BUBBLE & SQUEAK (Genuine)




Bubble and Squeak as seen here in this Bubble and Squeak recipe is the name for fried left-over vegetables from Sunday Lunch. Traditionally it would be eaten on a Monday for lunch or dinner with a fried egg, bacon, or meat leftovers, especially cold ham. There is no specific recipe it is simply a way of using up whatever you have left from dinner. One main component is mashed potatoes which is the glue holding all the other vegetables together and often, but not always cabbage. In our house we always have mash and brussels sprouts as the main ingredients.

Bubble and Squeak is also known as Bubble or Fry. In Ireland Colcannon is made from mashed potatoes, cabbage or Kale and onion and similar to Bubble and Squeak as is Rumbledethumps in Scotland.


Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
•4 tbsp butter
•½ cup onion, finely chopped
•Leftover mashed potato
•Any leftover vegetables, cabbage, swede, carrots, peas, Brussels Sprouts, finely chopped
•Salt and freshly ground black pepper
•Fried bacon pieces (optional)

Preparation:

•In a large frying pan melt the butter, add the chopped onion and fry gently for 3 mins or until soft.
•Turn the heat up slightly and add the mashed potato and vegetables. Fry for 10 mins turning over in the melted butter two or three times ensuring the potato and vegetables are thoroughly reheated plus you are aiming to brown the outside edges but not to burn the bubble and squeak.
•Press the potato mixture on to the base of the pan with a spatula and leave to cook for 1 min. Flip over and repeat.
•Serve.

An alternative is to mix the potato and vegetables and form into small patties then fry as above.

Bubble and squeak makes a lovely lunch with a fried egg on top.

Welcome to Burrow Springs, the wildest lil' town in the whole of the Wild West!


This here's a rip-roarin' town, so mind your Pees and Queues!


Deppity Phil is holdin' thangs together fer now, but the town needs a new Marshal and quick!


Clay cut his teeth on a six-gun and he's real fast.



Jess, Clay and Dan thought it was just another cattle drive,
they didn't know the dreaded Scratch gang,
some of the Old West's most feared outlaws, had just moved
into the territory and were lookin' to rustle some prime beef!

BUNNYVILLE - Big Momma, EJ, EastBayBunny, CaroBun



Big Momma Izzibun is a decent, God-fearing, upright citizen,
so y'all mind yo manners when she's around!


EJ Bunny's just a simple son of the soil,
exactly what he appears to be......or is he?


EastBayBun's a newcomer in town, bringin' all those hippified, citified ways with him.
So long as he stays on the right side of the tracks (the wrong side!)
then things'll be just fine with the more upright/uptight part of Bunnyville society.
But let him start bringing his Cal-ee-fornian notions uptown
and there's gon' be trouble!


Meek, mild mannered Librarian, CaroBun watches the clock, she cain't hardly wait
to get home to her unusual hobby.  Intrigued?  You're gonna be!

In the Army now



Who doesn't love a man in uniform....or out of it?











Aaron Neville & Trisha Yearwood - I fall to pieces (music)





This is such a brilliant version of the old Patsy Cline classic. I never cared for the original,
but I heard this and just thought wow!
