Foo - Race 3

In with the bunch.

http://www.londoncyclesport.com/pics_2006_rd/hill_rr_14/84.jpg

Results will follow in the next few days, I would estimate I was once more in the top 10, probably top 5 in the 3rd category race.

Great race three is up, so I'll start.

We like to make mashed sweet potatoes instead of traditional mashed potatoes. The recipe is quite simple:

3-4 large sweet potatoes washed and pealed
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
2 tbsp of butter
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 cup of milk


In a large pot bring water to boil. Add sweet potatoes and cook until very tender. Drain and add ingredients. Mash.

I also have a great recipe for sweet potato fries that are baked and very good. I'll hold that one back until race 4.

Oh yeah nice finish EURO, keep your eye on the prize and all that.

Congrats EURO, I've not seen you around for a while. Good to see you're still in the game.

Take it easy.

Really good job, but I think we would enjoy your posts more, take them a bit more seriously, if you actually gave a race report. Check out the Racing forum and look at the posts from SteveAZ, Pizzaman and myself, it makes for much more interesting reading.

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Ok, where's the spinach lasagna recipie; I've been eagerly awaiting....

Don't patronise me.

Easy sport I'm not patronising you, I'm serious. I would really like to hear your race report. I think reading about what it's like to race in Europe from someone who's doing it first hand would be interesting.

Look I'm not going to lie to you and say that I think you've done your best to win over the 'hearts and minds' of the members of this forum. But I do respect the effort you are putting in to achieve your goals. I work hard at my racing also so I understand the sacrifices that you are making. But most of us would be less inclined to give it back to you if you were more forthcoming about your races and the sacrifices leading up to them. Seriously you don't see this type of reaction toward the other racers on this forum. Give it shot you've got nothing to lose.

Your race post was kind of bla... but that mashed sweet potato recipe,humm hummm.. good! now here's an attention grabber!

I would agree. Some of us would like to read a race report, hell, even a well written recreational ride report is fun to read,(like OC Roadie has done). Give it up.

Good job!

Hey I'm glad you like the recipe but you thought my race report was boring? I'm hurt to the very core! :D

I was refering to euro's!! lol... there was no details ect, just a lot of bla bla bla.. need details!!!! but in the mean time, can you fed ex some mashed potatoes? :D

Wow EURO, that's real gooood. What's your secret - can you offer up some tips to those just getting started?

55/Rad

I'm with 2Roadies. EURO, it's not secret what your reputation is on the board, even someone as thick skulled as you knows it. Now since you've started racing, and doing well I'll agree, you seem to have lightened up a tad. But by a tad I mean the smallest margin imaginable by a human being. :rolleyes: I give credit where credit is due, and I'll say that you are doing well in your races, but your posts about them leave much to be desired. It seems your only purpose of the last two have been to shove your results in the faces of those who 'doubted' you. And maybe, that's exactly what your intent is. Guess that's our loss as much as it is yours. :rolleyes:

Go have a good :beer: or five, maybe we'll get lucky and you'll have a happy drunk. From all the photos I've seen of you thus far, you're sure not very cheerful sober! ;)

Slightly off topic, but has anyone noticed that the word "neurotic" contains the word "euro."

N-euro-tic.

Might be a coincidence -- but I think there may some hidden meaning or association.

Limpet Pie!

Limpets
Shortcrust Pastry
110g (4oz) Streaky Bacon
2 Hard Boiled Eggs
1 Onion
Milk or Egg (Optional)

Cook the limpets until just tender.
Cut the bacon into cubes and fry lightly.
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
Pre-heat oven to 180°C: 350°F: Gas 4.
Line a pie dish with thinly rolled short crust pastry.
Fill dish with alternate layers of limpets, bacon, sliced egg and onion.
Cover with a pastry lid, brush with milk or beaten egg.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for a further 30 minutes.

My favorite protein shake:

3/4 cup orange juice
two tablespoons blueberries
4 large strawberries
6 ounces of vanilla creme lite yogurt
1 scoop optimum nutrition vanilla whey protein
6 - 8 ice cubes
put it all in the blender

It makes a great protein shake, tastes more like a desert though. I generally drink it a couple of hours before bed.

In with the bunch.

Am I wrong in assuming that you are the fella in the photo wearing the snappy blue shoe covers? He's the one wearing a jersey similar to the one pictured in your avatar.

Unless you made it all up, that is.

Hey Limpet - did you get permission from Dennis Sackett to publicly display his work?

