Last night a smokey bacon & mince tomato sause pasta bake with parmesan cheese on top with garlic potatos - had 2nd, 3rd and 4th helpings!!

Oooh... that sounds yummy. Have you the recipe?

Can't be the traditional grub- had bacon, black pudding and colcannon for dinner yesterday!

Chicken Thigh and Leg cooked in a Spicy Tomato sauce with Onion and Mushroom, served with Mashed Spuds and carrots.

Was delicious, and I have another helping of the sauce left.

I love eating chicken on the bone, so much more tasty than breast fillets. When it's cooked perfectly it just falls off the bone too.

On sunday night I had baked tuna fillets with steamed Brocolli and Asparagus and boiled baby potatos.

The Tuna Fillets were frozen from Aldi, and absolutely delicious.

i literally threw everything into a pan - dunno if i could remember what all was in it!! I fried smokey bacon, onions, mushrooms, peppers, garlic, tomatos, chilli, mince, lemon juice and brocolli, into a pan and tried, canned of tomatos, salt, pepper and basil, and let it simmer - flung in the pasta and put it in the oven with grated cheese on top. Then when it was golden brown served it with grated parmesan cheese.

Got the idea from a lyod grossman smokey bacon sauce I tried a while back.

I'm hungry now again.

I used to buy those and always had them in the freezer. They are about a third of the price of the fresh ones from the fishmonger and they are just as nice. Definitely recommend them. They were so handy to have in the freezer.

Not sure what to call this.

I put a good dollop of Olive Oil in a pan with loads of garlic (at least 2-3 big cloves) Fried that off then added a tin of chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper. A fist full of fresh Spinach. A bag of frozen king prawns. A tin of John West Crab Meat. Juice from half a lemon. A splash of White Wine. Simmer for 20 mins. I had it with baby potatoes.

Ate the lot in one go.!!

We had new season locally (Tralee) grown spring cabbage and queens potatoes with a piece of vac pack corned beef ex. Dunnes, which was quiet tasty and tender.It actually reminded me of a dinner my Mam would have made all those years ago.

Sounds amazing. can you elaborate on the cooking in beer. pork or beef ribs etc.??

Minder

Murmez Khan's lamb curry from Rick Stein's book, with plain boiled rice, cucumber raita, a salad of red onion, green olive and tomato and some poppadoms with mango chutney.

The Sweeper

Garlic roast chicken with every trimming I could think of, including carrot and swede mash, crushed potatoes with parsley butter and sea salt, floury roast potatoes, roast pumpkin, roast parsnips and home made gravy.

Parsnips are crap here at the moment - woody centres.

they were bog standard pork ribs i got in the butchers. i stuck them in a casserole dish with a chopped onion and 2 chopped cloves of garlic. the beer i used was erdinger dunkel as i had some in the press, you could prob use any beer. i cooked that mix for an hour at 100 degrees C. They were more or less done at that stage but i covered them in sauce and grilled them. They turned out great, but would probably have been better if i had a barbecue.

Tonights dinner was one of our own freerange, organic Broilers.
I killed it yesterday evening and plucked gutted and cleaned it last night.
Mrs Haughey roasted it with gravy, roast spuds and and roast sweet potato and carrot, the gravy from the chicken was very tasty.
Hard to beat good food that you trust and know has had a good life.
We have another 5 chickens to dispatch in the next few weeks, will probably freeze them up and have them ready for future roast dinners.

Tonight was nice, simple comfort food - pasta bake. Cooked some pasta until almost al dente, and made a rich, garlicky tomato sauce to toss it in. I added a few tablespoons of sweetcorn, and topped with bechamel sauce and cheddar, and baked. We ate it with a rocket salad. It was delicious.

hussey

Fry: italian sausages, onions, red pepper & mushrooms

Plucking, gutting and cleaning it I think I could manage. It's actually killing it I'd baulk at. Sorry state of affairs, I know. I often discuss with a neighbour how if I could, I'd have some land with a couple of cattle, sheep and chickens, all for meat, but I'd need to be able to hire a mobile slaughterman to come around and do the deed.

yesterday i had the new texican whopper from burger king, not one for BK at all but the add for this caught my eye a few weeks ago and i didnt fancy cooking. it wasnt bad at all, probably the best form BK i have had. they were a bit tight with the halapenos for my liking but not bad for fast food.
