggs keeps them from sticking and makes for a nice fluffy consistency. The odd time I might fry a cut up sausage or strip of bacon in the scrambled egg saucepan - still no need for oil/butter though. Start with a little water in the bottom of the pan and once things are hot, the meat cooks in its own fat. All works perfectly.
Another of my favourites is that the time it takes my toaster to make toast is exactly the same time it takes for my saucepan to make excellent poached eggs. Boil kettle, use it to fill saucepan, bring saucepan to boil while brewing tea, take saucepan off the heat, crack in eggs, place on lid and simultaneously pop down the toast, fix tea and then toast and eggs ready at the same time.

Chorizo is a good one for that too. You can just stick cubes of it straight in a hot pan and the fat in it will sweat out, giving it an overall softer texture. It's Christmas market season so I'm getting all sorts of funky German sausage in at the moment.

Do you do the same as me and imagine yourself doing the Quickie Bag from Ready Steady Cook?

Not a big fan of Chorizo and egg as I find it to be too overpowering and I actually like the taste of the egg better than anything.
No, I just hate wasting time. My cooking style is engineered to be as time/effort efficient as possible.
Well what have you got?

Porridge again early this morning but lunch was a different affair. Hit the continental market after teaching... It was nearly a fatal decision...
In the 40 mins I was there I bought 3 breads, 2 salamis, a large doughnut, a pint of erdinger ale, a pulled pork bap cooked on a spit roast and a springbok burger... Thank the Lord I had a train to catch.
