I love cooking, so much I want to share more.lol

This was a recipe I got from my late gran. I still cannot perfect her soup but I get close to it.
This was her recipe and instructions
Before I tell you I got to get your promise you dont tell anyone else this

Also you will need a pressure cooker since I dont know how to get it without it. I use a 5 ltr pressure cooker

Pressure cooker,
One large leek
one turnip
2 parsnip
1 ham hough or 2 ham stock cubes
one oxo cube
4 slice of bacon
6 grated carrots
250gms of lentils
one onion
2 garlic cloves
teaspoon of mixed herbs
teaspoon of coriander

You might not fit everything in, if not then take abit of everything out.
Chuck it all in the pressure pot and fill with water to half way. it should be runny and not too thick as when cooking it will all thicken up, if it does then at the end spilt it into two pots and add more water.

Make sure everyting is finely chopped or grated

instead of lentils you can use spilt peas. Soak them overnight or boil them for half hour before adding to the soup.

and since this is a chord site you should always have your guitar at hand to play a tune while cooking.

once everything is in the pressure pot turn heat up and once it starts to hiss cook it for about 12 minutes. Slow release on the steam.

Add salt and pepper to taste

play your guitar and get your spouse to serve it

hi Krystabulous and welcome to chorie

I learned on a really cheap done in knackered guitar, the bridge was a bit broke as well as a tuning key, the action was too high and it had wee hole from where the darts went into the body. ( my mate that I got it off decided the place for it to be was under the dart board)

So yeah a cheap one is OK to learn on.
It will give you the feel for it, but not the true feeling you can get with a better guitar. I would love a different guitar myself just now. I guess every guitar player wants to better his instrument as years go by.

Once you have decided the guitar is an instrument you love and you are managing OK with learning and you can afford it then move up a step and get a better one.
But dont do what I done and rush into getting a new one. new ones that are a bit dearer may not to be that great.
I went from the tatty one to spending £65 and realised after playing other folks guitars this new one still was not good enough for me but I couldnt go out and buy another straight away. I wished I saved for a couple more months. So I had that for about a year before I got another better one. I got it for £120 ( reduced from 160) and I think it is good enough for me but I do want another. I have my eye on an ibenez semi acoustic.

OK ,i am going off on one here

yes cheap ones are ok to practice and learn on until you know you are not wasting your money buying something better that you might not play.

Julian Smith is his name

I am sure this got asked before??? maybe not???

anyway, I asked the same question to a fiddle/violin player. She said the difference was the way it was played. i.e irish, hillbilly etc is fiddle and classical and orchestra etc is violin.
seemed like a good enough answer to me

Ken

I was thinking of an eminem song, a line from " im sorry momma" but I could not type the words in here and if I were to replace the swear words the line would look like this

*******   **********   if @*&^*   you little @>?:*& nothing

he really does have some great lines in his songs.

Ken

good follow up post kenny.

my favourite line I wrote myself I think would have to be from one of my first songs I wrote.

From a song called " time" A sad song about staying with a woman that is very upset after a terrible time in her life and not wanting anyone to be near her.

Time will pass and time can heal, time has got time to steal
Time may not be your frind but it's not all you've got until tomorrow

Ken

please go to resources and read on how to add a song.

you will have to get it hosted on another site first before it is shown in chordie

thanks