^^^ Sackett is lucky his work is being advertised
for free by a S U P E R S T A R !

:roflmao:

It starts with cycling, but it always turns to foo.

Moved.

;) What a good read...

Correct. Those will be the purpose of the following 40-or-so as well.

Another stinker on the pile...

Why not move it to the Racing Forum - where Mr. Limpet can get real feedback from his peers?

Oh wait, the air blown from the collective laugh could cause some serious global weather issues.

I think I was 19th today, once more between 5th and 10th in the 3rds race.

I'll have a nice break from Hillingdon now until April.

Hey, I've got an idea ZURO/Robert F. Why don't you make up a name for a new email account and go 'tell on me'. 'In my business' LOL.

FYI, I've bought photos from Dennis before...

Good idea. Why don't you mosey over there and have a look?

One can only imagine what your "trophy" room looks like. Got any mounted Limpets?

One can only wonder which will happen first : Will Euro break the top thousand, or will 55/Rad get his bike painted?

since we're in foo... that reminds me of something.. the best trophee I have ever had was after a race when my daughter was waiting for me at the finish line and pulled out a drawing hiding from under her shirt and gave it to me.. It was a drawing of me first running and then cycling and under neath it read... Someday mom, I'm going to be just like you... that to me made me feel like I finish in first place.:)

EURO - seriously mate, if you don't have permission to post the photo from the photographer it is indeed copyright infringement. Your photo is a direct link from londoncyclesport.com who does have permission to post the photos on THEIR website. At the absolute least you could edit your original post with a link back to the photograher's website giving credit. (Yes I know his website and name are embedded in the image, why do you think they are there? To ensure no one else takes credit for the work.)

Now that's a sweet comment. Nearly evens out the sourness of EURO's face in all these pictures of him. ;) See my signature for my sentiments on the topic. Oh, and I don't think posting 'I told you so' posts after each race is much of an accomplishment. ;)

One can only wonder which will happen first : Will Euro break the top thousand, or will 55/Rad get his bike painted?
I'll concede that one too.

I'll concede that one too.

That's not a good sign for the Tete! *swiggly face*

Ok, where's the spinach lasagna recipie; I've been eagerly awaiting....

Okay.

You'll need romano cheese, parmesean cheese, goat cheese, sour cream, fresh cream, mushrooms, onions, spinach, lasagna noodles, salt, pepper, garlic.

Saute the onions in some olive oil with the garlic. Add the mushrooms a bit later to soften them up. Spinach is cleaned and chopped a bit, doesn't need to be too small. Cook the noodles to soften them up but still firm to the bite.

Mix the onions, mushrooms, garlic with the sour cream, fresh cream and cheeses. Not too soupy, not too dry. Season it up with salt and pepper, maybe some parsley or thyme.

Cover the bottom of the casserole dish with noodles, then the cheese mixture, then plenty of spinach, repeat until dish is full. Bake at 350-375F; when almost done, spread some grated cheese on top.

Feedback about what? Recipes?

Nah. It works juuuuuust fine in foo.

:roflmao: well said. ;)

I'm partial to the Limpet Pie posted earlier.

Feedback about what? Recipes?


I look forward to the recipies.

Euro is now posting in the racing forum and there's a dearth of recipes. Perhaps the gourmonds who here contributed to this thread could help him out bit.

EURO's post in the Racing forum actually seems... well... almost genuiine. Scary I know. He irritates me more than anyone else on the forum with his quest to prove all his doubters wrong, but if he wants to take the high road in a thread about his racing, I'm not going to drag it down.

Now, back to making Limpet Pie... must find me some Limpets first I persume.

That thread in the road racing forum seems to have dried up rather quickly. Perhaps it received attention commensurate with the level of achievement attained by the poster.

LIMPETS KLALLAM, INDIAN STYLE

Find a large intertidal rock that is covered with limpets. • Lay a blanket of carefully rinsed (in sand-free seawater) sea vegetable over the rock and cover the sea vegetable with hot stones. The tiny mollusks will loosen their holds as they become cooked. Eat them on the spot or take them home.

EURO - seriously mate, if you don't have permission to post the photo from the photographer it is indeed copyright infringement.
I think you'd better be a bit consistent and take that up with iamtim, who's not only linking to copyrighted material, he's also altering it without permission from the copyright holder...

Hey, Rad /ZURO/Rober F- check out the road racing forum, I don't see any 'collective laughs'. Could this be yet another of your oh-so-confident assertions that turns out to be false?
