This one is for when you've overindulged the night before. It contains vital fluids, sugars, and some protein. You can take a paracetamol with it too if you like ;)

You will need:

- one hungover human
- half a pint of milk
- a bananananananana
- some powdered ginger OR some finely grated fresh ginger root*
- some honey
- a blender

Method:

- peel the banananananananana and break it up into chunks then drop it in the blender
- add a teaspoon of honey
- add ginger to taste (ginger is good for settling poorly tums)
- pour in the half-pint of milk
- put the lid on and blend till smooth - although you can easily do this with a stick blender if you don't have a big one.
- cringe as the noise of the blender penetrates your delicate skull to its core and swear never to drink again.

Serve with doggie cuddles, a duvet, and a feeling of regret.

* I have one of these little spanish saucer things which makes grating ginger and/or garlic to a fine paste really easy, but I know not everyone has one

Garlic Ranch Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
Red potatoes, as many as needed (I used four)
Garlic, minced (As much as you can handle. This time I used about eleven cloves. It was the center of the garlic bulb, so they were mostly small)
Butter
Half and Half
Homemade ranch dressing (recipe is below)*

Because I used red potatoes, I left the skins on. If you are using a different kind of potato, peel them first. Wash potatoes. Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain. Or if you are in a hurry or are like me this week and don't have access to a working stove, you can “bake” them in the microwave.**

Once the potatoes are done, plop them into a large bowl. Take potato masher of choice and break them up a bit. Add butter to preference and mash until well incorporated. Add Half and Half. Continue to mash and add half and half until potatoes are creamy.

Stir in minced garlic.

Stir in homemade ranch dressing to taste.

Mood: accomplished

The deli counter reduced cabinet was a bit of a bust, but the bread counter one was an embarrassment of riches (even got some Pokemon mini rolls for the daughter). So you're going to get a couple of posts, I'm afraid...

Firstly, Bread and Butter Pudding. Normal Bread and Butter Pudding, not the Extremely Boozy variant.

Equipment Required:

Deep lasagne dish or similar that holds at least 2 pints.
Oven.
Balloon whisk.
Measuring jug.
1 tbsp measuring spoon
Butter knife

This recipe is in imperial rather than metric measurements because milk still comes in pints over here.

Equipment

Slow cooker (Crock pot?)
Tablespoon
possibly a measuring jug if your milk doesn't come in pints?

Ingredients

6oz pudding rice
3 pints milk
4 tablespoons of golden syrup
1 vanilla pod
Knob of butter - the size of your knob is up to you

Method

Put the pudding rice, the milk, the syrup and the Knob into the slow cooker.
Cut open the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into the slow cooker. It's imperative you do this as quickly as possible to retain maximum flavour.
Put the actual pod bits of the vanilla pod into a jar of sugar; this will flavour the sugar for use in cakes etc. Put this aside for another recipe.
Turn on the slow cooker and go do something else for a bit - recommended setting is high but slow cookers are ridiculously variable, so use your judgement.
Stir after about 2 hours.
It'll be ready anywhere between 3 and 6 hours depending on your slow cooker - it should be thick and creamy and not runny.

... the reason I posted bread for last week's challenge is because I knew if push came to shove and I was really busy I could just C&P this:

Extremely Boozy Bread and Butter Pudding

This serves 4 and is about 750kcals per portion

Equipment:

Deep lasagne dish or similar that holds at least 2 pints and has a flat bottom
Oven
Balloon whisk
Mixing bowl
Measuring jug because baileys doesn't come in pints

Ingredients:

6 thick or 8 medium slices of bread
Some butter
Some dried fruit - Suggestions: sultanas, chopped dried apricots, dried cherries. You need enough to have a reasonable amount distributed through the pudding; Christ alone knows what that is in grams, I always look and say "that's about enough".
Some booze to soak the dried fruit in - a whisky or a brandy is best, but if you're using cherries for the fruit, and you can get it, kirsch is amazing
Optional nuts, but not in our household with nut allergic people.
3 eggs
1 pint of Baileys or equivalent Irish Cream concoction - Tesco's own brand one is quite good.
Nutmeg/cinnamon/mace/vanilla extract to taste.
NB: you don't need any sugar because baileys is full of it

Method:

Soak the dried fruit in the booze for as long as you can stand it before you absolutely must have pudding. Overnight is best, but I can never last that long.
Drain the fruit and save the booze for future soaks. Or drink it. Whatever.
Pre heat the oven to 180 electric/160 fan/Gas 4.
Butter all the bread as if you were making sandwiches with it.
Cover the bottom of the lasagne dish with bread, butter side down. You may need to cut the bread up so it fits in the dish; that's fine.
Sprinkle soaked fruit over the layer of bread, then add another layer of bread, butter side up this time.
Keep layering fruit and bread til is level with the top of the dish, and make sure you sprinkle some fruit on top.
In your mixing bowl whisk together your baileys, eggs and whatever spices etc you are using.
Pour it over the bread & butter slowly so it soaks in.
Stick it in the oven for 40 minutes or so till it's golden brown and risen.
Eat immediately, it won't keep.
