Those of you who have seen both Star Wars and Snatch are in for a treat with this excellent video mashup. Enter Bricktop as Darth Vader and be prepared to be entertained.

When Jamie Oliver first came onto the TV chef scene many years ago I took an instant dislike to him – in fact I can remember calling him a “fat tongued mockney wanker” on more than one occasion!
However over the years I’d mellowed to him quite considerably and in fact now own a few of his cook books. Besides he kind of got me on side with his School Dinners publicity stunt…
So, it’s about a fortnight since I horribly embarrassed myself when I revealed that I had gained 7lbs instead of actually loosing weight, so I guess you could say I was absolutely determined to loose weight this time.
I would like to say that this diet and fitness lark hasn’t been all plain sailing… Just this Friday I, along with my father, polished off 4 bottles of wine with large quantities of BBQ food. When the wine was gone I then proceeded to assist my lovely wife in drinking a few cases of Budweiser! Not only did these stupid events lead to the intake of a vast amount of calories but the preceding hangover ensured that I stayed away from the gym the next day! BAD, BAD BOY!
However rather than admit defeat and blow my Fat-to-Fit project out of the water I simply started again the next day.
I’ve been moaning for months and months (if not years) about my current set of kitchen knives. My early Sabatier knife block set is now around 15 years old and has been so used and abused that the steel has worn smooth!
I still remember finding them for the bargain price of £150 in a sale and being called insane for wasting* so much money on a set of knives but, boy, have they served me well.
I know that I could probably just buy a new steel and get them sharpened and they would probably last another 15 years (the boning knife is still exceedingly sharp despite constant abuse) but it doesn’t stop me window shopping for a new set. And I think I’ve found my next dream kitchen purchase.
You may ask why is it a dream kitchen purchase, well at £485 for a 6 knife set there’s little hope of them gracing my kitchen anytime soon 
I’ve never been good with purely vegetarian dishes -- I always want to add a bit of meat for texture and flavour! However in an attempt to reduce my meat intake I knocked together this tasty, filling and more importantly healthy dish in under 15 minutes last night and more importantly I didn’t miss the meat at all!
For those of you on a Slimming World diet it should fit in perfectly as an evening meal on a green day. It’s not a completely free meal, but as with most of my recipes each ingredient is optional, so feel free to add/remove bits to your hearts content!
The first thing you need to do is finely chop a red onion or two. It does need to be fine, not chunky -- the rest of the veg makes up the chunky part of this recipe. Here’s Gordon to show you how…
