    It was certainly a soup day! I had home made brown bread and home made vegetable soup too. And a packet of crisps.

    Any chance you could stick up the brown bread recipe please? Would love to give it a try as any time I have tried (with different recipes) it never turns out right! Any tips, advice etc welcome too :o

    A slightly curried butternut squash soup today with some homemade soda bread.

    That book 'Like Mam Used to Bake' is a super cookbook. The nicest soda bread recipe I have used in years. Her carrot cake recipe is amazing too. Had a sneaky slice after lunch :)

    I cheated and used a packet of Odlums that I fund in the cupboard :o

    I'm going to try Mr E's recipe in the Cooking Club though, I just need to buy a second loaf tin because the recipe's for 2 loaves.

    I had some amazing rosemary, oregano and cheese wholemeal bread that my friend's mother made.
    It was delicious and I'm hoping to get the recipe soon.

    I'm cooking a big pan of chickpeas, kale, roast sweet spud, chorizo and caramelised red onion, flavoured with ginger, cayenne and lots of black pepper, for lunches.
    Had this for lunch today. Made a nice change from soup to have something salady. Much better than yesterday's lunch of a banana and a handful of nuts :pac:

    It's really worth the twenty euro. Her recipes are excellent. Boston Cream Pie is beckoning this weekend!

    Carrot & lentil soup, recipe from BBC. Very comforting on a day like this but slightly too cumin-y.

    Very sore head :P Felt like having a dirty plate of rubbish, so ran down to the butchers and got a mountain of wings.
    An hour later ta-daaah, buffalo wings, leftover beetroot slaw, sweet potato chips. Sorted.

    I made this last week, and it was way too cumin-y. I really didn't like it. I will try it again, but will omit the cumin completely I think.

    Today, I had a grilled ham and cheese, American style (cooked in a frying pan), and a glass of milk. Comfort food at it's best :)

    Today I had lamb stew, but could only manage a few spoonfuls, seems I have a touch of the winter vomiting bug. :(

    Huevos Rancheros with chorizo, toast & chips. Really very, very nice but eating the toast AND the beans AND the chips that came with the eggs was a poor choice. Nearly exploded

    I object to calling this rubbish. That's great food, right there.

    Boiled ubhs, toasted soda bread & rashers. Loads of butter & coffee. Discovered that that tub of Fleur de Sel should be rename 'eruption de sel', it's impossible to open without coating a square foot around you in expensive salt

    Is that a bottle of sleeping tablets in the background, from Target in the US? I think I have the same brand. :pac:

    I had soft rolls with ham, cheese and coleslaw. And some bbq crisps. And five mugs of tea.

    Yes! I mistook them for antihistamines earlier. Luckily I realised my mistake before I necked back a couple of sleepy tablets

    We're having pizza later, so I took some dough and made flatbreads. Brushed them with garlic oil and salt and had them with homemade lemon hummus. And a glass of milk.

    We had leftover carrot soup followed by pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup. Then a square of chilli dark chocolate. Time for a snooze.

    I got them in Stock beside Stephen's Green shopping centre in Dublin, it was a couple of years ago now but I think they still have them. You can get them on Amazon as well
