Hope you made your own sauce for that :) , commercial ones are normally :gag:


I dont ever use commercial sauces.

Last nights marinade:
sunflower oil, kikkoman soy, garlic, mustard, onion, pepper, chili, coriander, fennel. marjoram, oregano, fenugreek...

:D

A few more ingredients, but Im not tellin

It was so good as to cause swoonage.

But if you want bbq sauce, traditional, my recipe is:

2c tomato sauce
1c white vinegar
1/2 c chopped onion
some garlic
1t salt
2t pepper
1/2c brown sugar
1t cayenne
1/2 t liquid smoke

I have plenty of hobbies outside PC, Internet and gaming. I enjoy the gym, am a member of a running club except were season runners so dont resume till April. I generally enjoy my sports such as tennis, badminton, football and snooker. Other than that everything else can be done in my own room....oh no wise jokes there!

I dont play anymore, got no one to play with and I aint going into the shops to play.  But I still follow it quite well especially the novels which have just got soo good, erm imo.  Still got all my figures and stuff though and would love to buy some of the bigger models from Forgeworld but I aint got the cash :(

The other boardgame/roleplaying game I sort of still follow is Battletech, although I aint played a game in a long long time.  But I still like to buy the novels and follow whats going on.  Everynow and then I go through a phase of buying source books from ebay or somewhere, which never get read but am gonna collect the lot if its the last thing I do, maybe.

Dont class either as hobbies though cause I aint actively doing any gaming with either there more something I like to go back to every now and then.

You betcha bum - its bloody hard work but every time you feel like youve achieved something; you meet brilliant people from all walks of life, for a week or two youre so deeply intrenched in sails, ropes, watches, deck-scrubbing, mess duty, climbing aloft, getting all the sleep you can - that all the stresses of normal life just melt away. Brilliant. Highly recommended.

If you can go, go!

TBH, I dont really have that many hobbies.  Most of my free time this winter has been spent on this infernal rig.

One thing  I definately want to make an effort with this year is my cylcing as it is now getting warm enough for a pleasent ride.  Thats something I do enjoy.

Red has kindly leant me his Acoustic Guitar while he is down at Bournemouth Uni, it would be just gathering dust other wise.  Im making an effort to see what I can teach myself.  Progress is slow lol. :-)  

I used to have quite a few other hobbies a while back, used to go swiming every week with friends, used to take keyboard lessons, though I still play it and have my keyboard.

The other thing I occasionly do is go power kiting, Im sure a few of you have read some of the previous threads made before by red on that.  I dont allways enjoy it though, especially when the kite is in control of you, not the other way around.

I train a martial art everyday, I play pool regularly, I like games of badminton and squash whenever I can (or find a partner), and my mate is egging me to try rock climbing.  

Unfortunately finding time for these things is increasingly difficult with college and work commitments. :cry:

On the subject of photography, I recently bought an old Dimage A1 which has SLR type functions (not an SLR tho), and Ive been learning photography that way - using my mums SLR would be too expensive on film alone  :shock:  

But yeah, when Im home its either Dreamcast or XBOX  :P

I know it sounds sad... but I like work.. its.... a challenge (kind of)

My oven and pots are imperial, so thats what I use. :P I dont measure except for baking, just eyeball it and taste :thumbup:

That recipe would work out even if you measured using a cracked coffee mug. Its none too picky. :P

I aint really got any hobbies at the mo other than using computers, couldnt say Im even playing that many games at the mo either.  I really should start looking for some to get me out the house more.  Wouldnt mind getting into photography a bit more but would need a better camera and I aint got £400 at the mo to get even a cheapo SLR camera.


there is always a better cam. but you can take good pics on almost any cam

these pic where all taken on a "toy camera" called a Holga they are less than £20 new and that inc shipping from hongkong, thaty use medium format 120 film (cant wait till I get mine ^.^)

use what you have first see if you enjoy it before splashing out on a dslr
