1!. go to supermarket
2!. Buy some smoked haddock trimmings/ broken pieces, some ready made mashed potato and a pack of green vegetable medley, and a pint of milk!. You'll also need a little cornflour for preference, but plain flour will do!. You might like some strong cheddar cheese for a topping!.
3!. For pud get some nice quality ice cream such as Mackies, either plain or honeycomb!. You could get some condensed milk in a sqeezy bottle and some cocoa powder to make a yummy chocolate sauce
4!. When you get home, put the fish into a pan with enough milk to just completely cover it!. Heat it gently till it's cooked!. (It will separate easily into flakes, but you can leave it chunky if you want) Remove the fish with a slotted spoon or similar tool, and keep it warm while you make the sauce!. (you can now stick your mashed potato in the microwave, or start heating it in the oven)!. For the sauce put about a tablespoon of cornflour into a small bowl or a cup and mix it with enogh milk to make a smooth runny paste!. Reheat the fishy milk to just below the boil!. add some of the hot milk to the runny cornflour paste, this just makes it easier to mix into the hot milk!. Pour it into the hot milk, it should thicken immediately, if not just put it back on the heat, but keep stirring!. Stir the fish back in!. Now put the fish sauce into an ovenproof dish!. Cover it with the mashed potato!. If you like, grate 3 or 4 ounces of strong cheddar cheese over it!. Put it in the oven to melt and brown the cheese!. Meantime microwave your green vegetable medley!.
Keep that lot warm while you make your chocolate sauce!. The quantities can vary according to your taste, but all you do is put some condensed milk, say three or four tablespoons, into a pan and warm it gently till it goes runny and mix in the cocoa powder a tablespoon at a time till you like the taste!. Pour it over the ice cream!.
Both parts really easy to do!.
As long as you both like fish, that should go down really well, it does in our house! Think I'll do that tonight!Www@FoodAQ@Com

COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My personal favorites…!.using this recipe
are the ‘wings & ribs…!.ummm good!)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz!. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc!.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan!.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken!.
Bring to a boil!. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes!.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking!.!.!.to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken!.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce!. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken!.!.!.!.wings!.!.!.would be ideal!.!.!.add some hot sauce!.!.!.!.presto "Hot Wings"!
I have used Ribs, just as good!.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'!.!.!.!.was equally
as good!.!.!.served over rice!.
I found another variation!.!.!.!.!.omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety)!.
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup!.!.!.!.not)!.
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up!.!.!.!.wouldn't you!?!?
Well!.!.!.while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa!.!.!.!.!.I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband!.!.!.(just proves!.!.!.I can't do two things at once)!.!.!.!.mixed Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) & Cola!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.still turned out really tasty (to me)!.!.!.might be a little sweeter than some of you like!.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but!.!.!.I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet!.!.!.(the kind you get to bake in the oven)!.!.!.!.!.I thought it was really good!.!.!.!.!.(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken)!.
Finally!.!.!.!.!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken!.!.!.!.!.!.that's good , too!.
Another (bright)idea!.!.!.!.!.I thought of trying!.!.!.!.!.!.replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce!.!.!.and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp!.!.!.!.!.!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce!.!.!.!.!.!.eh!.!.!.wasn't all that
great!.!.!.was OK!.!.!.probably won't be fixing it again!.
also tried beef stew cuts!.!.!.!.!.!.that was pretty good!.!.!.!.!.I can see
myself making this again!.
Served both over rice!.!.!.!.!.think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles!.
Try little cocktail wieners/sausages…for appetizers!.
