Tangerine.

Aside from his acting, I worship Michael Caine because at one time he had three separate wine cellars.

What's it all about? Cold fat and rosemary, apparently.

Also he apparently a nosy neighbor. (new window)

This is the man who attacked Nazis with football! Football and Sylvester Stalone

Still not as good as my egg salad recipe

He could always go into sleepy eyelid modelling.

Zulus hate potatoes.

My favorite Michael Caine joke

How does Michael Caine answer the phone?

I'll take it...hello.

Is he not blinking?

He's considered the playboy of the town.

Mugato: Sir? He was knighted? He was in Jaws 4 for Chrisassts.

Yes, but it's balanced by the fact he was also in 'Blame It On Rio'.

/I really need to learn how to post pics.

Gecko Gingrich: olive oil

Poppycock! Everyone knows that duck fat is the only was to lubricate roast potatoes!


Read again. He uses duck fat AND olive oil. Deserves a HERO tag.

I hear that bro. Those titties in that movie. When a young girl grows big ones they are so hot and amazing for a year or someting before gravity gets them, like traci lords had. Awesome. Jaws 3 was ok.

FTFA:His chosen book was The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and his luxury was "a great bed".

Just when he starts to sound even cooler, Ayn Rand has to wreck the scene.

Maybe he likes it ironically

Moonk: Maybe he likes it ironically

I was hoping the same, especially when The Fountainhead and a bed are mentioned in the same sentence, but by the power of Google:

The book I return to is Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. My first daughter was named after its heroine, Dominique Francon. (source)

"Goodnight you princes of men."

This guy should be a butler.

THIS made me laugh: "And so it was quite extraordinary, one day I'd be gardening and I'd look up and the Queen would go by in a Range Rover. She just waved."

And THIS is true:
"The other part is two bathrooms. Never share a bathroom with a woman. There's never any room. You get the little corner with the toothpaste and the razor, and the rest is taken up by stuff."

Great that he likes 'The Fountainhead'.

Sucks that he thinks that crappy Lennon Christmas song is worth listening to.

Not a lot of people know that.

So how many steps are there? Boiling first would be #1 and soaking in cold fat would be #2 and letting them dry #3. Then I get confused.

FTA:"My tip is precook them, boil them first, and put them in cold fat, not hot fat, so it soaks in. Get them absolutely dry.

"Let them steam and then go dry, put the lid back on, shake them so that they go all fluffy, then put them in cold olive oil with rosemary and sage in it. But you've got to boil them first otherwise they'll be no good."

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Mugato: Sir? He was knighted? He was in Jaws 4 for Chrisassts.

The super-awful was balanced out by the super-awesome... the super-awesome in this case being The Muppet Christmas Carol.

That's easily enough to absolve him of any Jaws sequel involvement.

Damn right! Best Scrooge ever!

I read that entire headline in his voice. Well done, subby.

Boil them, steam them off to finish, rough them up a little, soak in herb infused oil, bake.

Thanks, Bored Horde. Makes sense now. The roughing up and cold oil/fat instead of hot are new to me but typically British according to UK Answers Yahoo.

He farking stole MY recipe for awesome roast potatoes.

No one seems to know that the secret to great potatoes is to boil them really, really slowly before you do anything to them. I tell people this, but they all lack the patience to do it. The fools.

Absolutely true. Pretty much any recipe calling for potatoes can be made better by doing this beforehand.

Olive oil? Bah humbug!

Some men aren't looking for anything logical like cold fat. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned with or shown the recipe. Some men just want to watch the potatoes burn.

Yeah, but he probably pronounces it "po-TAH-toes," so dock him a point.

Mugato: Jaws

Michael Caine quote regarding this film: "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

Should be knighted for that quote....

I'll always remember him as the British Dude.

Good Role

is it bad that the first movie i think of when i see his pic is Miss Congeniality?
:(

Dr. Nick Riviera:
Damn right! Best Scrooge ever!

I strongly disagree!



But Sir Michael has done plenty of good stuff, including the good version of The Italian Job.

Seems to me that he should have switched to cooking a long time ago.
